Services

At Mind Matters Counselling Pontefract, we understand that everyone’s needs and preferences are different. That’s why we offer a variety of ways to access counselling, each designed to provide a safe, confidential, and supportive experience. This includes in-person, virtual (online) and telephone counselling. 

Please note, we currently only offer counselling sessions on an individual basis. If you are looking for couples or group counselling, you can search for other counsellors and services. We will be offering couples counselling from late 2025.

We offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet your unique needs. Below is an overview of the two primary methods we use:

• Person-centred counselling, also known as client-centred counselling, is a humanistic approach that focuses on how you perceive yourself and your experiences. Rather than interpreting unconscious thoughts or behaviours, this approach encourages you to explore your feelings and gain deeper self-awareness. This empowering therapy allows you to lead the process, with the counsellor offering a non-judgmental, empathetic space for you to reflect and grow.

• Integrative counselling combining various therapeutic techniques and approaches to meet your individual needs. This method is flexible, drawing from different schools of thought and tools to tailor the therapy to best suit your journey. Whether it’s incorporating cognitive, emotional, or behavioural strategies, integrative therapy adapts to you, providing a holistic approach to healing.
