Transpersonal Counselling in Preston
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.

Reaching out for support can feel daunting, but you’re not expected to have everything figured out.
Hi, I’m Nela. I’m an integrative psychotherapist who works with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from their bodies, struggle to express their feelings, or feel unsure about how past experiences are shaping their present.
If you find yourself:
Overwhelmed.
Feeling on edge, tense, or exhausted.
Feeling numb, disconnected, or ‘not really here’.
Finding it hard to feel safe, even when you logically know you are.
You don’t have to make sense of this on your own.

I am here to support your healing process. Looking for a therapist is a courageous first step. I have found that common themes clients bring to therapy 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. Do any of these sound familiar? Would it help to have a space to work through these issues, to let go, and to feel greater freedom in your life? If any of these issues resonate with you then we can work together to make a difference.

Are you feeling the effects of childhood trauma? A bereavement? Estrangement from a faith community or spiritual abuse? Clients typically approach me because they are feeling lonely or unfulfilled, are experiencing anxiety or depression, self loathing or self sabotage. Sometimes because of a relationship breakdown or problems at work. Sometimes wondering,“Who on earth am I ? ”

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.

Are you done with wondering why you're different? Are you exploring neurodiversity and noticing that pieces of the puzzle are falling together? Are you looking to make sense of your self, and understand yourself better so that you can be the best, most authentic version of yourself? I see you. Do you want to be better able to communicate your needs, to make life easier for yourself and those around you? Adults who suspect or are diagnosed as neurodiverse go through a transition process, of shedding who we thought we were and truly accepting who we are. I can help you with that.

I am proudly AuDHD and draw on 16 years of experience in private practice as well as lived experience of being neurodivergent. I work exclusively with Autistic and ADHD adults. My solution focused approach is to help you thrive as an Autistic / ADHD person rather than cope with symptoms by carrying on living a neurotypical life. I work relationally and do more than just validate your experience. I am very much involved and provide input, challenge and guidance. I help clients to recognise the systemic injustice that they might not notice, reclaim their power and move from awareness to action.

My ideal client often feels overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in patterns they can’t quite shift. They may struggle with anxiety, trauma, identity questions, or feeling misunderstood by others and themselves. Many second-guess their emotions or feel disconnected from what they truly need. They want clarity, self-trust, and a space where they can explore things safely and honestly, so life feels more manageable, meaningful, and authentically their own.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to explore how we make sense of the sometimes contrasting ways we see the world. It offers a space to explore the ways we experience and are making sense of our past and present. To do this we want to cultivate a collaborative space where we befriend the habits that separate us from ourself and others. Often our habits are so habitual we don’t realise we are doing them. They have become almost unconscious in what we do. They are embodied in how we do life… they have become somatised.

How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
