Psychotherapy & Counselling at York Clinic
Counselling and psychotherapy are commonly referred to as "talking cures". York Clinic has three experienced practitioners; David Britten, Judith Emmery and Brigitte Pepper.
Counselling and psychotherapy are commonly referred to as 'talking cures.' Both provide an opportunity for people to work with emotional problems in a safe and confidential setting, where they will be heard respectfully and without being judged.
There are some differing opinions among practitioners concerning
the causes of emotional distress, but broadly speaking all
psychotherapists and counsellors seek to help people to identify
the reasons for their current difficulties, and to consider what
they might like to change. As practitioners at the York Clinic we
differ in our approaches (see our individual entries for
more details), but share a common aim of helping people to gain a
sense of control over, and responsibility for, their lives. We will
always aim to create a respectful, caring relationship in which you
feel able to talk freely about your feelings, thoughts and
behaviours. Our emphasis on responsibility also means that we don't
regard counselling and psychotherapy as akin to medicine, or as
something that's 'done to' people, but as a collaborative venture
in which both parties are active participants.
