I offer face-to-face sessions in Bolton, as well as online or by phone across the UK.
You may look like you are coping to others, but inside, it feels relentless. Perhaps you have always been the strong one, keeping things together for everyone else, yet now life events, grief, or exhaustion have left you struggling. Sleepless nights, “what if” worries, guilt, and self-criticism can feel overwhelming. Many people I support in counselling describe wanting a calm space to breathe, to be understood without judgement, and to make sense of what is happening. Their goal is not perfection, but to feel calmer, more grounded, and more like themselves again.

Our sessions are in-person and last 60 minutes.
I work with young people, adults, and families who struggle with feelings of anxiety, stress, and low mood, worthlessness, and self-doubt. Perhaps you are an obsessive overthinker, struggling with OCD, or set excessively high standards/feel exhausted, and or are self-critical. We can work on techniques to relearn a more helpful and constructive view. How you talk to yourself matters. If your voice is unkind, it undermines your self-worth. What is important when dealing with stress or self criticism is to reframe our mindset towards it, but more crucial, to recover from it so that we don’t linger in this state.
