Person-Centred Counselling in Lancaster, Caton, Kirkby Lonsdale & Belfast
A safe space to be heard and understood
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website
My journey into counselling grew from a genuine desire to help people and from my own life experiences, which have taught me the importance of being heard, understood and supported during difficult times. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space where they can talk openly without fear of judgement.
I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential environment where we can explore whatever is troubling you at a pace that feels comfortable. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you as an individual, recognising that no two people experience life in the same way.
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I work in accordance with their ethical framework and engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure safe and effective practice.
I support clients with a range of issues including anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions.
I understand that taking the first step can feel daunting. My aim is to provide a supportive, respectful space where you feel heard, valued and able to begin making sense of what you are experiencing.
HOW CAN COUNSELLING HELP?
I provide professional, compassionate counselling in a safe and confidential environment, supporting clients through a wide range of personal and emotional challenges. My work is tailored to each individual, so together we can explore whatever is troubling you at a pace that feels comfortable.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, counselling can help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and feel more in control of your life. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative, helping you feel heard, valued, and understood.
The benefits of counselling can include increased self-awareness, greater clarity about difficult situations, and practical tools to manage emotions and challenges more effectively. My goal is to support you in taking small, meaningful steps toward feeling better and building resilience in your everyday life.
People come to me for help with a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:

Grief, loss or bereavement
Trauma and post-traumatic stress
Life transitions

SPEAK IN CONFIDENCE
Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity and empathy - and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.

A PROBLEM SHARED...
Trouble with a relationship; anxiety or panic attacks; mood swings or depression - many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
MAKE BETTER, HEALTHIER NEW CHOICES
Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, heathier choices moving forward.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, BUT YOU’VE ALREADY TAKEN THE FIRST STEP...
It can be scary and confusing making the decision to contact a counsellor or therapist, but in my experience people will struggle with a mental health issue, a personal crisis or problems with a relationship for much longer than is healthy.
Sometimes a friend has proved a source of comfort, but this help can only go so far. Realising that resolving a problem requires something more means you have actually already taken the first step towards improving your life.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Counselling is usually a good way to help with a current problem; something that can be discussed and - hopefully - resolved within a limited number of sessions. Over a certain number of weeks the understanding of the problem improves and away forward becomes clear. Therapy often describes work that goes a bit deeper, towards more substantial life issues and problems having a deeper effect on the client’s life. Therapy often requires a long-term approach, so the number of sessions can be open-ended.
Which option is most suitable depends on the client and the difficulties they are facing. In some cases counselling works well as an ongoing, longer-term option - or therapy can manage to resolve an issue in just a few sessions.
How long a period of counselling lasts will vary from person to person and depend on the depth of the issues they are facing. For some people a couple of sessions helps to bring their problems into focus, and they feel ready to move forward; other problems may require more of an open-ended approach.
Before we begin any work we will agree on the number of sessions we’ll undertake, and at the end of that number review our progress. As long as we both agree further therapy will be of benefit to you, sessions can continue.
My aim is to offer a first appointment - known as an initial assessment - within 1-2 weeks. Then we would arrange a set number of counselling sessions to take place at the same time every week, that is convenient for you and where I have availabity. How quickly these sessions can begin will depend on the availabity of that free ‘slot’.
Everything that is said within the counselling room is private - this is one of the main ways counselling and therapy differ from talking to a friend or relative. Once you are comfortable with the format of weekly sessions and the safe space they provide, you will find the freedom to speak in confidence is of great value.
Note that there are some situations where you may be a risk to yourself or others, and there the law requires that I notify an authority; in these cases I may not be able to keep total confidentiality. Breaking confidentiality is very rare though, and only happens after the person concerned has been informed.
Usually I am asked this question by people who are nervous about entering into counselling, or when they are looking for support in coming to see a therapist. This anxiety is understandable, but a key aspect of therapy is that you should feel free to talk about any issues you feel are important to you. Having someone else with you who can be connected those issues makes this opening-up more difficult, so for this reason I do not see clients accompanied by friends or family.
