Life Coaching Counselling in Ellesmere Port

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.

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.

I love helping people which enables me to work holistically, creating an environment of safety, understanding and trust without judgement. I have been caring for people in various capacities for over 35 years as a nurse and therapist I am easy going, adaptable and resilient.

People turn to counselling for different reasons. You may feel overwhelmed with fears, frustrated, stuck or simply need someone to listen in a confidential environment. Counselling can help to make sense of what is going on in your own head when you struggle to understand the way you think, behave or the world surrounding you. My aim is to empower and provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to talk in which you can explore your feelings, dreams and ways of thinking.

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.

Is this you? Is your mind clouded all the time, have you got 200 things running through your head, do you struggle to concentrate, find it hard to make decisions?   Do you doubt yourself lots, low-confidence, negative thoughts, think more of others than yourself?   Are you living in the past, grieving loved ones, not dealing with your problems, involved in toxic relationships?   Is it time to stop and think about your mental health and wellbeing?
