Monday to Friday 9:30 - 5pm

I offer warm, supportive and thoughtfully reflective clinical supervision for counsellors and trainee counsellors, in person in Chorley and online across the UK.

I see supervision as a collaborative relationship where you can bring your client work, your questions, your uncertainties and your strengths. It is a space to pause, think and feel into the work, to notice what may be happening for your clients and for you, and to deepen your confidence in the way you practise.

My approach is relational, compassionate and gently challenging. I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to be open and honest, without fear of judgement. Alongside exploring client work, supervision can also be a place to reflect on ethical dilemmas, professional development, self-trust and the emotional impact of the work.

My supervision is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. I understand that people experience, process and communicate in different ways, and I value working in a way that honours this. I aim to adapt supervision to you as an individual, including your pace, communication style and way of making sense of things, so that you can feel able to show up as yourself.

I originally trained in person-centred counselling and now work integratively, drawing on additional training in EMDR, CBT, NLP, Compassion Focused Therapy and EFT. My experience includes private practice, EAP work and specialist bereavement support, including bereavement by suicide.

I offer supervision for qualified and trainee counsellors working face to face, online or by telephone. I also offer a free initial 20-minute session so we can get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.

I work from my welcoming office on the 1st floor of a small building in Adlington.  Sessions can be conducted Face to Face, online or over the phone.

I can offer one off sessions to cover breaks in supervision or regular, longer term supervision.

The fee is £60 however I also offer concessions

I can offer an initial free 20 minute session so you can see if I and the way I work aligns with your needs and to see if we are a good fit.

Initially we will discuss the contract, confidentiality, boundaries etc. before talking through what you need and want from supervision and what I can offer.

Tuesdays 9:30 - 4pm

Wednesdays 9:30 - 3pm

Thursdays 9:30 - 4pm

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted ? I offer warm, neurodiversity-affirming counselling to help you feel calmer, understand yourself more and feel happier in yourself. Based in Chorley and online

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
• confused about your identity or beginning to explore what being neurodivergent means for you

Together, we can work toward helping you to;

• ​feel calmer and less overwhelmed
• 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

​Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, 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.”

I offer face to face, online or telephone counselling which is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma informed, to help you talk through whatever you are going through without fear of being judged or of upsetting someone.
