Individual and group therapy available online and in person.
You may be finding life difficult at the moment and feeling anxious or sad. Struggling to focus and worrying about falling behind, you're working hard but, feel like you're getting nowhere. Great at sorting out other people's dramas, you're the first one friends and family turn to in a crisis, but you never seem to find the time or the energy to focus on you. You may notice familiar patterns repeating, sabotaging your work, studies and personal relationships and preventing you from reaching your goals. Painful past experiences are encroaching on the present, and you're wondering if therapy might help you get back on track.

You are professionally capable and privately running on empty. Perhaps you are neurodivergent, navigating a world not built for your brain. Perhaps you are LGBTQIA+, still carrying the cost of years spent not quite fitting. Perhaps you are in a relationship that once felt like home and now feels like a negotiation, 2 capable people who somehow cannot reach each other anymore. You are done performing for each other. Couple counselling here helps you put the disconnection down & find your way back to each other. You are done being the version of yourself that everyone else finds easier. You are here because something has to change.

In-person sessions are held in Standish, Wigan, near Junction 27 of M6.
You may look as though you’re coping well on the outside, while inside you’re overthinking, feeling anxious, questioning your relationships or finding yourself caught in the same patterns again and again. Perhaps you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, low self-worth or the impact of difficult past experiences. You may understand some of what is happening, but knowing why hasn’t quite been enough to change how you feel. I work with adults who want to understand what’s beneath these difficulties and begin to feel more secure in themselves, their relationships and the choices they make.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
