Counselling in FY6

Sometimes life can just get too much! We can feel overwhelmed with strong emotions and not really know how to work with them. Are you feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, bereft, suffering with low mood? Counselling can help you explore these emotions and help you find a way forward and gain control again. Choosing the right Counsellor is very important and can be difficult especially when you are experiencing testing times. Friends aren't always the answer, so perhaps counselling would help. You deserve to be the best version of you that you can be so take that step and let me help you! Call me for a free phone consultation.

Hi, my name is Lindsey. I am a fully qualified & registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. Seeking professional support is not a sign of weakness or vulnerability and can be a positive empowering choice to make. My role is to work alongside you to offer a safe, fully supportive space for therapeutic change, sharing healthy life skills, tools & techniques to cope with whatever your life experiences may be or have been- to support you to challenge & overcome unhealthy thoughts & behaviour.

You may want to cover an experience in your life or understand why you are having unwanted thoughts/feelings and patterns of behaviour. Feeling weighed down by life, perhaps feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed or even trapped by negative thoughts. It can be hard to see the light during these dark times; this is where Person Centred Counselling helps, as we will explore these issues in a safe space. Our sessions are client led and it is for that reason we can work at a pace that suits you, so no need to feel rushed.

I'm very passionate about helping people work through their problems & to do that I offer mainly Person-Centred Therapy, provided in a safe, friendly and confidential environment. Everyone says, it's been great to be able to say whatever they want. That to have someone like me to listen to what is bothering them and what they are going through without being judged or given an opinion, has allowed them the space to work through their problems leaving them feeling empowered, stronger & with purpose. Being an experienced therapist means I can work with a range of mental health issues so, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

If life feels so difficult that it seems impossible to move forward; if you feel stuck in emotional distress and you’re struggling to deal with it on your own then you may find it helpful to speak to a counsellor. Counselling can help you to understand the way you think, feel and behave, and it can help you to bring about positive changes in your life. When past experiences are troubling you, counselling can help you to accept what has happened and process the feelings that you've been left with. Counselling can be life-changing and even life-saving; it can help you to find the ‘real’ you again.

The past year has affected people in many different ways. It takes courage to make the first step and get support for your emotional well-being. Counselling can help you to reflect on your feelings and explore ways forward. It can be a great release to share your feelings with someone who is there, just for you. I am a Person-centred therapist and experienced in online and telephone counselling. Enquiries come directly to me and your first half hour session will be free. I will aim to return your call/message within a few hours.

A good healthy relationship can enrich our lives and and provide a deep sense of fulfilment, both emotionally and physically. When relationships are not working we often feel frustrated, and confused with measurable consequences on our lives and those around us.There are many reasons why relationships become difficult or unmanageable These may be because of poor communication, arguments that are repeated or never resolved, trust issues, an affair or life stage transitions such as having children, divorce, blended families, bereavement or retirement.

Whatever your personal reasons for seeking therapy, I can offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore your situation and move towards your goals. Counselling and psychotherapy have been proven to help with a wide range of issues, whether these are related to current distressing feelings or something traumatic from the past. Talking to someone who won't judge you or tell you what you should do can help you find your own way forward. As a counsellor, I accompany you on your journey. Trained in integrative psychotherapy, I can also suggest specific approaches to our work together that are based on your personal needs.

I am a highly qualified and accredited psychotherapist & counsellor with BACP from 2008. I have been working as a therapist since 2004 in a variety of settings including The NHS, The Priory Hospital, Blackpool College, and private practice. I also work in an rehab clinic. I work predominantly as a CBT & person centred counsellor; sometimes with EMDR & applications from TA and Addiction Therapy Interventions. The therapy I offer is tailor made and I adapt it according to your own presenting issues. I also offer clinical supervision to fellow therapists.

As a qualified ONLINE & FACE TO FACE Psychotherapist & Supervisor, I work from a beautiful, private log cabin in Loughborough and have a Practice in Blackpool. Using various ways and suited to the individual, I see that people are not their behaviours and are doing the best that they can with what they have. Everyone has the resources within themselves to change and to achieve their maximum potential in life and to EXPAND upon it, RIGHT NOW. Central to my work is the quality of the relationship and rapport between client and therapist. I provide a confidential, safe & trusting environment where you are free to explore deep issues.

I specialise in the treatment of addiction which I have written/ developed and delivered many successful treatment programmes over the past 18 years that are used in the community, prisons, and rehabs and one to one settings. Living in addiction can be a lonely and desolate place where people, including family and friends can lose hope and fear the worse. In my work I have the pleasure of seeing people enter into recovery and have a life worth living. Through cutting edge therapy and techniques people are able to take back control in their lives and achieve personal goals

Are you a mum struggling to work out if you can save your marriage? You want to give it one last chance, but don’t want to waste your time. You’re worried about your children and what this could do to them. So you’re scared to make a decision, because you don’t want to make the wrong one and later regret it. And you want to know if there’s something worth fighting for in your marriage before committing to staying.

I work with clients who want to see a change in their lives and I provide the support they need to work through their difficulties and to help them to find solutions and to process emotions. Some of my clients are struggling to overcome distress, bereavement, trauma or anxiety and I help them to process, and build resilience to enable them to move forward. However, I also work with clients who are struggling with low self esteem and self confidence to help them to identify their strengths, develop meaningful goals and move forward with their lives.

If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, loss or low self esteem or feel you need to be heard to understand the mind/body connection and how this impacts on your ability to balance your thoughts and feelings please get in touch. Racing thoughts and panic can arrive unannounced and unexpected-turning our world upside down. I know personally how hard it can be to reach out as in this modern world where there are so many ways to stay connected, we can often feel isolated and alone. I am here to offer you an honest, safe, caring space where you can feel valued and respected without judgement; time to explore what is at the core.

Well done on taking the most difficult decision to access counselling. Sometimes we feel totally overwhelmed by the challenges in life and seeking professional help seems like a momentous decision. However, when in crisis we need more than talking to our friends and family who may not always know how to listen without giving well meaning advice or simply may not know what to say. You may be feeling isolated and lonely, frightened or anxious. You may have temporarily lost your way. I will ensure that you are carefully listened to and I will accept you as you are, without judgement. Together we will find a way forward.
