Welcome to Amethyst Counselling​

 

You may be looking for counselling because you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much on your own. You might be:

• overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or overthinking

• exhausted from masking, people-pleasing, or trying to hold everything together

• affected by trauma, grief, or loss

• unsure of who you are, or how to feel more comfortable being yourself

• exploring neurodivergence, or want therapy that respects how your mind works.

• questioning or feeling judged about your identity or beginning to explore what being neurodivergent means for you

And looking for a counsellor who will work gently, collaboratively and at your pace.

​

Together, working from the principle that every mind is unique — not broken or wrong, simply different, I can help you to find the space to

​

• feel calmer and less overwhelmed

• slow down and feel heard

• understand yourself more deeply and why you feel the way you do

• process grief, trauma, or painful experiences at your own pace

• build confidence and self-trust

• cope more gently with difficult emotions

• recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck

• feel safer and more able to be yourself

• step back from people-pleasing

• unmask in a way that feels right for you

​

 However you arrive, counselling can give you space to pause, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to move forward. ​

​

How I Work

 

Therapy at Amethyst Counselling is a collaborative process. Together, we explore what helps you feel safe, understood, and empowered. My work draws on person-centred values, mindfulness, and gentle, evidence-based methods to help you manage anxiety, understand your emotions, and build self-trust.

​

Whether you identify as neurodivergent, feel different in some way, or are simply looking for a therapy space that respects your individuality, the support I offer is tailored to your way of thinking and feeling, not against it.

​

​

Where I Work

 

I offer sessions from Chorley (PR6) — easily reached from Preston, Bolton, and Wigan — and online nationwide via secure video or phone.

Both short-term and longer-term counselling are available.
