You have come here for help and I hear you. Do you feel that you’ve lost touch with your real ‘self’? Perhaps life has taken you down a path you hadn’t expected. You might be looking at your relationships and career and wondering why you feel the way you do. This can leave you feeling lonely, anxious and depressed and every other emotion in between. Talking these things through with someone can help you to unravel your thoughts and feelings and find a way forward. If this is what you're looking for, I can offer face to face counselling at my practice which is based in Blackpool on the beautiful Fylde Coast.

Life, and our lived experience of it, is complex. Often times we choose not to look into this complexity for fear of being overwhelmed by unwanted truths and emotions. This approach may work for some of us for a while, however for most - life will confront us with pain that is difficult to ignore. The avoidance of this pain or reality is what leads to mental health symptoms and prolonged distress. However, life does not need to be so difficult. If you would like to make sense of your life and unique lived experienced in order to lead a more fulfilled existence, please get in touch.

Hello, I'm Melissa or Milly, if you prefer. I am an experienced integrative counsellor dedicated to helping clients uncover and embrace their true selves. I can only say that I am passionate about what I do. Seeing people develop and grow is an amazing experience. Being able to witness someone become confident, assertive and self-aware is a privilege. I aim to create an environment where someone can explore who they really are and develop themselves and their lives. Being with someone in their depths and darkness is a way of providing a light to see the way out.

I fully understand how challenging life can be at times, and sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Our worries can create feelings of anxiety and depression, which can in turn make us feel isolated, alone and misunderstood. Having a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through whatever is on your mind can be incredibly powerful in enabling you to unburden and begin to heal. By being truly listened to, perhaps for the first time, I believe you can start to make sense of your experiences and find solutions to whatever is troubling you.
