~ 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.
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.
