Brambleside Counselling, Euxton

03/05/2026

Good morning! One thing I get asked a lot is how the Counselling process works, and so I thought I’d put together this little infographic to show it.

It starts with a message - and this can often be the hardest part to do. We often hear how asking for help is a sign of weakness and we should just ‘get on with it’; but this can take such a toll, mentally and physically. Mental and emotional stress can have real detrimental effects on the body, believe me I know from experience!

We can then get together for a quick chat, where we get to know one another and see if I’m the right fit for you. You’re under no obligation to continue, and can change your mind at any time.

If you decide to go ahead, we can book in a session for a time that works for you. Your first session will be a gentle exploration of why you’ve come for Counselling, and can often be quite emotional. There’s no judgement in that space; just calm, supportive listening.

Ongoing support will be for as long as you need it. There’s no expectation on frequency or number of sessions; some need only a few to work through a particular event, some need more long term support. Either way, we go at a pace that works for you.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in, drop me a message. Everything is confidential, and you can ask as many questions as you need.

💜💙💜

🌿 You don’t have to have it all figured out.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite yourself, you’re not alone.

Counselling offers a space where you can talk openly; without judgement, without pressure, and at your own pace.

You don’t need the “right words” or a clear reason to reach out. Just a sense that something isn’t quite right is enough.

I offer person-centred counselling in Chorley and online, supporting:

* Anxiety
* ADHD / Autism / Neurodiversity
* Low mood / depression
* Self-esteem

💜 A calm, confidential space to be heard and understood

I offer a 30-minute introduction so you can see if it feels right for you.

✉️ Message me to get started

Whether you need space to talk, or space to simply be, you’re welcome here.

🌿 Monday Morning Check-In 🌿

Mondays can feel heavy.

A new week, a full to-do list, expectations already creeping in…before you get swept up in it all, take a moment.

How are you feeling this morning?

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to be “on it” straight away. It’s okay to ease into the day at your own pace.

If things feel a little too much right now, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk things through—no judgement, no advice, just listening.

💬 If you feel ready, you’re welcome to reach out for a chat.

Spotted this beautiful cherry blossom today on a quiet walk through the park 🌸
A reminder that growth can be quiet, gentle, and still incredibly powerful.
If you’re navigating something at the moment, you don’t have to do it alone.
My door is always open — no judgement, no advice, just listening.

Spring is here, and as the seasons begin to change, you might notice shifts in yourself too —
or you might not… and that’s okay.

There’s no right way to feel, and no pressure to have it all figured out.

If things feel heavy, stuck, or a little unclear, you don’t have to sit with it alone.
I offer a calm, supportive space with no judgement, no advice — just someone to listen.

You’re always welcome to message me if you’d like to explore counselling, or ask any questions you may have, with no pressure and no obligation.

It’s finally Friday! 💜
If you’re heading into the weekend feeling frazzled or overwhelmed, take a moment to breathe — you’ve made it through another week.

I’ve been reminded lately how important it is to give ourselves permission to rest, especially for those of us whose minds never seem to switch off (hello fellow ADHD and autistic brains 🙋‍♀️).

Whatever your weekend looks like, I hope you find a bit of calm in it. 🌸
And if you ever feel like you’d like some extra support, that’s exactly what I offer through Brambleside Counselling — a safe, understanding space to just be you 💜
