Psychotherapy and Counselling Padiham

Counselling can be a daunting and intimidating process in itself and it takes courage to trust another person with your inner world, so my aim is to make the process as easy as possible for you. Having therapy can be life changing and promote healing by enabling you to see your circumstances with a fresh perspective and clarity so that you can make the necessary changes that will help you establish emotional resilience and provide you with the tools to manage life better. Sometimes, it can simply be a place to talk and be truly heard.

Clients very often find that counselling helps them to achieve:

- Increased self-esteem & confidence

- Improvement in relationships

- Better understanding of themselves

- Increased ability to express themselves

- Find different ways to cope with problems

- Feel more in control of their life.

To help you overcome difficulties, I provide Person-Centred counselling & psychotherapy. You will be welcomed into a safe, welcoming, and confidential place with no judgement or need to be anyone else but yourself and the freedom to talk about anything you want to talk about during the session. Nobody knows you better than yourself, and I will not make decisions for you or impose any opinions but will respect your individuality and tailor treatment to your personal needs.

My aim is not only to support you and help you cope with the current issue or crisis, but to do so in a way that helps you explore and use your own strengths to feel empowered and more in charge of your life.

I work with adults and young people, aged 16 years old and above, and have experience working with a range of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety and depression, relationship issues, adult and childhood trauma, stress, work/life balance, burnout, loss, identity, self-harm, low self-esteem, infertility, and miscarriage.

I also had a previous career in international management roles in large corporations and my understanding of demands and expectations in terms of work/life balance is extensive. I am multilingual (English, French & Portuguese) and this multicultural background has enriched my life and my therapeutic practice.

If you contact me, we can arrange an initial free consultation to talk about what you want to get out of counselling, with no pressure to commit. If you decide to work with me, our counselling sessions will typically be held at a regular time on a weekly basis (unless agreed otherwise), each lasting 50 minutes.

Online therapy

Many difficulties people are facing can be worked with online. Online therapy can be just as effective as therapy in person and there are many additional advantages to accessing support in this way:

You are not restricted by location – you can choose the right therapist for you, rather than having to base your choice on them being geographically closest to you.
Therapists who work online are often able to offer more flexibility in appointment times (early mornings or evenings for example). Some clients are also able to do online counselling during the workday, which suits them better than travelling from work or having to arrange childcare.
Accessing therapy from your home means you can be comfortable in your own surroundings with no need to travel to a counsellor’s premises.
Physical disabilities or psychological difficulties are no barrier to you getting the support you need.
You may feel safer to talk and more at ease, in the comfort of your own home, with a cuppa.

I provide online counselling via a secure video platform (Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp or telephone), enabling you to access therapy in a place that feels safe and convenient for you. This could be your home, your office, whilst you're on a walk, or even from your car, as long as it’s parked safely and you have the privacy you need to have your therapy session.

You will need a computer, tablet or smartphone. I encourage the use of headphones or earphones to increase the feeling of privacy and improve sound quality. If using Zoom or Google Meet, you do not need to download the apps as I will just send you a direct link to our session. It is important when working this way that you feel comfortable and that this is suitable for the difficulties you are facing.
