About me and my therapy practice
Immediate support. No waiting lists. No referrals. Just the help you need, when you need it.
With over 20 years鈥� experience across local authorities, charities, and the voluntary sector, I鈥檝e supported older people, adults, young people, children, and families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. My background in social work, trauma鈥慽nformed practice, domestic abuse and youth support means I understand the real鈥憌orld pressures people face - and how overwhelming it can feel when life becomes too much.
Your Time Counselling Services brings together everything I鈥檝e learned professionally and personally. I offer warm, grounded, person鈥慶entred therapy tailored to each individual, couple of family group. Creating a space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin to move forward at your own pace.

Your First Steps With Me
I offer a free 30鈥憁inute phone consultation so you can get to know me, ask questions, and get a feel for how I work. If you decide to go ahead, we鈥檒l arrange your first counselling session.
If you choose in鈥憄erson support, you鈥檒l be welcomed into my office on Chorley New Road, where there is on鈥憇ite parking and amenities. I also do home visits and phone or online support, where you will receive a calm and reassuring welcome. I have a 100% retention rate from this point onwards.
Our first session is gentle and steady. We鈥檒l complete a working agreement and begin getting to know each other, exploring what you need and how I can best support you in the weeks ahead. With over 20 years experience working in social care - I pride myself on offering a tailor made individual service to adults, children, young people, families and couples.
Clients who work with me report feel 鈥渓ighter鈥� after therapy and they notice noticeable changes within 8-12 weeks.
Please feel free to contact me for an informal chat - you will be treated with courtesy, kindness and respect. It would be a privilege to support you.
