Dolly | Counselling Therapist

Counselling York

If your thoughts and feelings feel confusing or overwhelming, I can help you begin to untangle them and offer space to talk things through which can often ease some of that pressure. If you're feeling low in self-esteem or confidence, we can explore where that might be coming from and look at small, manageable steps to help you feel more like the version of yourself you want to be. If something difficult has happened and it feels like it’s weighing heavily on you, I can offer a private, supportive space to process it safely, so it doesn’t have to take up so much space or have as much control over you.

People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons, sometimes it’s because they’re feeling anxious, stuck, or lost, or going through a big life change like the end of a relationship, a shift in identity, or a bereavement. Other times, it’s old experiences that are still lingering and affecting how they feel about themselves or how they relate to others now. You might notice patterns in relationships that are hard to shift, struggle with boundaries, or feel disconnected from who you are.

My way of working is about building a safe relationship that’s separate and different from all your other relationships, one where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgement or pressure. It gives you the chance to make sense of things you may have been carrying on your own and grow your self-awareness. Depending on what you need, our work might also include some psychoeducation — for example, understanding your attachment style, exploring patterns of anxiety, or learning practical tools to help calm and regulate.
