Counselling

I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling for individuals and couples in the Wyre & Fylde areas of Lancashire. Individual sessions cost £50 and last for 50 mins. Couples Therapy costs £70 for 60 mins sessions and £90 for the first session which lasts 90 mins. I also offer an initial free appointment lasting 20 mins which allows you to meet me, find out more about how I work and to get a feel for whether you would like to start counselling with myself. This can be either face to face or online.

Person Centred counselling is a type of talking therapy that was founded by Carl Rogers a psychologist who believed that ‘given the right conditions a person can reach their full potential and become their true self which he termed ‘ self actualisation’ (BACP 2025). In order to help you reach your full potential and become your true self I will provide a therapy space that is fully accepting of all that you bring to the session, providing empathy and compassion. Please see my About page for further details about my approach

How to book your first session

You can book your first session by email, phone, WhatsApp or text (see below) or by completing the form on the Contact page. You can also contact me via the social media pages. I will then be in contact with you to arrange an initial free consultation which is normally over the phone and lasts for 20 minutes however some clients like to come and meet me face to face and to also see if the space feels comfortable for them.

During the first session I will start with going through a counselling agreement with you (that you will have received prior to the session) just to check whether you have any questions. Then the space is yours to explore what is on your mind. It can usually take a few sessions to start to feel comfortable with myself and the space and also the process of counselling. It can feel quite daunting starting on a counselling journey and I know too well this feeling so I ensure that I provide a safe and nurturing environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
