Counselling and Supervision in Skelmersdale, convenient for Southport, Liverpool, Ormskirk and Burscough
Are you trying to come to terms with loss?
Are there painful times when you're suddenly reminded of your loss?
How can I help you? Would you like to:
I am an experienced counsellor and supervisor, with a private therapy practice conveniently situated in Skelmersdale, with easy access from Liverpool, Southport, Burscough and Ormskirk.
Although my expertise is in loss and bereavement counselling and therapy, I have also worked with hundreds of people with a diverse range of difficulties, including:
"I have gained an understanding of myself and my outlook on my life has changed. Before counselling, I compared my life to others and viewed my own as negative. I now feel reassured and positive."
"Your help was invaluable and assisted me through one of the most difficult periods of my life in a calm, relaxed, and friendly manner. I have gone from being ‘at the end of my tether’ to a state where I feel much better able to cope with daily life. I have gained a better insight into my behaviour, increased self awareness and much better coping skills. I am hugely grateful.”
Through my counsellor training and my own personal experience, I understand how loss or bereavement can turn your life upside down; it can feel devastating, and hard to live with new feelings of anger, guilt, depression, anxiety, fear, or loneliness. I’m here to support you in what might be the most difficult time in your life. I will help you to cope with overwhelm, and to find your way to a happier life.
Therapies Available
Usually the main approach we will use for your counselling - talking allows you to tell me your 'story', and what is going on for you. I will hear and respect everything you say without judgement, expectation, or opinion.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a proven problem-based approach used to deal with problems including depression, anxiety, panic attacks and fears. Using simple written exercises to look at negative automatic thoughts and behaviour, which can easily be used at home.
Sometimes referred to as 'tapping', EFT is a very simple self-help technique based on energy points on the upper body, similar to those used in acupuncture (but without the needles!). Simple to learn and to practice, EFT can bring huge relief of many emotional and physical concerns, including, but not limited to, phobias, trauma, anxiety, cravings, and pain.
Simple and enjoyable techniques which help you to feel calm, less anxious, less depressed, sleep better, and be more in control of your actions and emotions.
Simple and enjoyable approaches using drawing, writing, toy models, stones or sand - helpful to uncover deep emotions when you can't think of the words to describe how you're feeling. Absolutely no artistic skill required!
If you’d like to find out more about how I can help you, I’d love to meet you at a free 20 minute first meeting, where you can ask any questions you have, and get a feeling for how we might get along, with no obligations to book further sessions of therapy
