Are you experiencing low self-esteem/confidence and need someone to talk to, but difficult to do so with family/friends? Maybe you are finding yourself in unhelpful relationship patterns with family, friends or at work where it feels difficult to express yourself? Always saying yes, but wanting to say no, feeling anxious and not good enough? It can sometimes feel like there is no way life could be any different but in looking for a counsellor, I am thinking you are wanting to find ways to help yourself that can help you work towards moving beyond what is troubling you now.

My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that each of us carries within ourselves the wisdom and tools to initiate our own healing process, the therapeutic relationship then becomes a facilitation of a return to self. Through my own journey of recovery and successfully sustaining sobriety I have become a believer in being able to reinvent your life. To address addiction is often very difficult and takes incredible courage. But the gifts of recovery from addiction are tremendous. As your therapist I will quickly identify the causes, conditions and underlying concerns that are causing your pain.

We all experience difficult times in our lives, suffering anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship issues, grief, bereavement, physical illness, emotional/physical abuse, low mood, and low motivation, to name just a few of the reasons people come to therapy. At times we will feel like we don’t want to ‘burden’ people with how we feel so we try to push through and carry on, we try to pretend all is ok, we try and cope by putting on a smile and a brave face, often we simply find we are unable to move forward and feel stuck.

I think for most of us, life has a tendency to become overwhelming from time to time and we can feel like the support we have around us just isn't enough. Try not to compare your struggles with others - it's important you acknowledge that your difficulties are relative to you and you alone. But if you're reading this I would hope you are already beginning to realise, YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE WAY YOU CURRENTLY FEEL.

Maybe you are overwhelmed with anxiety and exhausted with trying to manage everything. You might be a parent, struggling to help your child through mental health issues, whilst feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns that are taking their toll on you. You might be looking to learn more about yourself, or be wanting to heal from a painful past. If anything here resonates with you, counselling in a safe space, with no judgements, may be able to help

Support, warmth, understanding and acceptance, together with a professional service, this is what I base my counselling practice on. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, frustrating, unfair...even cruel, throwing so many unexpected hurdles in our way. Struggling can be a lonely, isolating place and sometimes we need more than just talking with family or friends. I offer a calm, confidential, non-judgemental space to truly be heard and listened to in which you can explore your struggles or confusions and, hopefully, enable you to recover your own perspective and clarity surrounding whatever difficulties are impacting your life.

I specialise in working with adults on the impact of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, working holistically & creatively to help you break free of the patterns that trauma creates. I understand that these painful experiences can often lead to feeling lost and disconnected, which can impact on how we feel about ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. You may feel stuck or unable to move on from past events, perhaps noticing patterns in your relationships or behaviour. Feelings of shame & perfectionism can be a barrier to asking for help and it may be difficult to express yourself with words alone.

Searching for the right help is not easy when life feels overwhelming. The thought of sharing very personal feelings, perhaps for the first time can make us feel vulnerable and exposed. People come to counselling for many reasons: feeling unable to cope; feeling deeply distressed or maybe feeling that something in their life needs to change. You may be considering counselling to obtain greater understanding of issues that are currently affecting you or perhaps you want to reflect on long-standing matters from your past.

Many of us find ourselves struggling to cope with past or current traumatic events, depression, work related stress, loss, relationship issues and various setbacks in life. It can feel very overwhelming if we mask our feelings and try to battle through alone. Perhaps you always put other peoples needs first and want to learn how to have your own needs met. You may have difficulties in your relationships and want to understand why unhealthy patterns of relating keep repeating themselves. Problems in our childhood such as abuse and neglect can rob our self esteem and confidence as adults. Counselling can help with many of these issues

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
Some of the most common types of mental health providers in Formby are psychologists, licensed counsellors, therapists, and psychotherapists, all of whom diagnose mental health conditions and provide individualised treatment.

Services offered, education, and credentials vary by type of mental health professional. Each professional in Formby then may specialise in certain areas, such as depression, marriage counselling, or anxiety. Although many mental health providers are not licensed to prescribe medication, they may coordinate with a provider who can.

Both in-person and online therapy sessions are available from most psychologists.
How to find a specialist?
You can refine your search using the filters on this page. There are several categories you can filter by to find mental health professionals with the experience you are looking for. You may want to filter for CBT Psychologists in Formby, or Child Psychologists in Formby.

Many find it useful to use filters to view only psychologists that have experience working with certain issues, like Formby psychologists specialising in EMDR.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Formby specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
