You may be looking for counselling because you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much. 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.

​
​Where I Work
I offer sessions from Chorley (PR6) — easily reached from Preston, Bolton, and Wigan — and online nationwide via secure video or phone.

Both short-term and longer-term counselling are available.

If you’d like to know more or see whether I’m the right fit for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch for a free short consultation. There’s no pressure — just a chance to ask any questions you may have.

NOTE – emails from me sometimes end up in the spam/junk folder so please check in there

I charge £60 per session which can be paid by card, bank transfer or cash.
