When you're constantly holding everything together, it can be exhausting. Anxiety can leave you feeling on edge, ADHD can make daily life feel harder than it should, past trauma may influence the present, and experiences of loneliness or grief can leave you feeling isolated. Counselling provides a calm, compassionate space where you can slow down, feel understood, and find a way forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Who I Support
I work with adults across Ormskirk/Aughton, Burscough, Liverpool/Waterloo (L22) and nearby areas who are looking for gentle, effective therapy to help them understand what’s happening inside and find steadier ways to cope. Many people reach out when they’re experiencing:

• anxiety that feels constant, exhausting or difficult to manage
• ADHD‑related overwhelm, emotional intensity or difficulty staying organised
• loneliness, feeling unseen or disconnected
• trauma, whether past or recent, affecting daily life or relationships
• bereavement and grief, including long‑term or complicated grief
• family or caring roles that feel heavy, draining or hard to navigate
• low confidence, self‑doubt or feeling “not enough”
• feeling stuck, burnt out or unsure how to move forward
  You may be carrying a lot on your own, noticing patterns you can’t shift, or feeling disconnected from yourself. These are often the moments people begin searching for counselling in Ormskirk/Aughton, Liverpool/ Waterloo — a safe place to talk, feel understood and begin to make sense of things.

How Counselling Helps
Therapy offers a calm pause in the middle of everything you’re holding. A space to slow down, breathe and explore what’s going on inside without judgement or pressure. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear explanation — we begin wherever you are.

I work gently and collaboratively, supporting adults who want to:

• understand their anxiety, emotions or triggers
• manage ADHD‑related challenges more confidently
• heal from trauma or difficult past experiences
• navigate grief, loss or major life changes
• improve relationships or family dynamics
• rebuild confidence and reconnect with themselves

Where I Work
I offer counselling for adults in:

Ormskirk/Aughton/Burscough
Liverpool/Waterloo (L22)
and surrounding areas across Sefton and West Lancashire
Sessions are available in person and online across the UK, giving you flexibility to choose what feels most comfortable.

What You Can Expect
Over time, counselling can help you feel:

• more centred and grounded
• clearer about your emotions and needs
• more connected to yourself
• more confident in making choices that feel right for you               
•  Whether you’re navigating grief, managing ADHD, healing from trauma or rebuilding confidence, therapy can help you feel steadier and more like yourself again.

If you recognise yourself in any of this, you’re welcome to reach out whenever you feel ready.

 Bereavement

Alongside the complexities of life that clients often bring, I support adults who are experiencing bereavement, I have spent several years supporting people through grief and loss in all its forms, including working with Cruse Bereavement Support. This experience gives me a deep, compassionate understanding of how varied and personal grief can be - and how important it is to have a gentle, safe space to talk about it. For many people who are experiencing a loss that has already happened, one that is unfolding, or one that you sense is approaching. Grief can touch every part of life, often in ways that feel tender, disorienting, or difficult to put into words. Whatever your experience looks like, you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

You may be navigating:

• grief that began long before the loss itself
• a sudden or traumatic loss that has shaken your world
• experiencing separation anxiety 
• feelings that come in waves or don’t seem to follow any clear pattern
• a loss that feels private, misunderstood, or difficult to put into words

Grief can touch every part of your life - your sense of who you are, your relationships, your routines, even your ability to feel grounded or safe. There is no “right” way to grieve, and no timeline you’re expected to follow.

In our work together, you’ll find a calm, compassionate space where your grief can be spoken about at your own pace. You won’t be rushed or judged. Instead, you’ll be supported to explore what this loss means for you, how it’s affecting you, and what you might need as you move forward.

Working With Carers
For several years, I’ve supported people in caring roles - those who give so much of themselves to look after someone they love. Caring can be meaningful and deeply human, but it can also be exhausting, lonely, and quietly overwhelming. Many carers find that, over time, their own needs slip into the background, and it becomes harder to recognise who they are outside of the caring role.
You may be noticing:

• growing anxiety or a constant sense of being “on alert”
• low self‑esteem or feeling as though you’re never doing enough
• a loss of identity, or a sense that you’ve disappeared into the role
• guilt for wanting space, rest, or support
• grief for the life you once had, or the one you hoped for

These feelings are far more common than people realise, and they deserve space, understanding, and care.

In our work together, you’ll find a gentle, safe place where you can talk openly about the emotional weight of caring - without judgement, pressure, or expectation. We can explore what you’ve been carrying, how it has shaped you, and what you might need to feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself again.

Online and Telephone Counselling
There are moments when reaching out for support feels important, yet getting to a therapy room simply isn’t possible. Life, health, caring responsibilities, or distance can all make in‑person sessions difficult.

To help you still access the steadiness and warmth you need, I offer counselling online or by telephone. These options create a flexible, private space where you can talk openly from wherever you feel most comfortable-whether that’s your home, your car during a quiet moment, or a place that feels safe to you.

At its heart, my approach is a calm, supportive space where you’re met with care, understanding, and the room to breathe and be yourself.

My Approach

My approach is calm, steady, and centred around you. I bring together different therapeutic approaches, but what matters most is that our work feels safe, gentle, and supportive for you.
I draw from:

• Person‑centred therapy - offering warmth, empathy, and a space where you can simply be yourself
• CBT - gently noticing patterns in your thoughts and behaviours, without pressure or judgement
• Schema‑informed work - exploring deeper emotional themes and unmet needs that may be shaping how you feel today

We move at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may feel spacious and reflective, giving you room to breathe and explore. Others may offer a little more structure or grounding if that feels helpful. There’s no rush and no expectation - just a steady, supportive space where you can bring whatever feels important.

The relationship we build together is at the heart of the work. My hope is that you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to stay curious, and gently held as you explore the parts of yourself that may have been waiting quietly to be heard.

What to Expect
Your first session is simply a gentle beginning. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. We’ll talk about what’s brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and how we might work together in a way that feels safe and supportive.

Over time, therapy can help you:

• feel less overwhelmed and more grounded
• understand yourself with greater compassion
• untangle patterns that keep you stuck
• reconnect with your needs, values, and sense of self
• move toward changes that feel gentle and possible

My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, supported, and able to breathe a little more easily - a place where you don’t have to hold everything on your own.
