Counselling for Seniors in Wirral
Feeling stressed, tense or worried at certain times in life is a normal human response. For some people, anxiety becomes overwhelming and persists to the point that fear significantly impacts daily life which can lead to low mood and low self-esteem. Anxiety can also develop into more specific areas such as social anxiety, panic attacks or OCD. If you experience any of these and would like to learn to manage your symptoms then I can help. I have experience and I am qualified to treat people with Long Term Health Conditions and also have significant expertise in treating Depression, Specific Phobias, Health Anxiety and PTSD.

Life can be overwhelming at times and feel as though it’s full of challenges and uphill struggles. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, depressed, or generally a ‘bit stuck’ with life.
Many people feel exactly the same way and I am here to support you so that you don’t have to navigate, which way to go, or, what to do, alone. There may not even be a clear issue that you would like to explore but there is just an underlying unease and ‘not being ok’ feeling.

During therapy, we’ll team up to combine your insight with proven approaches (CBT, EMDR, Third Wave CBT) for real, lasting change.

My 7-Pillar Model blends compassion, evidence, empowerment, and flexibility—offering more depth, time, and continuity than standard NHS care.

My psychotherapy philosophy is that everyone has the resources within themselves to find meaning, purpose and fulfilment in their lives. Sometimes we need some help in accessing these internal resources. If you find yourself feeling stuck, depressed or anxious possibly from external life events, problematic relationship issues, or other internal psychological struggles which may be more difficult to understand, you may find it helpful to speak to a counsellor. Talking about issues of concern in a confidential environment can lead to greater understanding, more self awareness and clarity about best ways forward.

I have helped clients with a range of presenting difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, relationship struggles and many more. What you must have in therapy is the space to feel comfortable to open up and feel heard by your therapist. When people come to therapy they feel stuck and feel like they don’t know where to turn. If this is you therapy can help provide a space for empathy, and understanding while helping you to move in a better direction.
In addition I provide gold standard ADHD assessments, reports and link with relevant professionals for supported treatment plans. Prices for this upon request.

My clients are individuals who are struggling to make sense of how they are feeling and situations they are going through.
They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low confidence, low self esteem, Imposter Syndrome, relationship issues, bereavement, OCD etc.
They come to therapy because they need support. They may have been managing alone for a long time and have finally reached a point where they know something needs to change.
They want to feel better, think more clearly and reconnect with who they really are, gain back control and feel more confident and in control.
That is exactly how I help.

Hello and thanks for stopping. I love what I do. 'Extremely easy to talk to'...'turned things around for me'...'helped save my life' being just a few client comments. I've been qualified since 2013; during that time I've worked with serving police officers and civilian staff at Merseyside Police, those supported by Victim Support Homicide Service, VI Form students, Occupational Health & EAP clients. I know that being a counsellor was always meant for me because I have an affinity with people and being able to be 'with' them. This and my life experience gives me the most perfect grounding to be the best that I can be for my clients.

I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life. People come to therapy for many different reasons – perhaps something has happened which you're struggling to make sense of, a relationship has changed, you've experienced a loss, or you feel that something in life isn't quite as you'd like it to be.
My role isn't to tell you how you should feel or what you may need to change. It's to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and decide what moving forward looks like for you.

See More Seniors Counsellors FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
