Counselling in Bamber Bridge

I specialise in bereavement, grief, loss and life losses. I can offer you a safe space to talk about your loss and the feelings you are experiencing. Grief can feel like a very lonely place, and it is often difficult to talk to family and friends, but the need to talk over and make sense of your emotions is very important in the grieving process. I can work with you to explain how the process of grief works and how you will be affected. I cannot solve your problems for you as you will understand, but I can offer you the time to talk about how your bereavement is affecting you and we can find some coping strategies to help you.

I am an experienced integrative Psychotherapist working face to face and online. I have experience helping couples and individuals with Relationship support, whether that is support following an affair, help with communication or arguments or wider family situations.

Talking to a professionally trained & experienced counsellor or therapist really does allow you to explore these difficult areas and, together, draw up a workable action plan.

My experience as a Clinical Psychologist has helped me recognise the importance of self-esteem, which is at the core of a lot of mental health struggles (such as low mood and anxiety). I've witnessed how self-esteem serves as a foundation for emotional well-being, affecting how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. It's not just a mere concept; it's a fundamental building block for mental health and resilience. In my practice, I'm committed to helping individuals strengthen their self-esteem, empowering them to face life's challenges with greater confidence and overall mental well-being

Hello & warm welcome.

Are you looking for a therapist who has been in your shoes? Someone who has felt the pain and anguish of addiction? Someone who won't judge and has the tools to help you recover from your own alcohol, drug, gambling or sex/porn addiction? Someone, who has a proven track record of helping people overcome their addictions and lead a life of purpose and happiness?

Sometimes things can become a little too much, maybe a little overwhelming and we need to talk and have someone to listen to us. A safe space just to be heard and be ourselves. As a person-centred, experiential therapist I can offer you that time and space, affordability and easily accessible counselling in the heart of Preston at a time to suit you. As a member of the BACP and adhering to their ethical guidelines, there is nothing too big or too small to bring to counselling. You are not alone and I'm here for you. I am also an accredited Rewind Therapist providing closure without disclosure for trauma, PTSD and phobias.

Much of my experience working with individuals clinically is within settings that support people with dual diagnoses, which means I have experience working with lots of difficulties. I find it more helpful for us to explore your needs, difficulties and goals to create a space which is meaningful to you rather than focusing on diagnoses and clinical language. If you are considering therapy due to trauma, I will focus initially on helping you develop the skills and insight needed for you to feel safe both within the therapy sessions and within your day to day life. I will adapt the therapy approach and pace to fit your needs.
