Why counselling for Liverpool?

1. I work both in-person and online. If you move away from Liverpool or travel frequently, you can continue working with me online.
   
   
   
2. My office is an “away from it all” space — a place where you can come, sit, and be your authentic self.
   
   
   
3. No notes will go onto your medical or social services records.
   
   
   
4. There is usually no fixed or restricted number of sessions — it is up to you and me (mostly you).
   
   
   
5. A clean, comfortable, and welcoming room to be in.
   
   
   
6. Counselling for Liverpool is a truly independent, non-corporate service, not affiliated with any other businesses, counselling organisations, or statutory services (e.g. social services).

   • EMDR
     
   • Eye Movement Integration
     
   • IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy)
     
   • Lifespan Integration
     
   • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
     
   These approaches are not all available through the NHS or many other local organisations. This means I am more flexible and able to work at a deeper level. (See my experience and training)
   
   
   
9. In the NHS and charities, you are usually restricted by the number of sessions available and placed within organisational targets (how do I know this? — I have worked for them). You may be referred to group therapy or an online, self-help-style computer programme. These are often used as cost-cutting measures.
   
   
   
10. Good-quality tissues are always available — if you see me online, you’ll need to provide your own…
