Counselling in PR2

Whatever difficulties you may be facing, I am here to help. I have more than 15 years experience supporting adults, children and teenagers with a wide range of emotional, behavioural and mental heath issues. I believe the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to the outcome of therapy, and provide warmth, understanding and a safe space to help you explore your thoughts and feelings with the aim of increasing your self-awareness and ability to manage your emotions and problems. I offer a free initial consulation to discuss the issues that have brought you to seek therapy and to explore how I may be able to help you.

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.

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.

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 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.

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’m Claire and I offer compassionate, care-filled therapy with a particular interest in working with people facing anxiety, grief and burnout. I'm neuroaffirming and have lived experience of neurodivergence. I work in a way that is intuitive and kind, and enjoy bringing creative approaches to my therapeutic practice.

Sometimes life can be tough and talking about the challenges and struggles we go through with our loved ones can be even more difficult and it can leave us feeling isolated and lonely. Asking for help is not easy and if you have not experienced counselling before you may find your self asking the question, do i need counselling? If you feel the need to gain insight and self awareness than counselling is a safe place for you to start your journey of self healing. We are living in the time of uncertainty and many of us are feeling stressed and anxious.It can be helpful to talk to a professional who can provide an outside perspective.
