Counselling services
I offer 1-hour face-to-face sessions from my private practice in Chorley, Lancashire or online/telephone.
Prices are £55 per session and could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly, to suit your availability and finances.
I offer discounts for block bookings (weekly appointments only).
6 x 1-hour session is £300, payment in advance.
If you have a specific issue you’d like support with - such as making a decision, managing a situation, or gaining clarity on something in your life - I offer single session therapy. This one-off, focussed session can help you explore your thoughts, consider your options, and leave with a clearer sense of direction.
No ongoing commitment - just support when you need it most.
Prices are £75 for a 1.5 hour session.
Why might I seek counselling?
Counselling isn’t just about getting through tough times - it’s about giving yourself the space to grow, heal and feel more in control of your life.
Working with a counsellor can help you:
Feel heard and understood without fear of judgement
Make sense of your thoughts and emotions, especially when they feel overwhelming or confusing
Break free from unhelpful patterns that may be holding you back
Develop greater self-awareness and confidence in who you are
Build healthier relationships with others and yourself
Reduce stress, anxiety or low mood through new ways of coping
Process trauma or difficult life events in a safe and supported way
Find clarity and direction when you’re feeling lost or stuck
Counselling can be a turning point - a place where things begin to shift. It’s your time, your space, and your opportunity to feel more like yourself again.
