Counselling & Mental Health Service in a safe, welcoming & confidential setting
~ Compassionate ~ Professional ~ Empowering ~ Supportive ~
I'm Kate, a British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP) registered Dip. Counsellor & Mental Health Practitioner based in Chorley, Lancashire.
To accommodate the diverse needs of my clients, I cover all areas within Lancashire including Southport, Bolton and Wigan.
Whether you prefer in-person therapy in a comfortable setting or virtual sessions from the convenience of your own home, my practice is flexible to suit your lifestyle and preferences.
We all experience times of difficulty in our lives, when events or relationships feel overwhelming, or we can feel a loss of direction or purpose. Talking to a trained professional helps us make sense of those challenging times and offers a way through them, moving towards a better understanding of ourselves, our feelings and our emotions.
Making New, Meaningful Choices
As a counsellor my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self-discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it.

I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life.
How can counselling help you?
If something is affecting your quality of life, counselling can provide the support you need. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with a trained professional, you can gain new insights, a fresh perspective, develop coping strategies and foster personal growth, leading to profound transformations - a journey you must be ready to undertake.
In our sessions we will work together to:
- Identify & Understand your Emotions
- Develop Practical Coping Strategies
- Improve Communication & Relationships
- Enhance Self-Awareness & Confidence
- Foster Resilience & Emotional Balance
It takes bravery to confront your fears, doubts and insecurities - therapy provides a safe and confidential space to do so. Counselling allows you to break down emotional barriers, heal past wounds, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. but also pave the way for positive change and resilience.
Therapy can indeed provide a new perspective, boost confidence, and equip you with invaluable tools for navigating life's challenges. The willingness to engage in this process is a superpower in itself—one that empowers you to live authentically, embrace your vulnerabilities, and forge meaningful connections with others.
Counselling is beneficial for anyone looking to improve their mental and emotional well-being.
