Bereavement Counselling in Ellesmere Port

I am a warm, empathic counsellor working with the person-centred approach. I am registered with the BACP and primarily work with individuals. I have experience working with bereavement and loss , anxiety and low mood and trauma of all kinds, from childhood abuse to PTSD. I also have experience working with post addiction recovery.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you suffering with anxiety or low self-worth?Have you recently been through a significant change or something traumatic? We can’t always prepare ourselves for what life throws at us, so if theres something you’ve been struggling with or something you’d like the be different, it’s the perfect place to explore this. In my time in practice I have specialised in working with people in distress because of bereavement , trauma and anxiety. I work with adults and young people and have a wealth of experience in helping people through loss and significant life changes.

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.

The last year has hit many of us hard. The most recent lockdown has particularly caused impact in many ways to many of my clients. Whether it has intensified previous issues, or caused new issues that have had a real effect on life in so many ways; anxiety, depression, low motivation, low self esteem, loneliness, grief , finances, confusion, abuse, burn-out, overwhelm, it is completely normal to be feeling that way. Not nice. But normal considering all you have going on and have been through. So many clients feel relief in just talking about what is happening for them. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space that is uniquely yours.

I offer a confidential, warm and welcoming space to provide a platform for your voice to be heard without judgement. As an integrative therapist, I believe we all have within us the capacity to grow and develop which leads to a more productive and content life. I understand how certain life experiences re-shape the way we think, behave and react; changing the way we view our world. If you have ever heard yourself wondering. 'I should have done...,' or 'I am not feeling good enough somehow,' I will work alongside you to explore and challenge the validity of those thoughts and to find alternative ways of thinking and being.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am not going to bombard you with an essay about myself but I'd like to tell you that I am a warm and empathic counsellor. 20 years ago, I was in need of counselling and it turned my whole world around. That was the moment that I decided that I wanted to train to be a counsellor. I will walk beside you every step of the way on your personal journey until we get to your desired destination. I will, ultimately, give you the tools to become your own counsellor.

I am an experienced adult, child, young person and couples counsellor. I understand you may be feeling overwhelmed right now but that choosing the right counsellor can be over whelming too. I really do love my job and I take my role very seriously so will endeavour to help you and my hope is that together we will "fit" and share the road forward together.

You may be looking for therapy for lots of different reasons, life may seem overwhelming right now or maybe your relationship is causing you concern. Maybe anxiety or depression are stopping you from living the life you want to live. Whatever your reason, we can work together to find a way forward for you so that you can make the changes you wish to make. I offer a safe non judgemental supportive space where we can explore your feelings and start to understand your thoughts in order to change them. I have extensive experience in working with clients with anxiety, depression, low mood, self harm, suicidal ideation, trauma

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. Reaching out for help and support can be a really hard first step to take. Well done for that. The therapy I offer is all about the client and what support they feel they are looking for. I will listen to you and offer you that safe space to think about things that are affecting you now or from the past. I will support you as the unique and individual person that you are and help you to unravel some of those things that have been impacting on you. I offer a free 30 minute session to see if you feel comfortable talking to me and to make sure that you feel safe.

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.
