WELCOME

YouR Changing Self — YRCS — is a private Psychotherapy practice based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, offering individual therapy, couples therapy, and specialist services in person and online.

 

Founded and led by Colette Safhill, YRCS is built on a simple belief: that therapy works best when it has structure, direction, and a clear sense of where it's going. Rather than open-ended sessions with no defined endpoint, we offer purposeful therapeutic relationships with clear direction.

 

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Colette brings depth and breadth of  expertise as well as a genuine care to every relationship.

 

Whatever has brought you here, you'll be met with care, curiosity, and complete confidentiality.

Our Services

We offer a selection of services for Individuals,  Couples, Groups and organisations. We also offer training & workshops, public speaking and bespoke services for individuals or organisations requiring additional levels of discretion & flexibility. 

 

Please note : Out of hours and weekend sessions may be available on request and attract a 20% surcharge.
