Therapy and movement for whole-person healing

At Paddy Aerial Yoga, we offer a unique range of aerial yoga workshops designed to help you build strength, improve flexibility, and enjoy deep relaxation all while suspended in the air.

Counselling & Psychotherapy in Saltaire & Online

I believe we all hold the inner resources to grow and heal, sometimes we just need the right support. I provide that support by working alongside you with empathy, compassion, and respect. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or recovering from trauma or addiction, you don’t have to face it alone.

With years of experience in both the voluntary and private sectors across West Yorkshire, I specialise in trauma and addiction, but also support clients with a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns.

Therapy Options

In-person sessions in Saltaire, West Yorkshire (peaceful space with free parking and nearby transport links)
Online sessions via Zoom, WhatsApp, or FaceTime
Outdoor therapy also available
Session lengths: 50 mins (standard) or 90 mins (extended)
Free 15-minute phone consultation offered before your first appointment

The first session is a chance for us to meet, understand your reasons for seeking therapy, and see if we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure to share everything straight away, you’re in control. If we decide to work together, we’ll discuss your goals, session timing, and what to expect from the process.

Anxiety, stress & low mood
Trauma, abuse & PTSD
Addiction & self-destructive behaviours
Identity, sexuality & LGBTQ+ support
Bereavement & health-related issues
Low self-esteem & personal development
Work, relationships & life transitions

Reviews

Absolutely loved my first ever aerial yoga session today. I’ve practiced yoga for nearly 30 years, and love to challenge myself with something different. Paddy and Darren were very patient, supportive and encouraging and I can’t wait for the next workshop to build on what I’ve learned! 🙏🏼

Absolutely 5* for Paddy and Darran! Their amazing zoom yoga got me through lockdown 1, their caring approach on and off the mat helped me deal with my grief during that time too, and now I have the pleasure of joining them for aerial yoga and relaxation which is an utter delight!! Thank you.

Really enjoyed my first Sunday morning yoga session, easy to follow for a newbie, was worried about feeling like the odd one out but was really relaxed & welcoming, looking forward to next week 😊

Thank you so much for this afternoons session of Aerial Yoga. Your instruction & personalities made the class a wonderful experience. Can’t wait for pictures !

Loved it - I was nervous & unsure as wether I’d be able to do aerial yoga really enjoyed it looking forward to booking for the next class 👍

I Find Paddy is very helpful, supportive, understanding, caring and sympathetic. He is knowledgeable and professional.

Incredible experience. I love yoga but don’t have the best flexibility; aerial yoga allows you to trust the hammock and achieve more than you could have ever thought possible. Combines relaxation with a challenging-fun-workout. Can’t wait to go again.
