Counselling Rainford - St Helens
I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and registered member of the BACP based in Rainford, Merseyside offering individual adults local face to face counselling and online counselling to anyone over 18 throughout the UK.
I’m a friendly and approachable counsellor, and I’ll provide a comfortable and welcoming space for you. No inner struggle is insignificant, every one is unique and we all deserve the space to feel heard in a respectful and non judgemental environment.
THERE MAY BE MANY REASONS YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING FOR COUNSELLING
-
Have experienced loss or a life changing experience
-
You may not be feeling yourself
-
Life is feeling too much and everything is getting on top of you
-
Experiences from the past are impacting day to day
-
Talking to family and friends has become difficult
-
You may be feeling anxious or have low mood
-
Feeling unmotivated and lost interest in what you usually enjoy
Together, we’ll talk about what’s going on in your life without judgment. Most importantly I will listen and join you in how you experience your feelings. You will be respected and given the time and freedom to express yourself. I can help you address your challenges and make choices to move forward in your life.
Counselling can truly make a significant difference in people’s lives, offering a safe space to explore a variety of issues. It is a privilege to be able to facilitate this process, and I am deeply passionate about providing individuals with the opportunity to have this experience.
Our relationship is a partnership, and I am here to walk alongside you as you take this step towards personal growth and self-discovery.
Online therapy
Video call sessions via 'what's app' can be a great option, if you have a laptop, tablet or mobile phone and privacy. Staying in the comfort of your own home saves the anxiety of ‘other people’ and saves travelling time. However, if being at home is not the best option for you, leaving the house with your phone and some headphones to attend the video call in a safe place or on the move can also work.
Working within a Psychodynamic approach means I put emphasis on you being at the center of the counselling process. One of the most important factors is the strength of our relationship as we work together to help you to explore what is happening in your life. I am here to help and listen to you and together we will build a safe and trustworthy relationship so you can feel unjudged, valued and most importantly heard.
Your well-being is important, and reaching out for help is a positive and brave decision. I look forward to the opportunity to support you towards making the right choices for you and gaining self awareness and self understanding.

Th purpose of Psychodynamic Counselling aims to set you free......
It is important you know who I am so that you can trust me and consider sharing your inner world with me free from judgement in a safe place.
When we spend time together I am committed to getting to know you and your unique life experiences to gain insight so we can tailor our time together in a way that is right for you.
Together we can learn to understand how your past has shaped you and use that knowledge and awareness to embrace new ways of being that help you feel settled within your own world.
My natural way is both warm and inquisitive to help you reconnect with your authentic self whilst you grow and deepen your understanding of yourself which can often be very moving, profound and empowering.
This process can help to ease the impact of stored emotions and empower you to have greater control over your thoughts and life.
We can often heal from our past and question our own behaviours, thoughts and feelings in a safe and non judgmental environment as we become our own best experts on what is right for yourself.
Most common issues I support people with:
We cannot teach anyone anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
If you feel tired of living with stress, self-doubt and anxiety? I can help you to become:
⦁ More assertive.
⦁ Less fearful of what others think of you.
⦁ Able to stand up for yourself.
⦁ Successful in achieving your goals.
⦁ Happy in your own skin.
⦁ Free from negative self thoughts like shame.
⦁ Less dependent on pleasing other people.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression, and you're looking for support to overcome these challenges, I can offer you the help you need. I am dedicated to working closely with my clients to uncover the underlying causes of their struggles and identify any factors that may be perpetuating them. Whether you need insight, analysis, or a gentle nudge, I am here to support you with empathy, understanding, and a touch of humor as we work towards achieving lasting positive change.
Located in Rainford, I have undergone extensive professional training that meets the highest standards set by BACP. As a qualified psychodynamic counsellor, I provide both online and in-person therapy sessions for individuals dealing with a wide range of issues, from life changing experiences, relationship challenges, grief, depression, and anxiety, to complex PTSD resulting from trauma and childhood experiences of sexual, psychological, and physical abuse.
