Life can feel very heavy after a loss, a trauma, a relationship breakdown or a big change you didn’t choose. You might feel anxious, low, overwhelmed or simply not like yourself. If this is where you find yourself, you don’t have to carry it alone.
I’m Martin Ross, a person‑centred counsellor in Northwich. I work with adults, children and teens around grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. My style is warm, steady and down to earth. I offer a calm, non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly, at your own pace, and we can gently make sense of what’s been happening for you.

I work with children and adults! When working with children, I like to involve the parents where possible. When working with adults, motivation is always effective in making change. I enjoy thinking with clients about realistic and long lasting goals, and I spend time working on a formulation to understand which patterns may be helping or hindering those I support.

Do you want to understand why you are the way you are — and why you feel the ways you do? Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling like they were doing life slightly wrong. Most are neurodivergent adults exhausted by having to explain themselves. Some are families trying to navigate systems that don't listen. Some just know that something hasn't fitted — without yet having a name for it. What they share is a mind that works differently, and a need for someone who starts from curiosity rather than correction.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. We feel exhausted, stressed, unable to switch off, unsure of our direction, our identity, or there’s something just not quite right. We seem to find time for others, but there’s no time for ourselves or we’re unsure where to turn. Does this sound familiar? This is where I can help. Hi, I'm Gill and I am a Counsellor in the Frodsham area. I can offer you acceptance and a safe, supportive confidential space; where together at a pace guided by you, we can start to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and emotions and get to the bottom of what's weighing you down. Helping you rediscover you.

Do you find yourself constantly putting everyone else first, and resenting it inside?
Struggling with a phobia that's taking over your life?
Exhausted by complicated family dynamics, or confidence that keeps letting you down?

I aim to be warm as well as direct. I won't just let you talk endlessly - I'll challenge you. In turn, you can say whatever you need to, however you need to. I'm here for it.

Reaching out can be difficult. Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, unsettled, lost your way, or uncomfortable with whom you have become. The difficulties within our lives can change who we are or how we see the world. It can lead to thoughts or behaviours that take us away from who we are, resulting in a feeling of something not being right, struggling to cope or to make sense of things. When entering therapy, our life experiences enter too, and healing occurs within the processing. We will work together to build trust and explore your emotions and thoughts within a non-judgemental and safe environment, working at your own pace.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
