Phoebe Howitt Counselling

Hello! I’m Phoebe, a counsellor based in York, North Yorkshire and online throughout the UK. I offer short and long term therapy for ages 18+ via telephone, video call and face to face at Regus, Tower Court – York. My working days are Thursday – Sunday.

There are some areas of interest where I have completed additional training and feel competent & passionate in exploring. These are client’s who are living with ADHD and/or autism, I welcome clients who are formally or self diagnosed. Individuals living with OCD and its manifestations. And, clients who have experienced trauma including childhood, bereavement and abuse.

Ways in which I work are…
– person centered, which is an important part of how I work, you are in the “driving seat”, choosing what you’d like to bring & how you wish to explore situations.
– Solution focused therapy, where we can set weekly/monthly goals that you’d like to achieve and work towards, this can help in breaking routines and work towards a positive mindset.
– CBT, setting tasks & worksheets that may help you to identify patterns & challenges that we
can then work through in our sessions.
– I also bring in psychoeducation, learning about the mechanisms, how our brain has wired to these events including attachment & trauma responses. These are a few different ways of working that might work for you!

I’m an integrative therapist which means I don’t think there is one approach that can help clients in all situations. Instead, I look at you as an individual, looking at your environment, who and what’s around you, and tailor an approach which would be beneficial to you. This is achieved by having an open dialogue whilst working together of what you feel is working and what could be amended. I believe this approach makes counselling more accessible, accommodating for diversity, and not a “one size fits all” approach.
