About me and my therapy practice

I have worked with children for over 30 years in a wide range of settings initially as a primary school teacher and for the last 6 years as a counsellor. I am a person centered , integrative counsellor who specialises in working with children and young adults. 

I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a  Post Graduate Certificate in Counselling with Children and Adults level 4 and 5.

My humanistic approach to therapy is also informed by attachment theory, self compassion and mindfulness. I am currently working as a school councillor in a local primary school .I also have a private practice called Duncan Slater Counselling, in Ilkley.

I can help children young adults  make sense of their feelings, thoughts and behaviours and support them as they navigate relationships with friends and family, and deal with pressures at school and socially. Being able to talk in a safe environment with clear boundaries gives them the opportunity to express difficult or confused feelings.

Practice description

Counselling sessions are offered in my counselling space or online via zoom. If you prefer the outdoors we can do a walk and talk session. I also offer talking therapy and play/art therapy.  I suggest we try a minimum of 3 weekly sessions to begin with and then we can review how it has gone.Sessions will normally be  50 minutes long.I will offer a welcoming, confidential safe space where  you will be listened to without judgement and we can gently explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits you.

My first session

I offer a first free 30 minute session to help you me decide how I could best help and give you the chance to decide if this is a good fit. This session will be an informal chat and completely confidential so you will be under no obligation to commit.
