Life isn't easy and we all need help at times. Nobody should feel that there is nowhere to turn; I'd like to help you find a way forward. Hi my name is Kay; I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. Thank you for viewing my profile. I have studied with the Online Therapy Institute and am a qualified Cyber Therapist. I work within the Ethical Framework set out with the BACP, I attend monthly supervision and continue my professional development. I have worked in the 'talking therapy' industry for over 15 years. I also worked closely with families on a range of issues including housing, bereavement, family breakdown, relationships and immigration while working as a school counsellor and Family Liaison Officer. I often found that I was counselling them as well as offering practical help and strategies. This led me into training as a Counsellor and a change of career. I have worked as a counsellor for 'MIND' working with clients with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, debt problems, relationships. I have also worked counselling clients with alcoholism and addiction problems while working for ADAS, (Alcohol Drug Advisory Service).

About me I'm a counselor and psychotherapist who works with adults and young people. I offer 1-1 and group therapy, Clinical supervision, teaching on counselling courses, online therapy and couples counselling. I have a credible professional reputation in the public service sector and have been working with adults and young people for the last 20 years. I'm also accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. My approach is non-judgmental and I offer a secure and nurturing therapeutic space to help you through your difficulties and anxieties at your own pace. I work with all issues that can cause distress, anxiety and depression that can lead to phobias, addictions, self-destructive emotions which create destructive consequences in life for people. I have a lot of experience of working with the effects of trauma and can help you rebuild a grounded sense of self from the often shattering experience of trauma. Also as I have been working in the field for a long time I have a lot of experience in most areas of difficulty. My service report for my part-time counselling job indicated I have a 86 % success rate. I believe in allowing people the space to explore what they need in the time they need to do this. People always comment on my warm and nurturing presence and my ability to really understand what they are going through. I believe a lot of problems can make you feel isolated in the world and having some to talk to who truly listens helps you feel acknowledged and accepted. If you feel this sounds right for you then call me on the number or drop me an email. I will conduct a small telephone referral assessment before we begin the work. In which we will set the time for your first session. I believe in providing people with the best possible service for their money. That's why I am very disciplined with my own care. As scientific research highlights that the therapist engaged in their own psychological health through mindfulness or other practices similar are more in-tune with their clients empathically. As a teacher of counselling, I understand that ethically it is important that you are in the best of health so you can support someone else. As it affects the ability to offer the conditions necessary for change to happen. You pay for a high-quality service when choosing me as your therapist and I will always be genuine and caring and most importantly treat you with respect and dignity. You will always find me helpful when you email me and from that point on you make the decision yourself.

Before training as a clinical counsellor/therapist, I lectured in computing and Information technology in Merseyside and Manchester for over 15 years. I gained counselling experience in this role as one of my duties was to counsel students. I subsequently qualified with a Masters in clinical counselling in 2011. I worked in a charity organisation in Accrington, Lancashire for four years before deciding to set up my private practice in Southport. I have a special interest in addiction and compulsive thinking/behaviour having researched this area as part of my Masters qualification. I have experience dealing with addictions, OCD, anxiety, eating disorders and depression. I am a person centred counsellor and I tailor my approach to adapt to the needs of each client and offer what will be most helpful to them. I work on the principle that the most significant aspect of counselling is to establish a working relationship with a client that is based on confidentiality, trust and safety.

Hello, I'm Heather. I'm a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with over 17 years post-registration experience. I have private and voluntary sector experience supporting people to find mental well being and balance. My regular practice involves supporting people suffering in their lives; sometimes it's relationship issues that are the difficulty, sometimes it's stress, anxiety and/or depression. I also have specific experience in working with students (Sheffield Hallam University), bereavement (Cruse Bereavement Care), people suffering with eating disorders and gender dysphoria. Everyone I work with is individual with specific needs and concerns and it is my aim to work with you to meet your needs and achieve your therapeutic goals.

I am BACP Integrative counsellor with over 9 years experience in all types of addictions (gambling, sex, drugs and alcohol) both in my private practice and within NHS umbrella I also specialise in all forms for Abuse, Trauma, Inner child work, stress, anxiety and depression, bereavement . In recent years due to increased demand from my clients I started to offer both telephone and video online counselling that proved to be not only very convenient but also very safe for my clients to open and explore their issues. The skills that I have developed since, demonstrate that I am comfortable working and communicating with people from all backgrounds. Thank you for taking time to look at my profile and I am looking forward to our work together.

Prior to retraining as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I was an Information Technology professional for 25 years where I learnt about the pressures and stresses of corporate life and the demands of meeting deadlines and targets. I am now a qualified and accredited psychotherapist with over 5000 hours of experience both in private practice and in the NHS where I work with people with a broad range of often complex presentations.

I have over twenty-five years’ experience working in the field of well-being as a mental health professional supporting clients with a variety of emotional and psychological difficulties. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse client demographic and as a result I harbour a deep appreciation of the uniqueness and individuality of my clients and the issues they bring to therapy. My approach to therapy is to respond to my clients as unique individuals and as such over the years I have developed skills that enable me to utilise a variety of therapeutic approaches. I have a particular interest in anxiety, low mood states and addictive behaviour. As a result I have been able to develop skills and resources to enable me deliver a therapeutic programme that facilitates an understanding of the root cause of emotional problems as well as the management of such issues. I work in a holistic fashion which nurtures strengths and individual potential.

Hello, my name is Ann and I am a registered member of the BACP. I have significant experience in online counselling and as a result I firmly believe in its benefits. I have done online and phone counselling myself and I found it to be effective. I've worked with lots of people who have never experienced counselling before and I am aware that this can be an anxiety provoking and nervous experience. However, based on my experience I am of the opinion that the release of speaking about something which you may have kept private for a long time is extremely cathartic. If you've come this far, I can offer you confidential and encouraging support through whatever it is you wish to work through. You may not even know what that is! Just that it might be time to talk to someone. My previous career was in the corporate world where I worked for over fifteen years in the beer industry. I'm an American expatriate having first moved to London in 2004. One of my special areas of interest is helping American expats adjust emotionally and psychologically with all the differences they face in the United Kingdom. I know because I faced the same challenges. In addition, I can work with any issue you wish to bring to me. As a registered member of BACP, I am committed to my continual personal and professional development and also work in accordance with their ethical framework for good practice.

I have 15 years experience in delivering counselling over a vast range of issues. I offer a direct and highly compassionate way of working. If you have any queries at all about what I offer, please feel free to send me a message.
