Steve | Person-centred counsellor

Introduction

You don’t need to have it all figured out

You can come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unsure, or just tired of things not changing.

You don’t need a plan.

We'll work that out together.

What this work focuses on

This isn’t about talking endlessly or trying to manage symptoms.

It’s about understanding what’s actually happening, so you can respond differently.

Sessions are 60 minutes, focused and structured.

We stay with something long enough for it to make sense, and for you to know what to do next.

No scripts. No performance.

How I work

I’m direct, calm, and grounded.

I don’t sit back while you try to figure everything out on your own.

I’m actively involved,  helping you think clearly, question what’s happening, and see your situation from a different angle.

In sessions, this often looks like:

• Understanding reactions that don’t make sense
• spotting what keeps repeating in your life
• slowing things down when things feel overwhelming
• seeing where your choices actually are
• working out the next step you can realistically take

What this helps with

• anxiety and overthinking
• self-criticism and feeling stuck
• relationship difficulties
• emotional reactions that feel out of proportion
• repeating situations that don’t seem to change

What you get from sessions

You understand what’s really going on

You feel more in control of yourself

You stop going round the same loops

You gain a clearer sense of direction

You leave with something you can actually use

Sessions

60-minute sessions

In person (St Helens), video, or phone

You can come once, come regularly, or return when needed.

There’s no fixed path.

Couples work (optional)

I also work with couples.

If your situation involves a partner, you can come individually, together, or a mix of both.

Is this right for you?

If you want clarity, honesty, and a way forward, this usually fits well.

You don’t need to be confident, articulate, or “good at therapy.”

You just need to be willing to look at what’s going on.

Starting point

If you’re unsure, start with a free introductory call.

No pressure. No obligation.

Just a simple conversation to see if it feels right.
