Female Counselling in Preston, ENG

If you are struggling with something that is preventing you from being your true self, it can help if you talk to someone who will profoundly listen and understand you. We all go through struggles in life and need support with things. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and a University lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Currently I provide home visits, outdoor walk and talk sessions within nature settings and online or phone sessions.

Hi, sex and relationship problems, working with couples and individuals is my main focus. I have trained as a general counsellor supporting people who suffer with difficulties relating to all lifes problems and challenges. I have also trained as a psychosexual therapist and at present I am continuing to study, researching the effects of online pornography on couples and the impact it has on their relationship. I believe that change is possible whatever challenges the journey involves. I work with a positive and optimistic out look, remaining non judgmental and empathic at all times. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Often clients contact me when other therapy has not helped them in the way they had hoped. This is often due to the complexity of difficulties being layered perhaps in a history of trauma. Distress in the body and mind can be triggered by what appears to be something superficial. This can open up the past or come at a time when our emotional resilience is low so this event has a greater impact than it may have done. We can find ourselves not being able to function in our normal way. Many clients often identify as 'good copers' and those who 'just get on with it'. Perhaps we can't now - this is frightening and can derail us.

Calming-Minds are able to offer highly skilled, therapeutic interventions for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, panic, OCD or PTSD. These include CBT, CFT, EMDR and TF-CBT. If you are seeking support to re-claim your life, and become the best version of yourself, then please do contact us.

This is the place I’ve created where together we can look at your unique path to creating your happier self. I offer person centred counselling for a variety of issues both in person and on the phone, this is a safe place to put the jigsaw back together and get an idea of the bigger picture of your life. As an integrative therapist I’m not here to judge you, overwhelm you with homework and goal setting, I’m simply here to understand you, empathize with you, and help hold the pain you may be feeling right now.

I use a range of approaches to suit the client. I work well with a range of issues including, relationships, past trauma, personality disorders (BPD), people who are feeling lost, struggling to move on from the past, maybe affected by bullying, toxic relationships, addiction or addictive behaviour. I can address many issues and teach new skills; for example, navigating relationships in a healthier way, regulating emotions, communication skills, improving confidence and self worth. I am a friend of LGBTQ+; I have over 19 years experience and am still as passionate as the day I started. Thank you for checking me out.

Through one-to-one therapy sessions, I can support you to find clarity, calm, balance, and the tools to live a more fulfilled life as the very best version of you.

I am a qualified therapeutic Integrative Counsellor supporting children, adolescents & adults, either face to face, by telephone, online or home visits. Are you or your child finding it difficult to cope or manage with everyday situations and find life a struggle.

Hello, welcome to Therapy NorthWest. We support the wellbeing of adults & young people in clinics in Chorley & surrounding areas. We believe that life can be challenging with a number of different pressures & demands. We do not believe that these things make us ‘abnormal’ or ‘ill’, rather that there are times when we require support to work through difficulties, what has happened and how we have responded. Zandra has many years experience working with individuals, couples, families and systems to help foster greater well-being.

I am a fully qualified Integrative Psychotherapist offering high quality therapy to clients with complex needs. I have experience of working with clients with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues and breakdown, PTSD, isolation, attachment issues, child hood trauma and self harm. My specialism has focussed on supporting clients who also battle addiction and I also have specific training on supporting survivors of rape and sexual assault. I value myself as a therapist who can tailor my therapy to meet the needs of my clients and integrates many psychological schools to do this.

Do you feel that you’ve lost touch with your real ‘self’? Perhaps life has taken you down a path you hadn’t expected. You might be looking at your relationships and career and wondering why you feel the way you do. This can leave you feeling lonely, anxious and depressed and every other emotion in between. Talking these things through with someone can help you to unravel your thoughts and feelings and find a way forward. If this is what you're looking for, I can offer face to face counselling at my practice which is based in Blackpool on the beautiful Fylde Coast.

If you are looking for help with depression, anxiety and anger issues please email me. I am an experienced integrative therapist who can help you sort through your negative feelings, help you understand why you feel that way, and give you coping strategies and practical tips to help you feel better about yourself. I believe therapy should be as comfortable as possible and aim to take away the fear, I want you to feel safe talking to me and know that you're not being judged. I want to help you raise your self-esteem, control your anger and your anxiety, and deal with many other feelings positively and be happier and more balanced.

I fully understand how challenging life can be at times, and sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Our worries can create feelings of anxiety and depression, which can in turn make us feel isolated, alone and misunderstood. Having a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through whatever is on your mind can be incredibly powerful in enabling you to unburden and begin to heal. By being truly listened to, perhaps for the first time, I believe you can start to make sense of your experiences and find solutions to whatever is troubling you.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. My training is 'Integrative’ which means that I work with distress, trauma, and all of life's difficulties in a way which seeks to create,or recreate, a sense of wholeness and relationship. I want to work with you in partnership, seeking to understand together what’s troubling you, and where things might have got stuck. We will talk about the past, as all therapists do, but I also want to help you think about what is going on for you now. The things which have brought you to therapy.

Is relentless stress leaving you burned out, sleepless, and drained of energy? Do you feel like your mind and body are out of sync—constantly on high alert, wanting to escape, or zoning out—signs of nervous system strain? Do you want a better work-life balance, improved well-being, effective stress management, better sleep, and more energy? Do you need supportive guidance and practical strategies to not just get by but to thrive and feel truly fulfilled?

Life, and our lived experience of it, is complex. Often times we choose not to look into this complexity for fear of being overwhelmed by unwanted truths and emotions. This approach may work for some of us for a while, however for most - life will confront us with pain that is difficult to ignore. The avoidance of this pain or reality is what leads to mental health symptoms and prolonged distress. However, life does not need to be so difficult. If you would like to make sense of your life and unique lived experienced in order to lead a more fulfilled existence, please get in touch.

I work with men mainly (but anybody) who struggles with anger issues. Do you struggle with your anger? Wonder why you get so angry so quickly, going from 0 to 100 within a split second? Ever wanted to work on this because it has ruined relationships, you may have lost a job through your anger or lost friends/family because they can't deal with your outbursts? If this is you then I want to help you. Anger can make us lonely and unhappy - let me help you deal with it in a more healthy way so you can become a happier person in yourself and build those relationships you may have lost/ruined.
