In Person Counselling in Liverpool

With 30 years of experience as a BACP registered therapist, I provide authentic, compassionate and insightful support. You may be feeling unhappy and 'stuck' at this point in your life, or may be confused about your life in general. Our past has influenced our present but does not have to determine our future. With support, we can move on and understand ourselves and this is why talking therapy is so useful. We all experience difficulties in life and although you may feel alone, be assured that others have felt the way that you do. I am aware that finding the right therapist can be confusing, hence my low-cost introductory session

I am a mental health practitioner in CAMHS, specialising in working therapeutically with children and young people with mental health difficulties including anxiety, depression and behavioural difficulties; often experienced complex trauma and attachment issues. Yogi Buddies aims to make therapy accessible for all children and make therapy child-friendly, not an experience for a child to fear! Yogi Buddies uses a trauma-informed yoga therapy approach (BPS accredited) which is ideal for children who are not able to engage with traditional talking therapies and respond negatively​ to professionals.

We all have times when we feel lost, alone or misunderstood. We want things to change but we don’t know how. Unsure of what we want we may talk to family or friends, but all they do is offer opinions. Sometimes we have no one to talk to and remain trapped in isolation unsure of own truth. This is where counselling can help.

Having practised as a therapist for twenty years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Counselling can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and confusion and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

Life can be challenging do you feel you're not coping you may feel anxious, angry or low. You might be stuck in a circle of over thinking; I am here to help and ultimately offer a safe environment. I have also been where you are which has given me a deep understanding, I have trained in a broad spectrum of therapy's including psychodynamics, cognitive behaviour therapy and transactional analysis to name a few but to me everyone is an individual so I will tailor the therapy to YOUR needs if you feel that now is the time to take those steps towards a happier you, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I believe we are all unique and therefore one size doesn't fit all so I will use a range of skills to suit where you are at this time in your life. The skills I use will vary as you move on your journey so the skills I will use will accompany you. I have been working with people 26 years having qualified in 1997 and I am passionate about the work I do. It is gratifying to be part of a person's journey from troubled or stuck to open and free to be themselves.

"Both our anxiety and our fear need to be understood and respected, perhaps even befriended. We need to pull up a chair and sit with them, understand why they're showing up, and ask ourselves what there is to learn." (Brené Brown) The above quote is a helpful way to see how the therapeutic relationship works; together we will explore what you are feelings and experiencing, and together we will sit with them and explore them, seeking to understand them. Whatever you are currently going through, the starting point is that you find a space where you can speak freely about, and from that place you can begin to "speak yourself free".

Within my practice I provide a safe, non-judgemental, professional and confidential environment in which you can explore whatever you feel necessary. Through exploring these issues, we can both begin to understand what is happening and why. This process can assist in self-understanding which in-turn boosts self-confidence and compassion. With this knowledge you may then become empowered to make the necessary changes needed in your life to address whatever has been causing the discomfort.

I specialize in working with clients who, despite their busy pursuit of success, feel overwhelmed by their emotions and struggle under the weight of their painful pasts. I provide a safe, calm, and creative space to process feelings amidst hectic lives. In our sessions, we explore the causes of emotional distress, identify patterns holding you back, and work through past experiences impacting your present. Using traditional therapeutic techniques and creative methods, I help you reconnect with your true self, and to support you with healing, fostering resilience, clarity, and a more balanced, meaningful life.

Hi I'm Michelle Richards, Creative arts Therapist /Drama Therapist. I provide services for people who would like to learn effective and creative ways to process their emotions.

Through private one to one sessions, group workshops or via online Programmes I will assist you to learn important themes and practical techniques which will enhance your Emotional Empowerment and your ability to relate to others.

Most people find themselves in dark or confusing places at times throughout their lives, questioning who they are, wrestling with difficult questions, trauma, illness, addiction or bereavement. Sometimes people don't have anyone to share these challenges with or can't share them with those close to them. Despite proverbs about sharing problems, as a society we don't really encourage people to open up. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to do this. I hope to offer a space in which you can feel safe and respected while you explore these challenges and move towards improved mental well being.

Does your life look great on the outside?  To everyone else? Do you ever think that you know you should be happy, ok, fine and able to ‘just get on with it’?  And yet….you just know in 'your bones’ you’re not ok, happy or fine…despite what you may be presenting to the rest of the world. If that resonates, maybe we could talk. I offer my clients an opportunity to stop, really stop and to ask themselves questions - that might feel too big to ask on your own or to burden your friends with - and then listen to the answer. I also look at the contexts you exist in, and how these have shaped and continue to shape you in the here and now.

I believe the relationship between the client and counsellor is hugely important. I am a warm and approachable person, focused on putting you at ease. At times in life, it can feel that people don't understand us, like we are being judged for the way we feel. It can be helpful to communicate these thoughts and emotions to gain a clarity and understanding to help you find a more fulfilling way of living. From personal experience, I understand that counselling can help make profound changes in their lives and relationships. These changes happen through a greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves.
