I offer individual counselling for adults aged 18 and over on Thursdays between 9am and 5pm, face-to-face at Cameron House in Lancaster, online or by telephone across the UK. Appointments are agreed in advance, subject to availability. Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £50.

You can enquire by message, ask a question or discuss a first counselling session. A free introductory telephone call of up to 20 minutes is available if you would find it helpful, but it is optional and there is no obligation to book.

I reply to enquiries and return calls during normal weekday business hours. Evening and weekend messages are picked up during those hours.

I offer person-centred counselling face-to-face in Lancaster, online and by telephone across the UK for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, bereavement, trauma, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, emotional exhaustion or a sense of feeling overwhelmed.

I have a particular interest in supporting people in demanding roles who are used to being the one others rely on.

My approach is grounded in empathy, acceptance and honesty. I do not tell clients what to do or position myself as the expert on their lives. Instead, I work alongside you at a pace that feels manageable, offering a calm and confidential space where you can speak openly and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing.

Many people come to counselling after coping outwardly for a long time while struggling internally. You may feel anxious, disconnected, low in mood, affected by grief or difficult relationships, or unsure why life no longer feels sustainable. You do not need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.

Alongside private practice, I also work in the charity sector supporting adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

Acoustic Counselling offers individual person-centred counselling for adults face-to-face at Cameron House in Lancaster, online and by telephone across the UK. Clients travelling from Morecambe and nearby areas are welcome. Sessions provide a calm, confidential and accepting space where you can explore whatever feels important, without being judged, analysed, rushed or told what to do.

The person-centred approach is based on the belief that people often move towards growth and change when they feel deeply heard, understood and accepted. I aim to offer empathy, honesty and acceptance so that you can begin to make sense of your own experiences in your own way.

You may want to explore anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, emotional exhaustion, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, work stress, retirement, identity or life changes. You may also simply feel that something is wrong but not yet know how to explain it. Both are welcome.

For online sessions, I mainly use Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, with other video platforms available by agreement. We confirm the platform and joining instructions before your session.

Telephone counselling is a full 50-minute session at £50. We agree a suitable time and discuss privacy and practical arrangements before beginning.

You can discuss a first counselling session by message. If you prefer, I also offer a free introductory telephone call of up to 20 minutes to answer your questions and help you decide whether working together feels right. The call is optional and is not a counselling session.

The first counselling session itself lasts 50 minutes and is charged at £50. During this session, we can begin to explore what has brought you to counselling, what you may hope for from the work, and any questions you have about confidentiality, telephone or online counselling, fees or how sessions usually work.
