Elders (65+) Counselling in Chester

Sometimes 'stuff' happens and life gets complicated and challenging. These concerns can be recent, short-term, unanticipated or due to life experiences in the past. Such circumstances can prevent you from moving forward, remaining stuck in unhelpful patterns, and impact daily functioning. Seeking support takes a lot of courage but here you are stepping in the direction of healing. I would like to support you in this process of self-exploration and rebuilding trust. Compassion and gentle challenges within a safe, confidential and warm environment can be vital in bringing sustainable transformation- from surviving to thriving.

Welcome to you and thank you for reaching out. It is a brave step to seek support. I will work with you to create a safe space where you feel comfortable and supported. It takes courage to work on your lived experiences and first we'll create safety in the therapeutic relationship so you can explore what is troubling you. Maybe you do not have words for your experiences and would feel safer exploring with art materials before you are able to say what is on your mind. Art therapy is a container for previously unmanageable emotions and painful thoughts or experiences which are often stored in the body as tension, stress or overwhelm.

The issues that counsellors face are often complex and deeply personal. My experience of over 10 years in private practice and a third sector organisation has shown me the importance of each person deciding on their own needs and finding their own way through the issues they bring.

Hello, I have been practising counselling and psychotherapy in North Wales and West Cheshire for twelve years.

In Life certainly in the present days. We are bombarded with directions and advice as to how we should live our lives and this can be very confusing. Issues that we all have instead of being opened up and discussed are simply painted over emotionally to fit in with the expectations of modern living.

Are you feeling stuck? The only constant is change, yet sometimes change seems so difficult. I will work with you to find what's blocking you changing into who you really are. I won't diagnose or label you. I'll treat you as an individual who has their own unique history. Unpleasant symptoms like anxiety, addictions, phobias and depression are often rooted in early trauma which is surfacing to be healed. I'll help you reprocess any traumatic memories as well as looking at any current circumstances which are keeping you stuck.
