Introductory Offer - £30 applies to 1-2-1 walk & talk and traditional counselling sessions

I’ll be straight with you—this isn’t for everyone.

If you’re happy carrying on as you are, that’s fine.
But if you’ve been feeling stuck, low in yourself, or like you’ve lost a bit of direction, then it might be time to do something about it.

I’m offering a small number of 1-2-1 walk and talk and traditional counselling sessions in Blackpool.

This is not a group.
It is not a class.

It’s a private, straightforward space to:

  • Clear your head

  • Talk things through honestly

  • Start getting moving again—mentally and physically

My approach is simple:
No fluff. No jargon. No pretending.

Just honest conversation, practical thinking and forward movement.

I’m a BACP registered counsellor with a Master’s degree in Positive Psychology & Counselling, and I’ve spent over 40 years working in coaching, teaching and supporting people. I won’t dress things up—but I will listen, and I will help you face things properly.
