SPERO

             A Latin verb meaning hope.

           Spero ut pacem habeant semper.

              I hope that they may always have peace.

SPERO Counsellors Maggie Buckley and Simon Oldroyd work together to offer bespoke services.

Please contact Maggie for enquiries about any current opportunities.

We each work independently and have separate counselling and supervision rooms in the  Harrogate-Knaresborough area.

We come together when the work requires our collaboration, such as for bespoke group sessions, for organisations such as schools, businesses and any uniformed or care service.

SPERO

             Bespoke flexibility to appropriately respond to what is needed.

ORGANISATIONS – utilising psychologically informed awareness to facilitate the development of here and now best practice for staff and management.

SCHOOLS – supporting students, families and staff through life’s current challenges with considered and bespoke focus.

MINDFULNESS – learning to balance thinking and sensing with an aim to spend more time in the present moment and living a more fulfilling life where stress and anxiety can be reduced.

COUNSELLING- a safe and ‘outside’ space to personally reflect, grow understandings and enact healthy change based on your own reasoned choices and capacities.

SUPERVISION – providing regular sessions in a safe environment to speak truth, process events, learn coping strategies and new best practice, feel supported, explore self-care and check out function and functioning.

CARING PROFESSIONS and CHARITIES – assisting those who help others and the recipients of their care, in psychologically informed, ethical ways.
