Helping you build happier relationships

Qualified BACP counsellor offering individual and couples therapy based in York, UK.

My Approach

My training was in humanistic therapies, I believe that the person is the expert on themselves, and everyone has the ability to achieve their goals in life with the right support.

My counselling approach offers a mindful interpersonal ‘way of being’ with clients, which I believe helps develop the therapeutic relationship.

I offer in-person appointments in a confidential environment, where you can share the issues that you are concerned about and receive the support you need.

Couples Counselling

I work with couples on a wide range of issues, such as communication issues, parenting, addiction, affairs, intimacy issues, and financial problems. I have experience of working with neurodiversity in relationships.

Individual Counselling

If you are looking for individual counselling I am able to offer you confidential, in-person space to explore what you would like to discuss which is causing you distress.

KIND WORDS

“Working with Laila as my counsellor was one of the best decisions of my life. Laila is patient and an exceptional listener, her ability to reflect and appropriately challenge me, helped me immensely in figuring out the steps through my own mental health recovery.”
