About Greg Curtis | Counsellor, Therapist & Coach, Skipton

Meet Greg

I’ve always had a natural interest in people, how they think, how they respond and what shapes the way they experience life. Over the years, my experiences, relationships, personal challenges, family life and ongoing self-development have all influenced the way I see the world and shaped the person I am today.

Like most people, my upbringing and life experiences were far from perfect, and I think that honesty matters. I know what it feels like to carry emotional weight, unanswered questions and personal struggles internally whilst appearing capable and unaffected externally.

Today, people often describe me as calm, grounded and easy to talk to, whilst also honest and direct when needed. I care deeply about people feeling accepted for who they are without feeling they need to hide parts of themselves or have everything figured out. Looking back, I can see how my own experiences shaped not only the person I have become, but also the way I understand, support and connect with people today.

“Over time I stopped trying to be someone else and became far more comfortable being myself.”

My Journey

I went into business at a young age and for many years life became focused around achievement, responsibility, pressure and constantly pushing forward. Success often felt linked to doing more, achieving more and always striving for what came next without fully realising what it was costing me internally. Much of my identity became tied to what I achieved rather than who I was.

The recession, moving abroad and stepping away from the life I had built completely shifted my perspective. For the first time in years, life slowed down and I began seeing things differently. It felt like I had finally taken the blinkers off and started questioning assumptions I had carried for much of my adult life.

That period became the beginning of a much deeper journey into self-development, self-awareness and understanding both myself and other people on a far deeper level. What started as personal growth eventually changed the direction of my life completely.

“Sometime losing the life you thought you wanted becomes the beginning of finding the life that truly fits you.”

THE VALUES BEHIND OUR WORK

FIND YOUR VALUES

WHY I DO THIS

I know what it feels like to lose yourself, wear masks, and feel disconnected from who you really are underneath. I also know how life-changing it can be when somebody begins seeing themselves differently and reconnecting with parts of themselves they thought had been lost along the way.

That is why this work matters so deeply to me.

Many people spend years surviving rather than truly living. They carry emotional weight, self-doubt, and private struggles whilst appearing capable on the outside. Real change begins when somebody becomes more aware of what has been shaping them beneath the surface and they do not have to keep repeating the same patterns forever.

“Often the greatest freedom comes from no longer pretending to be somebody you’re not.”

What Drives Me

HOW I HELP PEOPLE

A large part of the work I do is helping people understand themselves more clearly and recognise what has been shaping their thoughts, behaviours, emotions and reactions beneath the surface. Real change often begins when somebody starts seeing themselves, their patterns, and their life from a different perspective.

Many people spend years functioning on autopilot without fully realising how much old beliefs, emotional conditioning, pressure and past experiences influence the way they experience life. What feels normal often goes unquestioned until somebody pauses long enough to look at it differently.

Through greater awareness, honest reflection, meaningful conversations and practical tools, people often begin seeing themselves and their lives in a new way. Clarity improves, confidence grows and life can begin feeling calmer, lighter and more aligned with who you truly are underneath it all.

“Sometimes the greatest shift is realising you no longer have to keep living the same way you always have.”
