Student Counselling in York

​​​​​​

​If you are a new or returning student looking for private therapy

while you are studying at the University of York, York St John

university or another UK university, you are in the right place. 

​

I am an experienced university counsellor who has worked in

higher education for 12 years. I know how exciting university life

can be and also how challenging. Having someone who you can

talk with, who is interested and supportive, but does not have an

agenda or expectations, can be invaluable at this time. 

 

I can offer: ​

​

• A quick start. I know how important it can be to talk to someone sooner rather than later. 

• Face to face, Zoom or phone counselling. You can mix and match these to suit your needs. 

• Vacation breaks and flexibility from week to week if your study or employment timetable changes.

• A comfortable counselling room away from the university campus and within walking distance of Heslington and the city centre.

• Free car parking just outside and bicycle space. ​​

​​​​

​I have an excellent understanding of a wide range of student specific concerns including:​​

​

• Academic stress, pressures and expectations 

• Transition to university life and managing university life

• Perfectionism, procrastination and imposter syndrome

• Relationship dynamics/breakdowns with family, friends, partner, course peers and housemates

• Starting and leaving university

• First jobs, first partner and first time living away from home. 

• Coming out as LGBTQ+ at university 

​

I have experience working with all of the following students: 

​

• College students aged 18+, university applicants, offer holders and students on a year out 

• Undergraduates and foundation year students 

• Postgraduate Masters and PhD students 

• International and visiting students 

• Mature students 

• Students on placement and year in industry 

• Students on leave of absence, who are deferring, withdrawing or have withdrawn from university 

• Recent graduates 

 

 As well as working with issues that may affect you as a student, I can also support you with longer standing concerns that may affect you while at university including anxiety, depression, loneliness and low self esteem.
