Hi I'm Janet and here to support you with any issues that may be causing you distress or troubling you.

I offer a creative, intuitive approach in my counselling practice, using the person centred approach to help you explore your feelings in more depth. I am an empath by nature and offer this sincerely from the onset of our first meeting and through your personal healing journey. 

Neurodiversity

I am a specialist in neurodiversity and have supported many clients with ADHD & Autism with issues such as : Masking, overthinking, executive dysfunction and social anxiety.

I don't have a diagnosis of neurodiversity myself but can relate to both ADHD & Autistic traits. This enables my work with client's as I understand the workings of the neurodiverse mind.

I offer a personalised , individual approach with all my clients and work with their processes.

Coaching & Mentoring

I am a qualified and experienced coach and mentor offering solution focused techniques to help find solutions for any problems you feel stuck with. This could be wanting a career change, building self-esteem and other goal orientated problems.

As a coach/ mentor I will work with you to find your inner spark again and motivate you to create and find the positive life you deserve. We will work together to remove any blocks that are stopping you from moving forward in life.

Menopause Support & Wellness

I have gone through the menopause myself and know how difficult and debilitating it can be to deal with : hot flushes, brain fog and anxiety. I can help you find ways to work with this. We can look at your current lifestyle and find ways to help with nutrition, exercise and mindfulness.

Holistic Treatments

I believe the mind and body need balance to fully function. When we are stressed and overworked our bodies and mind with suffer. 

I am offering wellbeing treatments to calm the nervous system and mind.

Please get in touch and I will be here for you

I work from private therapy rooms in Harmony Counselling , St Helens. The rooms are warm and friendly , offering you a safe space to fully explore your feelings.

I use a private room in the upstairs of the building for holistic treatments. These include: Reiki treatments, Indian Head Massage and intuitive bodywork massage. 

My therapy sessions last for an hour and are offered for long-term therapy if this is what is needed. 

St Helens Bus station and train station are close by within a ten minute walk. 

All therapy rooms have comfortable seating and lighting to accommodate your needs.

When we first meet I will offer you a sincere, gentle welcome ensuring you feel comfortable in the room and with me. Lighting can be accommodated for your needs if it feels too bright.

On starting the session I will check you feel ready to start exploring your issues and feelings. If at any point during the session you feel things are getting too much or feel overwhelmed we can stop.  My aim is to make sure you feel safe and comfortable at all times.

I look forward to supporting my clients on their individual journeys back to positive wellbeing.

In the first part of your first session we will informally go through the contract of how we will work together. We will also go through an informal risk assessment questionnaire based on 10 questions to check how you have been feeling .  This is to check if there is any current risk to yourself and others.

When the risk assessment has been completed and we have had  a brief discussion about your answers we will then start the session.

I will offer a non-judgemental approach with plenty of empathy and understanding. We will go at your pace and work the way that is best for your process.

The session will last for an hour.  Towards the end of the session (around 10 minutes before finishing) I will let you know we are coming to the end.  This will give you a chance to slow down and reflect before the session comes to an end.

When the session comes to and end I will ask how you have felt and if you want to book the next session. There is no pressure from me at this point to re-book another session. You need to feel we have connected well and you are ready to explore your issues in more depth.

I am available for the following evenings and Saturdays mornings

Wednesday in person 10am-12pm  evenings online- 7-9pm 

Saturdays-10am-12pm  in person
