Anthea Malik

I currently have some face-to-face sessions available on Wednesdays.

Using a creative and compassionate approach, we will work together to gently explore and process your unique experiences and challenges, for healing and growth.

I believe creativity can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and emotional well-being and that every person has the innate capacity for healing and growth.

My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity and compassion, to support you in making sense of your unique experiences and inner world. I offer an inclusive, safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations.

I bring a creative perspective to our work together, drawing on a wide range of therapeutic creative and art activities and other experiential techniques eg. image cards, collage, visualisation, to help you connect with your authentic self to explore the challenges which brought you here.

Further to my professional qualifications including a PG Diploma, I am trauma certified and integrate talking therapy with Compassion Focussed Therapy, CBT techniques, Transactional Analysis approaches and Attachment awareness, uniquely to suit your needs and goals.

From both training and lived experience I can support you with a wide range of issues including bereavement, loss, trauma, identity, neurodiversity, hidden disability, chronic illness, women’s issues including menopause, parenting, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, childhood issues, attachment issues and more.

I have a lovely, comfortable therapy studio room in a calm, discreet, beautiful building in Harrogate for our face-to-face sessions. There is also a spacious café and lounge area you can use to prepare for our sessions or take time to reflect afterwards.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will honour your individuality and help you explore ways to integrate creativity into your personal or professional growth, please contact me for a free initial getting to know each other chat.
