Dee
I am a fully qualified person-centred, CBT and couples therapist as well as a supervisor for counsellors.
I offer talking therapy in a confidential, safe and relaxing environment. It may be easier to talk about personal issues, in an alternative place, with someone who is not involved and is totally non-judgemental.
Counselling is my passion! I believe we were born to be real...not perfect. My belief in the process, how it works and in particular how the working alliance can help you to move forward never stops.
Person Centred Counselling is a non-directive approach. It provides therapeutic support and enables you, the client, to utilise free thinking. It is a highly effective way of personal growth. CBT counselling enables you to examine your thoughts with a behavioural approach.
Our sessions together will be in an environment where you are free to express any emotions and feelings. This can be with the aim for you to see yourself as a person who can change and has the freedom to do so within the therapeutic counselling process. Counselling can be useful to explore present and past issues. It can help with many emotions and feelings if you feel anxious, angry, worried, depressed, confused, bereaved or have low self esteem.

My background includes working in special education needs, youth service and residential care settings holding roles in management, coaching and mentoring. I worked in these sectors for 16 years before I qualified as a counsellor in 202o. I Dee and I founded Counselling West Lancs, offering mental health services across west Lancashire. I'm very passionate about Psychoeducation, helping people help themselves.
Everyone is unique and we all experience life differently, this can sometimes make it difficult to feel understood. It's your journey and I would like to offer a place for you to feel safe and gain confident in expressing yourself.
The journey you will start in counselling could be the gateway to healing processes, building self-belief and confidence or finding acceptance. I work with my clients to find the best way to work collaboratively so they can learn new things about themselves in a safe and comfortable environment, supported by a trusting counselling relationship.
