Counselling theory & skills, course material, self-reflection, ethics & values from a Christian perspective & more

A warm welcome to our new staff member, Hannah Racher. We are delighted she has joined the team as our new office manager. She is replacing Jo who recently retired.

Learn more about Hannah in her own words...  "Hi, my name’s Hannah. I initially came to York as a student studying for a history degree as a 19 year old. I moved away to Manchester to study Speech and Language Therapy and on completion was very happy to be offered a job back in York! I’ve lived here with my husband Steve ever since. We have 2 children; Peter is 8 and Lucy is 4. It’s great to be working at Reflect and lovely to be based at the church we attend and to see people that we know well, when I’m in the office."

Welcome Hannah!

Our lovely Office Manager Jo, retired this month. Jo has been working for Reflect for 4 years and is now retiring for some well-earned rest and new adventures.

Jo, we thank you for all your support and hard work over the years and the gentle kindness you bring to all you do. We will miss you and pray every blessing on your future!
