Counselling in Ellesmere Port

Psychotherapy literally means to nurse the soul deriving its name from the ancient Greeks understanding of human nature and the psyche. Psychotherapy occurs when a therapist meets with a client in a private and confidential setting to explore any difficulties the client is having or the distress he or she may be experiencing, a general dissatisfaction with life where an explanation is not readily known, a loss of a sense of direction or purpose. It is a common misconception that only individuals who experience mental health problems require psychotherapy. In fact Psychotherapy is of great value to anyone.

Are you feeling the impact of life's difficult issues right now? Struggles with finances, work, relationships etc can intensify previous issues, or cause new issues that have a real effect on us every day; anxiety, depression, low motivation, low self esteem, insecurity, loneliness, grief, confusion, abuse, burn-out, overwhelm, it is not easy and yet completely normal to be feeling that way given life's challenges. Its often a relief just to talk and offload about what is happening. I offer a safe non-judgemental space that is uniquely yours to do just that and to help you figure out what's best for you moving forwards.

Finding a counsellor can feel a daunting prospect, especially when feeling at your lowest ebb, navigating life's challenges, difficulties and the painful emotions these can bring. As an integrative therapist I will adapt my therapeutic approach to best suit your needs. I can offer you a safe space to explore these emotions and situations causing you most distress. In developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore what is impacting your wellbeing most, identify changes you wish to make and set realistic and achievable goals to work towards healing and growth, leaving you feeling empowered, stronger and more confident.

I work with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, self harm, anger, bullying, self esteem, and more. If you need to find some space to talk to someone about your situation please contact me and I should be able to offer you an appointment within a few days. I provide a free, 30-minute no obligation consultation in which we can look at your main concerns. Whether therapy can help depends, in my opinion, on the relationship between us and how comfortable and safe you feel. I am also available by phone, Google meet or Teams.

Hi, my name is Lyndsay, I specialise in working with kids, teens, and young adults who are dealing with a variety of problems in their lives -school, EBSA, bullying, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, friendships, family break down, identity issues, neurodivergence, social media, anxiety, low mood, depression,or grief and loss to name but a few. I work with recent and historic sexual, emotional and physical abuse and trauma.

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, my name is Margaret Miller. Changes in life can be exhilarating and fulfilling but they can also be difficult and challenging. Are you looking for support to cope with changes in your life e.g., in relationships, your health, role or identity? or do you want support to work on making changes in your life e.g., to how you feel, to understand yourself more, or to feel more motivated and less "stuck"? If so, I am able to offer you a confidential, professional, non-judgemental counselling service either online or in person. Don’t put it off any longer…..take that first step and get in touch for an initial consultation.

You might be struggling with suicidal thoughts, shame, feeling depressed, feeling constantly anxious and on edge. You might have a combination of these along with other issues that you need to work through. What you’re feeling might have been triggered by a traumatic, life altering event or you might not know why you’re feeling this way. Counselling can help from lots of different starting points. You don’t have to be at rock bottom to seek help or maybe that is where you are and that is okay too. You’ve taken the first steps to search for a counsellor. I know it takes a lot of courage, sometimes all you’ve got.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you suffering with anxiety or low self-worth?Have you recently been through a significant change or something traumatic?

Discover the Power of Talking-How often do you have the need to TALK to somebody and what stops you is what they might think?We all go through periods during which we feel alone, not understood and that is perfectly fine.Other times, we may need to change things in our lives and we don’t know where to start. Asking for help can be difficult too. These are the times when a Professional can be your sounding board, with a compassionate, non-judgemental and safe attitude can offer you an opportunity to discover new perspectives, new possibilities. Stop suffering in silence... You have more power to change things than you think you have.
