Hi, I’m Ginny (she/her).

Before counselling training, I worked as a languages teacher in primary and secondary schools across Calderdale and then in children’s safeguarding.

My first introduction to the world of counselling was as a client myself. I know from experience that being vulnerable and opening yourself up to somebody can be scary, but the better I understand you the better our work will likely be.

My role in making this vulnerability less scary is building a space with you where you feel heard, validated and safe to be vulnerable, knowing that your emotions and perspectives will be met without judgement because you do not need to change to be valued and respected.

In addition to my private practice work, I volunteer at a low-cost counselling service in Keighley and have previously worked in educational counselling settings.

When not working I spend my time outdoors, walking or foraging, and also enjoy pottery, cooking and dancing.
