Clients needs differ, I offer a place where each individual can explore their issues in a calm, safe environment. A place to talk about their everyday challenges and past experiences and look at what their hopes and goals for the future might be.

I adapt each counselling session to fit clients individual specific needs to enable the best possible outcome. Clients 'needs' are always priority and their confidentiality is always respected, creating a safe place to be themselves, and express themselves freely. Individuals can feel isolated and alone with their darkness, therefore I offer affordable sessions to help access private counselling to get the support that's needed. Feeling supported can remove the heaviness and gives hope. My clients matter - my clients deserve that opportunity to grow to become the person they want to be.

I offer warm, respectful, non-judgemental space in which you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, develop a greater understanding of yourself and start to move towards personal growth and an increased sense of well-being. ​ I am a qualified BACP and BABCP, and work to a strict code of ethics. I believe you deserve to be happy and fulfilled in your life and that you have the ability to make that happen. Life can be challenging and difficult and i am trained to help you through your troubles and to support you making changes in you life.

SR Counselling offers counselling to children and adults in a safe, supportive, non-judgemental and confidential environment. I offer a place where you have the time to discuss any issues, from day to day concerns, anxiety and depression, bereavement, relationship breakdown, low self worth and confidence.

I offer both short and long term (6-12 sessions) counselling and am based in Chorley, Lancashire.

I am a Person Centred Counsellor, EMDR therapist and Couples Counsellor. I work with children, young people, adults and couples in a relational way, supporting them to work through difficulties ranging from stress, depression and anxiety to more complex trauma. The principles of Person Centred therapy guide me in working with empathy and compassion to support clients in processing their experiences and finding ways of managing difficult and overwhelming feelings.

Often clients contact me when other therapy has not helped them in the way they had hoped. This is often due to the complexity of difficulties being layered in a history of trauma. Distress in the body and mind can be triggered by what appears to be something superficial. This can open up the past or come at a time when our emotional resilience is low so this event has a greater impact than it may have done. We can find ourselves not being able to function in our normal way. Many clients identify as 'good copers' and those who 'just get on with it'. Perhaps we can't now - this is frightening and can derail us.

Are you are finding yourself unable to cope or manage with everyday situations and finding life a struggle? Are you feeling overwhelmed but unsure of how to deal with these thoughts or feelings? Life is sometimes difficult where the past and present issues can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, confused, depressed or detached from your feelings? Talking to someone about your struggles can help. I am fully aware that this may take a great deal of courage to open up and share your experiences to someone - I know because I have been there too. I would like to help and support you through this difficult time.

Counselling is a time for you to explore whatever it is that is affecting your life right now, whether you have suffered a loss, are having relationship difficulties or life is just difficult at the moment. It is a time to express how you feel without being judged or given advise. It can be nerve-wracking making that initial contact for counselling, whether you've thought about doing it for a long time or not. I hope to put you at ease from our first contact and create an environment which feels safe. I hope that through counselling you will feel understood and can perhaps resolve some issues you are currently facing.

There are times when you need a safe, non-judgemental space to work through the feelings and thoughts that are troubling or distressing you, or just to try to figure out who you are. Through my counselling experience, I can provide you with that space. I'll work with you in a Person-Centred way, a form of counselling which promotes self-acceptance, self-esteem and self-discovery.

As my client I will work alongside you in a caring and non-judgemental way. I will strive to understand and make you feel less alone in what you facing. To reveal yourself openly and honestly takes the rawest kind of courage and I will respect with confidence what I am told. I have a lot of experience in working with anxiety, depression, trauma and bereavement, both with adults and adolescents. I am also a Clinical Supervisor which means I supervise the work of other counsellors.

I am a passionate and dedicated Psychosexual Therapist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Therapist. I provide mainstream CBT intervention or more specialised psychosexual work with individuals and couples.

My specialised training allows me to use a dynamic approach that motivates individuals to self empowerment. I am also a qualified and experienced supervisor for other therapists and health professionals.

Identifying how or what we are feeling, or why we feel a certain way can be challenging and there are times when we know exactly what the issues are, although knowing where to start in resolving some of those issues can prove difficult and overwhelming. Counselling is an opportunity for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, gaining a better understanding of yourself and your experiences. Counselling can also provide you with the opportunity to find the tools and strategies to better manage, cope and self sooth from life’s difficulties; facilitating self discovery, self care and positive wellbeing.
