Duncan Slater

I am currently available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

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 8 years as a counsellor. I am a person centered , integrative counsellor who specialises in working with pre teens,  young people and adults. 

I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy  ( Adult) and a  Post Graduate Certificate in Counselling with Children and young people 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 counsellor in a local primary school  .I also have a private practice in Ilkley.

I can help pre teens, young people and adults make sense of their feelings, thoughts and behaviors and support them as they navigate relationships with friends and family. Together we can also explore and gain a greater understanding of difficult emotions. We will be able to talk in a safe, accepting environment without judgment. 

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 creative therapy. I offer a free introductory consultation. 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.

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.
