Counselling & Therapy Leeds

Counselling & Therapy Services Leeds
Finding the right therapist or counsellor is important, with our experienced team at York Therapy Clinic is here to support individuals, couples, and families across Leeds.
Our experienced team of therapists, counsellors, and psychologists offers a confidential and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and life challenges at their own pace. We are committed to delivering a high standard of care, tailored to the needs of everyone.
Life in a busy city like Leeds can bring its own pressures, and we understand that asking for help is not always straightforward. Whether you are living with persistent anxiety, low mood, the effects of trauma, or difficulties in a relationship, our therapists are here to provide the space, support, and practical guidance you need to move forward.
Counselling Leeds
Our counsellors in Leeds work with adults, young people, and couples dealing with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. These include anxiety, depression, stress, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem, trauma, OCD, phobias, and relationship breakdown.
For couples, our relationship counselling provides a structured and impartial space to work through conflict, rebuild communication, and reconnect emotionally. Whether a relationship is under strain or has reached a critical point, our counsellors support partners in finding a constructive way forward together.
Our child and adolescent counselling is available to younger clients who need support navigating emotional difficulties, changes at home or school, and the challenges of growing up. Working sensitively with children and families, our counsellors help young people develop the resilience and coping skills to manage life’s pressures with greater confidence.
Therapy Leeds
Alongside counselling, we offer a broad range of specialist therapy options for clients in Leeds, each grounded in clinical evidence and adapted to individual needs and goals.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and thoroughly researched psychological treatments available. It helps clients to understand how their thoughts and behaviours are connected, and to develop more helpful patterns of thinking and responding.
For clients whose challenges are rooted in past trauma, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) offers a highly effective, evidence-based approach to processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing impact on daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses mindfulness-based techniques to help clients relate more flexibly to difficult thoughts and emotions, and to take meaningful action in line with their values.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) supports those who experience significant self-criticism or shame, while psychotherapy provides a deeper, more exploratory approach for clients who wish to understand how past experiences may be influencing their present wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are some distinctions worth understanding. Counsellors typically focus on specific present-day difficulties, such as anxiety, relationship problems, or bereavement, and tend to work in a more structured, shorter-term way.
Therapists, including psychotherapists and psychologists, may work with a broader range of presentations and often explore deeper or longer-standing patterns of thought, emotion, and behaviour. At York Therapy Clinic, our team includes both counsellors and therapists, and we will match you with the most appropriate professional for your needs.
Choosing the right approach can feel overwhelming, particularly if you are new to therapy. When you contact us, our team will ask about your situation and what you are hoping to achieve, and use this to recommend the most suitable type of therapy and therapist.
You do not need to arrive with a clear idea of what you need; that is something we can help you work out together. You can find out more about the therapies we offer on our services page.
Yes. All of our services are available both face to face at our nearby clinics and via online therapy through video call. Online counselling and therapy offer the same quality of care as in-person sessions and can be a practical option for clients with busy schedules, mobility considerations, or a preference for engaging with therapy from their own environment.
The number of sessions varies depending on the individual, the nature of the difficulty, and the type of therapy being used. Some clients benefit from a focused course of six to eight sessions, while others find that longer-term support is more appropriate for their needs. Your therapist will discuss this with you from the outset and review progress regularly throughout.
You can get in touch by calling us on 07788 129245 or by completing the contact form below. A member of our team will respond promptly to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and help you arrange an initial appointment at a time that suits you.
