Adults Counselling in CH5

At any stage in our lives, relationships and events can leave us with deep hurt and confusion that needs professional help. Counselling can give hope and help untangle confusing thoughts and emotions to understand our true selves and our relationships better, leading to a happier life. Experiencing a therapeutic relationship where you are genuinely valued, understood and accepted without judgement, can be in itself healing. As a person-centred creative counsellor, I see the client and therapist as equals. I provide you with a safe, confidential space to explore the issues that you bring.These sessions are yours, to use as you wish.

Finding a counsellor can feel a daunting prospect, especially when feeling at your lowest ebb, navigating life's challenges, difficulties and the painful emotions these can bring. As an integrative therapist I will adapt my therapeutic approach to best suit your needs. I can offer you a safe space to explore these emotions and situations causing you most distress. In developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore what is impacting your wellbeing most, identify changes you wish to make and set realistic and achievable goals to work towards healing and growth, leaving you feeling empowered, stronger and more confident.

If something is affecting your wellbeing or ability to enjoy life as you would like, or you feel stuck or overwhelmed by thoughts or emotions, counselling can help you to feel more able to cope and move forward. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling to come to terms with a loss or unplanned situation, having difficulties with self-esteem, stress or anger, or perhaps you're at a crossroads which feels overwhelming. I provide a safe, confidential space for you to talk about the things that are causing you difficulties and will support you to work through the impact they are having, and to find a way forward.

I am a qualified, experienced and.. very human.. therapeutic counsellor registered with the BACP, BPS and NCS. I work with individuals, couples and families online and face to face through my private practice Counselling Choices. I am also a qualified supervisor for other counsellors.

I'm a Psychotherapist at Lemons to Lemonade, an independent pyschotherapy, clinical psychology, and coaching practice based at Broughton Retail Park near Chester, run by partners Dr. Rachel Skippon, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, and myself Dr. Stephen Skippon. I offer psychological therapy to help people deal with a wide range of emotional difficulties including depression, anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, panic, panic disorder, stress, low self-esteem, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, problems at work, bereavement, and other forms of loss. I provide specialist therapy for people who have difficulty sleeping.

When you feel the need to speak to someone, you want someone who can really understand you and what you going through, someone you can relate to. The relationship is what matters most, you want someone you can find it easier to trust and makes you feel like they can understand you. Working with all age group has given me opportunity to relate to people in so many level, no matter what their going through. Growing up with my great gran, has given me wisdom and insight that I need to top up what I've learn about working with people. Adapting different cultures, environment, learning from people I meet each day, it'll be my honour.
