Ruth | Therapeutic Counsellor

Counselling, Life coaching, EMDR therapy Chorley

You may be looking for counselling because you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much on your own. You might be:

• overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or overthinking

• exhausted from masking, people-pleasing, or trying to hold everything together

• affected by trauma, grief, or loss

• unsure of who you are, or how to feel more comfortable being yourself

• confused about your identity or beginning to explore what being neurodivergent means for you

Together, we can work toward helping you to;

​

• feel calmer and less overwhelmed

• understand yourself more deeply and why you feel the way you do

• process grief, trauma, or painful experiences at your own pace

• build confidence and self-trust

• cope more gently with difficult emotions

• recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck

• feel safer and more able to be yourself

• step back from people-pleasing

• unmask in a way that feels right for you

​

Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, counselling can give you space to pause, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to move forward.​

How I Work

 Therapy at Amethyst Counselling is a collaborative process, together, we explore what helps you feel safe, understood, and empowered. My work draws on person-centred values, mindfulness, and gentle, evidence-based methods to help you manage anxiety, understand your emotions, and build self-trust.

​

Whether you identify as neurodivergent, feel different in some way, or are simply looking for a therapy space that respects your individuality, the support I offer is tailored to your way of thinking and feeling — not against it.”
