About me

About me and my therapy practice

I specialise in Person Centred Counselling, which is fundamentally about helping you to understand yourself and any difficulties you may have dealt with in the past, or any anxiety you have now. In your counselling sessions, I will focus on helping you feel empowered by building your resilience and self-esteem so that you can make better choices and guard against stresses in your life.

You may have reached a crossroads in your life - we all do at some point - or you may have difficulty knowing which way to turn or how to cope. I can help you face your challenges, no matter what they are, being empathetic to your needs.

With counselling, your difficult and challenging emotions can be the very catalyst in bringing about greater self-awareness and personal enlightenment leading to increased wellbeing, so it's a very positive step to take if you feel it's right for you.

If you are going through grief and have experienced a loss, I can help you find ways to cope. Loss can affect you throughout your life, whether that means relationship issues, such as separation or divorce, bereavement, employment, and financial worries. Whatever the cause, the pain can be hard to deal with, and it can be completely overwhelming and debilitating. Anxiety arising from unresolved loss can be felt many years after so it may be the right time for you to talk about how to move forward in your life.

You may also be experiencing intense feelings of loss and unease if you are suffering from low self-esteem or sense of identity loss. This can have a profound effect on you, but I can work with you to improve your self-esteem and sense of self.

My experience of work in bereavement includes sudden death, complicated grief and prolonged grief disorder (PGD).

As a Counsellor, I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental, warm, relaxing and empathetic environment in which you can explore your personal issues. The key to my work is empathy, experience, and progress. I will provide you with complete confidentiality and respect for you as a person.

My services are provided through face to face and telephone with consultations being available in and around Ormskirk, Tarleton, Southport, Preston, Lancashire and Liverpool.

I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor working from a base model of Person Centred Counselling. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and as such, I am bound by their Code of Ethics and Practice and hold a current Enhanced DBS (Certificate number 001532052089).

Please feel free to call me to book a Counselling session or to talk about how I can help you.

Take care.
