Lois Forman

My name is Lois, and I am a fully qualified, registered and insured counsellor. I offer face-to-face counselling for individuals aged 18 and over, in a safe and confidential space. My discreet and cosy counselling room is used solely for therapeutic purposes, and is on the ground floor of a residential property on the Sugar Way Estate. Your first 50 minute session is discounted at £20, and then sessions are £35 thereafter. I also offer concessionary rates to a limited number of trainee counsellors. As well as my private counselling work I also volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Care.

Perhaps you’re facing a difficult decision and aren’t sure what to do. Maybe well-meaning friends are offering advice that is confusing you even more. Perhaps you’re feeling very sad as though life has no meaning, or possibly your anxieties are becoming too much to cope with. Maybe you have OCD tendencies that are becoming extreme, or perhaps you’re self-harming, thinking about death a lot, or feeling suicidal.

Maybe your anger is taking over, and is beginning to feel out of control. Or possibly you just want someone to really listen when you talk. Some people come for counselling when nothing is wrong as such, but because they don't feel quite right either . These are just a few of the many reasons that someone might come for counselling.

I know that booking your first counselling session is daunting. All counsellors are required to attend regular counselling when in training, so I have been there myself, and remember the anxious feelings very well. I therefore hope to be able to put you at ease as soon as we make contact. So, if you're ready to get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
