Rediscover your Authentic Self

Welcome

Indigo Thinking is a collective, made up of both qualified and advanced trainee counsellors who want to access peer support and guidance as they continue to develop their therapeutic skills and grow their individual practices. Our members practice in the following areas: Bridlington, Hebden Bridge, Kirkbymoorside, Livingston, Malton,  Northallerton, Saltburn by the Sea and Scarborough

Our members offer long or short-term, face-to-face or online psychotherapeutic counselling, and rates vary based on qualification status, with fully accredited members offering fellow counselling students discounted rates.

Indigo Thinking - Relational Psychotherapeutic Counselling
If you ignore your emotions, your body will start screaming to be heard

There is always the posibility for change and healing

Safty is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection

Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces
Men don’t have to stay strong or hide their feelings
Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us

We believe that true healing happens in connection

The Relational Approach

Indigo Thinking Counsellors

If you find yourself consistently repeating old arguments, struggling with a deep sense of loneliness, or carrying burdens from your past, those issues are often rooted in relationship patterns.

Relational psychotherapeutic counselling moves beyond a focus solely on individual symptoms. We actively use the safe, authentic relationship with your counsellor as a powerful space to explore these patterns, challenge old beliefs, and finally practice the trust and authentic connection you need to thrive, both in and out of the therapy room.
