Brighter Days offers a space and time for you to grow and heal
Hi I am Valerie the creator of ‘Brighter Days VC Counselling and Wellness.’ I am an accredited, member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and I use an Integrative approach with a Person-Centred focus.
I work with individual adults, on a short term or long term basis. I work online or by telephone, whichever works best for you, and can reach anywhere in the UK, including but not limited to the areas of Keighley, Bingley, Bradford, Leeds and Skipton. I can help with a range of challenges you may be facing, including anxiety, trauma, identity, grief, loss, stress or depression.
Begin your journey towards hope and inner peace . . .
Counselling/Psychotherapy gives you the space and time to focus on you. It will be important for us to find out together what your needs are, and where to begin, so you can learn to manage your emotions. Reaching out may be daunting, but it is your first brave step towards making sense of your feelings, and finding ways to move forward in your life.
How can counselling and psychotherapy help?
Counselling and psychotherapy provides you with a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to express yourself freely. I am here to listen intently, and offer you my utmost compassion and empathy.
Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and fulfilling your potential. I can help you find ways and strategies to manage your emotions, and deal with any challenges that come your way. Please know that I am not here to "fix" you, but to offer you support and fresh perspectives, so that you can better understand yourself and the challenges you are facing.
By working together, we can help you gain self-awareness and discover the answers that lie within you. You are not alone in this journey, and I am here to help you every step of the way.
