Armed Forces Counselling in Preston
Many of the people who come to therapy are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to shift alone. Some are navigating the impact of past experiences, while others are struggling in relationships, managing stress, or facing significant life changes. Often, they are thoughtful people who have been coping for a long time but are ready to understand themselves more deeply. In therapy, we take time to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, helping clients gain insight, develop healthier ways of responding to challenges, & move towards a life that feels more balanced and manageable.

I offer both outdoor and online/phone counselling. As a practicing counsellor for 20 years, I have gained much experience working with clients facing a myriad of human challenges, these include: low self-esteem/confidence building, anxiety/ intrusive and catastrophic thinking, life limiting illnesses and the impact of this on patients or carers and complex bereavement. Over the years I have worked with each and every client differently, based on their unique story, therapy needs and goals. In your first session, we will explore your expectations, therapy needs and hopes of how you would like your life to be after our sessions.

I believe you strive to want to do what's best for you, no matter what conditions you may find yourself in. I believe in the uniqueness of each individual and that you have the capacity to be the expert in your own world, as only you know how you truly feel, and what you really want. You are the only person who can decide who you want to be, and how you want to be living your life. I believe you deserve respect for the values and choices you decide to live by and strongly believe that through the trustworthy relationship I hope to build with you, that together, we will find the path that is hidden from you.

Relationships are at the core of what it means to be human. If your relationship with your partner or your family is not working , then this can affect so many parts of your life. Perhaps you feel that you have never been happy in the relationship that you are in? Perhaps you or your partner have had an affair or have issues with jealousy? Maybe you are considering splitting up or leaving? Being part of an extended family can present its own problems. Being a Step Parent or Step Child can be very problematic. Parenting issues can cause major rifts in families and sometimes an experienced third party can offer a solution.

I am a highly qualified and experienced consultant psychotherapist and supervisor with 20 years experience and recognised clinical expertise in the treatment and assessment of a wide range of mental health problems (including: depression, anxiety, personality disorders and psychosis), problematic behaviours and addictions. My guiding aim is to help each client to the point where they no longer require therapy or medication, and can cope skilfully and independently with life’s challenges, and understand how the past can impede our ability to cope with the present.

There is a broad spectrum of reasons why people seek and can benefit from counselling. The reasons may seem clear, or may feel somewhat out of reach, yet there is a sense that talking to someone may help? Counselling can help us to better understand the source of our distress, find resolutions and move forward in ways that serve us better as individuals. I consider it a privilege to work with people in this endeavour and recognise that it is important that you find the right person to talk to.

Things happen in life that catch us off guard, trauma, death of a loved one, diagnosis of an illness and more. You might pride yourself in being able to handle most of what life deals you. This feels different and it's impacting other things in your life. Sometimes it takes exploring the issues candidly without concern of being a burden, being judged or worried about.

Often clients contact me when other therapy has not helped them in the way they had hoped. This is often due to the complexity of difficulties being layered perhaps in a history of trauma. Distress in the body and mind can be triggered by what appears to be something superficial. This can open up the past or come at a time when our emotional resilience is low so this event has a greater impact than it may have done. We can find ourselves not being able to function in our normal way. Many clients often identify as 'good copers' and those who 'just get on with it'. Perhaps we can't now - this is frightening and can derail us.

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to each individual’s unique needs, experiences, and capabilities. We all develop our own way of being, shaped by our family dynamics, life events, and personal strengths. I draw on a range of therapeutic methods — including grief and bereavement work, creative and art-based therapies, behavioural approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Transactional Analysis — to provide support that truly fits you.
You may be wondering, “How can I be helped?” Together, we will explore your experiences and challenges, using supportive techniques to help you navigate difficulties.
