Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in Hale

Hello, great to meet you. Taking the first step towards counselling is a brave and positive decision, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), you can trust that you'll receive professional and ethical care in a safe and confidential environment. In our sessions, I'll provide a warm and non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Together, we'll explore your unique experiences and work towards finding solutions that resonate with you.

I work with children, young people and adults experiencing psychological, emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties. Working together with you, the aim is to reach a shared understanding of the problems, how and why they developed, what might be maintaining them and finding a new way forward for you.

Hello, My name is Anita and I am an Accredited BACP Counsellor based in Lindale, (Grange over Sands) Cumbria, UK. I have had over fourteen years professional experience working with adults, couples and young people through crisis, loss, trauma and unexpected life changes. Within the counselling it will help you address these issues, get to the route of why you may be feeling this way, along with developing a different approach in tackling them. In every session, I maintain a friendly and compassionate approach, whilst professionally adhering to BACP ethics and framework.

I support you to think about yourself more compassionately and clearly; strengthen your sense of who you are and better understand your relationships.

Hi, I'm John. I offer down to earth counselling to help you make sense of whatever it is you're experiencing. I will offer you time and space for you to talk through your problems confidentially. I am there to listen to you. I will not use complicated jargon but will listen to what you have to say, with an appropriate use of humour to put you at ease. I will try to see the world through your eyes, whilst not judging and being genuine. I served in the Royal Navy and worked in high-pressured Businesses. My Facebook Page is Counselling Minds. Also on Instagram, Linkedin and Twitter. Thanks for reading! I hope to hear from you soon.

I am an experienced and registered Counselling Psychologist in private practice offering a range of psychological therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR. Although I am based in Lancaster I work entirely remotely and offer online appointments to clients from anywhere in the UK.

Please note - I am not currently taking clients due to being on maternity leave until November 24. I am an experienced, empathic, creative therapist, working with children, young people, and adults who may be experiencing stress and low mood, worries, or feel down about themselves. I support individuals who have experienced trauma, or who are struggling with difficult life experiences. I have training and experience in both therapeutic person centred counselling, creative therapies, and cognitive behavioural therapy, so can adapt my approach to meet your needs. Being a mum myself, I understand how important support is for families.

Navigating overwhelming feelings alone can be daunting. Starting on the path of seeking therapeutic support is a significant step. Within counselling and psychotherapy, there are no ‘one size fits all’ approaches. I am trained in a number of therapies which means that I offer a wide menu of therapeutic techniques, tailoring therapy to your specific needs and preferences. Our work can be structured and focused, or exploratory and discovery based, depending on your goals. I blend cognitive behavioural therapy with person centred practice and can use specific therapy models if needed.
