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. At YRCS we offer purposeful therapeutic relationships with clear direction.

 

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Colette brings depth and breadth of expertise across trauma, relational, and psychosexual work, alongside a genuine care for every relationship.


Working alongside Colette as Associate Clinical Lead is Dr Ariyana Reddy (DClinPsych), a Clinical Psychologist with experience across NHS and private mental health services.

 

Ariyana works with adults, children and young people, couples, and families across a wide range of difficulties. Alongside her clinical work, Ariyana provides supervision and consultancy to other practitioners.

 

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