Siobhan | Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist

Psychotherapy Harrogate

I'm a relational, integrative psychotherapist and EMDR therapist supporting couples and individuals who feel disconnected, stuck or unsure how to move forward in your relationships, you're not alone. I work relationally with individuals and couples to help you understand what's happening between you and the people you care about - without blalme, shame or pressure just to "fix it".

My work is relational at its core - I help couples understand how patterns develop between them and how change becomes possible within relationships.I enable couples to communicate effectively and help partners to understand how each other history, triggers, and needs show up in their relationship. I support couples in exploring the emotional and relational dynamics that shape conflict, distance and repair. Rather than focusing on fault, I help couples make meaning of what's happening between them.

Couples counselling is a space to slow down, hear one another more fully, and experiment with new ways of relating. I work relationally to support connection, differentation, and choice - whether are strengthening their bond or clarifying next steps. 

I also help individuals navigate family estrangement and complex relational trauma with an emphasis on safety, autonomy and informed choice. Supporting them to make thoughful decisions about contact and boundaries.

If you feel confused, guilty or relieved about creating distance from a family or a partner, you're not alone, - we can make sense of that together. I work relationally to help you understand what's happening between you and the people you care about, especially when staying connected no longer feels safe or possible.

Therapy can be a place to explore grief, anger, love and relief - all of which co-exist around estrangement.
