Counselling JCT Online Counselling in Cumbria, and Lancashire

Counselling is unique in that it is a place where you can come and talk about you, matters that are causing you emotional distress, or leaving you feeling overwhelmed, without anyone else being the focus.

It is a safe space in which I  professionally  provide you with emotional support, whilst helping you to identify your problems, as well as enabling you to move forward productively with your life.

Whilst talking through your concerns you will also be learning and developing new coping skills, that you can take forward in your life.

Having counselling is good for your  mental health and wellbeing. Just because wounds/scars/emotions are not visible, it does not mean that they are not there, affecting your day to day life.  We always ensure our car is in good working order, why not do the same for your mental wellbeing.

Counselling Sessions last around 50 minutes for individuals.

Supervision session last around 90 minutes for a supervisee.

There is no set length of time for you to be in counselling. I offer both short and long term counselling. Depending on what it is you want to work with and to what extent, will be a factor in how long your Counselling will last.  Please remember each one of us is unique and our needs are different.

Counselling can be from 6 weeks to a year or more.

I encourage new clients to come for at least six sessions before we review and discuss whether you wish to continue

No, please do not hesitate to make contact with me immediately.  Once you have contacted me directly,  we can make arrangements to meet and discuss what you feel you need.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and usually take place weekly.
