Katy Bellak
Welcome
I am a qualified integrative counsellor offering a compassionate, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore whatever may be affecting your mental health and wellbeing.
Finding the right therapist is an important first step. I aim to build a trusting relationship where you can feel comfortable being open and heard without fear of judgement. Therapy can provide an opportunity to reconnect with what really matters to you, understand yourself more deeply and consider new ways of moving forward.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, emotional or relationship difficulties, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or simply wanting to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a steady and compassionate space in which we can work together at your own pace.
My practice is trauma-informed, with your emotional safety and wellbeing at the heart of our work. I take a thoughtful, down-to-earth approach, drawing on a range of therapeutic perspectives including humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. Our work will be shaped around you, allowing us to explore present-day challenges, recognise patterns, develop coping strategies and create meaningful change.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am committed to maintaining high professional and ethical standards in my practice.
I work with adults of all ages, as well as with teenagers aged 13 and above. I have many years’ experience working within charitable organisations and mental health services, supporting adults and young people through adolescence, relationships and significant life transitions.
I work with a range of concerns, including:
* Anxiety and depression
* Stress and overwhelm
* Relationship difficulties
* Trauma
* Low self-esteem and self-worth
* Imposter syndrome
* Grief, loss and life transitions
* Neurodiversity, including ADHD
* Emotional and personality-related difficulties, including BPD
If this approach feels right for you then do get in touch at katybellakcounselling@gmail.com. All enquiries are treated with care and confidentiality and I will respond as soon as I am available.
