Parenting Counselling in Warrington

Sometimes it all just feels too much. Maybe you are overwhelmed with anxiety and exhausted with trying to be someone you are not. You might be a parent , struggling to help your child through mental health issues and seek a different way of being, in order to feel more calm and focused. You might be looking to learn more about what being autistic means for you, or be wanting to heal from a painful past that did not celebrate who you are. If so, counselling may be a path to help empower you, to make the changes you need and rediscover your sense of self.

Hi, my name is Julie. I am a professional Counsellor and Supervisor and an member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society. I provide a confidential, counselling service to meet your individual needs providing a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can work at your own pace in a place of safety and comfort where your feelings and emotions can be expressed and explored. I offer support and understanding in a non-critical way and appreciate and respect differences and diversity in culture, ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, physical ability and spirituality

Welcome to my profile. My number one aim, passion and priority is to make a positive difference to your life. For me, counselling is a process that supports, empowers and facilitates well-being. A space that you can trust with no judgement or criticism for you to feel free to express and explore what’s important to you. I offer an empathic nurturing relationship so that you are supported to achieve your goals, whether it would be personal development and self-actualisation or to overcome distressing/traumatic events, thoughts or feelings. Attentively, I actively listen to you so I understand deeply, you and your lived experiences.

Welcome to my profile. I have spent the last 20 years working in a caring profession. I have a passion for supporting others to grow and overcome challenges in their life and I have run my own business and experienced many of life’s challenges.

Feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed by life’s events can happen to any of us and usually occurs at the most inappropriate time. Do you feel unable to make sense of how you feel? Do you have difficulties in relationships? Have you noticed the same patterns of behaviour happening repetitively in your life? Do you have low self-confidence/self-esteem? Do you suffer with anxiety and/or depression? If you have answered yes to any of the above, then I may be able to help you.

“Most people go through difficult and challenging times at some point. Life is not always easy or straightforward" Whether you are here due to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety or work related stress; personal development goals, such as increasing self esteem or developing assertiveness; or you are experiencing relationship problems or grief and loss, the good news is counselling will help!.

I aim to support any adult, child, young person, family or organisation to maximise their potential and effectively manage the difficulties that life often brings. I believe that by building an understanding of your social, emotional, psychological and physical needs, you can be supported to feel safe, ready to cope and able to achieve the goals that matter to you. My aim will be to help you to explore your needs, to better understand the difficulties you face and to provide tailored psychological support, based on a wide range of evidence based interventions to help develop solutions that work for you.

The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together.

People turn to counselling with many and varied issues. But despite the variations, you have some things in common and often it is recognition that it is time for change, or a desire to change; a wish to minimise or remove distress and anxiety and a need for a deeper understanding of yourself, your partners, family members or others around you. I am fully Relate trained to work with couples and your relationship issues, however I also work with individuals, young people and families covering the wide range of issues you may encounter on a daily basis. I offer room based therapy in Warrington or outdoor sessions in Wrexham.

I am passionate about Person Centered Counselling as it is all about the Client’s journey. I believe that it is an honour and a privilege to be allowed into people’s lives in this personal way. I value honesty, integrity, autonomy and confidentiality. I believe that everyone has the right to choose their own path. I feel that my personal experiences allow me to gain insight and understanding of my clients feelings. However, I recognise that every client brings their own unique experiences and the sessions that I offer are all about you and how you want to use our time.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." This is a quote by Anaïs Nin, one in which I firmly believe. It is always helpful to talk to someone, especially when that someone is trained to listen and help in a specialised and interactive way. A counsellor is not there to judge you, nor are they there to tell you what to do. Instead, counselling provides a safe and respectful environment to express and explore your feelings and troubles. Together, we can create a path of acceptance and work together to heal and change.

If you are anxious in any form - stress, PTSD, OCD, worrying, phobias and fears, agoraphobia, panic I can help. If your mood is low, or feeling tired and demotivated, unable to enjoy anything I can help. If your relationship is in trouble, or ending or single and unsure about what you want or maybe lacking confidence in yourself I can help. I'm very experienced and effective. It takes only a few sessions in many cases to start feeling much better regain your confidence and energy and feel hopeful about your future again.

You may feel you manage well in most areas of your life but you experience stress in one particular life domain - maybe work, something from your past or your sense of achievement.
