Andrea Finnerty

I recognise how  some life experiences can be difficult and feel too much to cope with having  made my own personal journey overcoming challenges.This is what led me to become a counsellor. My passion is supporting others to make changes for the better in their lives.I have experience working with adults and children on a wide range of  issues  including depression & anxiety, loss & grief, relationship issues, trauma & abuse and work related issues to name just a few. I particularly enjoy working with children & adolescents, watching them grow, finding their voice and  being able to express themselves in a more positive way. I practice in Poulton le fylde and Fleetwood office based  where there is accesability. I work face to face or remotely and offer home visits subject to initial assesment or where a client is housebound. My fees  are  subject to consessions for unemployed, senior citizens or students and my hours are flexible

I am a person centred counsellor which means I ptovide you with a safe spsce to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will listen without judgment. I will sipport you throughout your journey, working with you to find a resolution to your issues. I understand that one size does not fit all in therapy and therefore i work integratively with each individual client to suit their needs. I work ethically and therefore if I believe that you require a referral to a different therapy I will support you until this can be arranged. I practice confidentiality  in accordance with the law and in line with GDPR  and i follow BACP guidance so that i offer you the best practice.

In your first session you will recieve a warm welcome from myself and I will talk you through our contract. We will work together to assess your needs and what you aim to gain from counselling. Your wishes and needs will be noted and your personal details taken. You will then be given the opportunity to share what it is that has brought you to counselling.
