Spirituality Counselling in Chorley

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. My training is 'Integrative’ which means that I work with distress, trauma, and all of life's difficulties in a way which seeks to create,or recreate, a sense of wholeness and relationship. I want to work with you in partnership, seeking to understand together what’s troubling you, and where things might have got stuck. We will talk about the past, as all therapists do, but I also want to help you think about what is going on for you now. The things which have brought you to therapy.

As a mental health professional, I am passionate about providing effective and compassionate care to individuals struggling with trauma and related disorders. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the impact that trauma can have on an individual's well-being, functioning and personality. I have vast experience in mental health and have worked with individuals who have complex trauma along and mental health difficulties. As a qualified mental health clinical lead nurse working in forensic settings I have gained a good understanding on how trauma along with other mental health difficulties can effect an individual in many ways.

I offer talking therapy in a confidential, safe and relaxing environment. It may be easier to talk about personal issues, in an alternative place, with someone who is not involved and is totally non-judgemental. Counselling is my passion! I believe we were born to be real...not perfect. My belief in the process, how it works and in particular how the working alliance can help you to move forward never stops.

Have you ever felt so incredibly overwhelmed by life, like things are just too hard, that you can’t make sense of anything? Do you feel alone, invisible and unwanted most of the time? Are you struggling to find the true you? Our pathways in life often become muddled due to circumstances outside our control. This leads to a disconnection with who we really are, leaving us feeling lost, directionless and unable to trust ourselves. Counselling helps us to make sense of our struggles and reengage with who we really are and have always been.

I am a caring, compassionate individual that has a natural empathy towards others. I aim to provide a safe space that will enable you to explore your current situation without fear of being judged. I will walk with you whilst you explore any challenges, emotions and feelings that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. At times, we all need a helping hand or somebody to shine a torch through the darkness. Reaching out for support is not a sign of weakness, it takes strength and courage. I have experienced the benefits of counselling myself and feel humbled to be in a position to offer the same support to others.
