About me and my therapy practice

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.â€

​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 arrange a free short consultation, please get in touch.

Practice description

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

I offer face to face, online or telephone counselling which is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma informed, to help you talk through whatever you are going through without fear of being judged or of upsetting someone. Somewhere  you can sort through the tangle in your head/life, take control of your thoughts , feel more confident in you and the decisions you make and break free from old habits. 

You may well be finding it hard to find someone you’re able to open up to just from reading a few words online. Why not get in touch for an informal chat so you feel at ease when choosing me to support you during this difficult time in your life.

Sessions are confidential.

For more information please contact me for more information/any questions

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

My first session

In the first session we will discuss what I call the counselling agreement - this sets out the boundaries of how we will work together, the time frame, frequency of sessions, confidentiality etc. We will then talk about what has brought you into counselling, the things you want to work on and the things you want to achieve as well as what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. You will also be able to ask me any questions you have about counselling.

About me and my therapy practice

I offer compassion focussed Supervision looking at all areas of your work (based on the seven eyed model of supervision) to empower you to be the best counsellor and you that you can be. Supervision is there for you to explore how you work, how the work/client affects you and how you affect the work/client, my aim is to help you explore all of this in a safe space, with no judgment and gentle challenges.

​

I have been a qualified counsellor since 2018, initially training in Person Centred Counselling but have since added to my 'tool box' with things such as EMDR, CBT, NLP, Compassion Focussed Therapy and EFT (tapping) so now describe myself as working more in an Integrative way. I currently work in my own private practice but have in the past worked for a company offering EAP type counselling along with specialist bereavement counselling - particularly for those bereaved by suicide. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem and bereavement and in the past have worked as a nurse, midwife and in a women's centre. 

​

Supervision, like counselling itself, is a relational experience, it is so important to find a supervisor who you feel fits with you and your way of working, who can challenge you in the way you want to be challenged and help you explore you and your work in the way that fits for you so why not send me a message, ask me questions and even have an initial session to see if I am the right fit.

Practice description

I work from my welcoming office on the 1st floor of a small building in Adlington.  Sessions can be conducted Face to Face, online or over the phone.

I can offer one off sessions to cover breaks in supervision or regular, longer term supervision.

My first session

I can offer an initial free 30 minute session so you c an see if the way I work aligns with your needs and to see if we are a good fit.


Initially we will discuss the contract, confidentiality, boundaries etc. before talking through what you need and want from supervision and what I can offer.
