Dialogues Counselling Service delivers accessible and affordable counselling to anyone seeking it. Our aim is to offer adults and young people (16-19) in West Yorkshire the opportunity to meet weekly with a therapist from as little as £15 per session.
Our aim is to make it is as easy and straightforward as we can when you reach out to us for support because we understand what it takes sometimes to make the leap. You can refer yourself today by email. Following that you’ll be invited in for a 30 minute assessment session where complete a couple for questionnaires and you get a sense of what it might be like to have counselling with us. From there you’ll hear from your therapist. Current wait time from first enquiry to first session is one working week.
Maybe you’re looking for a therapist because you have struggled with the same problem, off and on, for years. You kept hoping that it would just go away on its own, but it didn’t, and it continues to trouble you today. Perhaps a current situation in your life is bringing up old, unpleasant feelings, or frustrations–maybe even behaviours that concern you and you can’t figure out how to deal with them, and it’s negatively affecting both you and the people you care about. Maybe you’re experiencing something new and uncomfortable, and your old, reliable ways of coping aren’t working as well as they used to. It’s possible you’re here, reading this, feeling the struggle inside: On the one hand, there may be a feeling that it would be better to ‘leave things alone’ and just push through life pretending, just like you always have. That would be understandable.
On the other hand, there may be something inside that wants stability and containment; or, to heal those old, painful wounds; or, to just move beyond feeling ‘stuck’. It’s hard to feel ok in the world–or even in your own skin–with the emotional equivalent of a shard of glass in your foot.
You’re not alone. There is hope for positive change, even when it hasn’t happened in the past. Many people of all ages and backgrounds seek therapy to make some kind of change in their life. Although there is no true “normal” for everyone, if what’s happening for you just doesn’t feel right, then trust your gut and get the support you need.
We are dedicated to improving the emotional wellbeing of the Happy Valley community of Hebden Bridge and West Yorkshire.
