Amethyst Counselling and Supervision in Chorley (PR6) Lancashire

.

Welcome to Amethyst Counselling

 

At Amethyst Counselling, I offer a warm, understanding space for adults, a place where you can begin to untangle your thoughts, make sense of what you’ve experienced, and regain a sense of control and direction in your life.

 

I specialise in anxiety, trauma recovery, bereavement, and self-esteem, always through a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed approach. Whether you identify as neurodivergent (in any of its forms), different or none of these therapy is tailored to work with your unique way of thinking and feeling — not against it.

 

Sessions are available in-person in Chorley, Lancashire, as Walk and Talk therapy, or online across the UK.

​

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.

 

I believe that neurodivergent experiences are differences, not deficits. My role is to help you view your challenges through this affirming lens, supporting self-acceptance and resilience.

​

What Counselling Can Help You Do

 

• Learn effective strategies to cope with and process anxiety and trauma so you can feel calmer and more relaxed.
• Understand past experiences and find ways to carry them forward that feel right for you.
• Gain clarity and insight through discussion and reflection.
• Identify and change patterns of thought or behaviour that hold you back.
• Develop new ways to handle challenging emotions and situations.
• Build confidence and strengthen self-esteem.

​

Who I Support

 

You might come to counselling because you feel:
• Overwhelmed by anxiety or stress
• Exhausted by masking or people-pleasing
• Disconnected after trauma or loss
• Unsure about your identity or how to embrace being neurodivergent

 

Together, we can work toward clarity, confidence, and a sense of calm at your pace.

​
