Formby Counsellor
Welcome to Formby Counsellor
Formby Counsellor offers a safe, professional and confidential environment to support adults and young people seeking counselling services.
The aim of counselling is to help you find better ways to understand yourself, or to bring about changes to help you manage the way you think or behave; changes to improve your mental and emotional well-being are facilitated within an empathic and non-judgemental environment provided by the counsellor.
The therapeutic relationship between the client and counsellor is paramount to the counselling process.
I am a fully qualified Person Centred Counsellor with years of experience of supporting both adults and young people in their journey towards happiness and contentment in their lives. I am also trained at post-graduate level as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), specialising in the treatment of Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Phobia. For more information please see the about me page.

The ‘Therapy Den’
I offer counselling services from my private counselling room, affectionately known as the ‘Therapy Den’, this is a purpose built facility in the garden of my home in Formby.
As you can see from the pictures, the ‘Therapy Den’ is secluded, secure and private.
Inside the room is welcoming, comfortable and cosy, providing a warm environment for clients to feel at ease and relaxed during their counselling session.
You’ve always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself.
