I have always had a curiosity about people and what makes them who they are. I am drawn to connecting in meaningful and purposeful ways - I believe when we connect in these special ways things can be changed forever. The Curious Paradox provides a safe place to explore the lens with which we view ourselves, others and the world around us, helping us to gain an understanding of who we are, who we want to be and connect with our inner selves and start to discover new aspects of us or or parts that became damaged or lost along the way.

Many of us faces issues and challenges, which over time pile up and can become too much to handle in our daily lives. Due to deeper, unresolved difficulties from our history, such as issues from our childhood or issues from our families, relationships or situations can feel difficult. You can improve your self-awareness and decision-making through therapy. It provides you more control over your life and also aids in the treatment of sadness, anxiety, and maybe loss-related grief and low self-esteem. The goal of therapy is to help you reach your maximum potential.

You are the only person who can decide who you want to be, and how you want to be living your life.

Hi I'm Angela. Coming to counselling can feel like such a big step. There may be an obvious reason as to why you're feeling low, such as bereavement or a traumatic event. Equally you could be feeling sad and you don't really understand why. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety or depression, or you're having panic attacks? Many people are struggling with their mental health for the first time due to COVID 19. Whatever you're going through I'd like to help you feel better. I'm trained in both Person Centred Counselling and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). You can choose to work with either model or a combination of the two.

What would it be like to feel happier and more in control of your life and emotions? It can be really hard to imagine how things could ever be better but you can feel better. In counselling, you will be able to talk about exactly what is going on for you and how this feels, and we will work together to help you find a way forward, and to help you find ways of making your life better so that you feel happier. Anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, loss of motivation, anger management, and changes such as relationship breakdowns, unemployment or bereavement are all issues that I can help you work through.

Looking for a therapist is a courageous first step to make. You may be feeling uncertain of what might come next. I have found that common themes clients bring often include: • Feelings of shame and a lack of worthiness • Being very self-critical • Feeling rejected, hurt, and alone • Stuck in relationships that are not fulfilling • Feeling that your life lacks purpose • Traumatic experiences that feel like they define you • Would it help to have a space to work through these issues and to feel greater clarity in your life? If any of these issues resonate with you then you might benefit from working with myself as your therapist.

Hi, my name is Sal. I work with people with a wide range of issues. Many people come to therapy because they are having a difficult time and want someone to listen to them, others want help in finding reasons why they are feeling this way. Sometimes people have more complex issues and need someone skilled and experienced to help them manage and work through them.

Are you struggling with something difficult in the here and now, such as the loss of a loved one, or the breakdown of a relationship? Or perhaps you’re aware of vague, underlying feelings of sadness, anxiety, or anger. Maybe you feel trapped in a cycle of repeated disappointments with partners, friends, career and don’t know why. Whether you know what the problem is, or even if you don’t, therapy can help. It’s an opportunity to explore yourself; to examine feelings, thought, and motivations to gain understanding - the first step towards navigating a different, happier course. You've taken the first brave step - the next is to call.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.

If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Preston?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.

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 Preston 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.
