Accessing Counselling in 2024

If you are looking for counselling in Lancaster in 2024, I’m glad that you have found me at Well Life Counselling. I can offer you counselling either in person or online via Zoom or similar. As a direct result of the COVID pandemic, we are seeing more and more counselling being delivered online and, it […]

Available Counselling & Psychotherapy

Counselling & Psychotherapy is currently available both in person in Lancaster or online using Zoom. Online therapy is very mainstream these days, particularly post-pandemic. It offers flexibility and convenience and is just as effective as in-person therapy.

Counselling Availability

Please note that I will be unable to take on new clients until July 2023. If you would like counselling with me, I will be able to receive your enquiry by email from Monday 26 June 2023. I apologise for any inconvenience.

Can you access counselling right now?

Now we are in 2021, the uncertainty continues as we move into further Coronavirus restrictions. If you need help with something in your life right now, you can still receive counselling and psychotherapy.

Therapists are moving more and more to remote working – that is, holding sessions by remote means (Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp etc), making use of the wonderful technology available. In my experience, these methods of working are proving very successful and I, like many therapists in Lancaster, will be providing more remote services in the future.

However, I recognise that many people, for all sorts of reasons, cannot attend counselling by remote means and need to come to a consulting room.

Now Offering Counselling by Video and Phone during Coronavirus Uncertainty

Well Life Counselling is now offering counselling by Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp and Facetime, including a FREE 30 minute initial consultation, to help people access counselling during the uncertainty brought about by Coronavirus. Key workers are being offered significant reductions in the cost of counselling during lockdown. Don’t let Coronavirus keep you from the counselling you […]

Coronavirus Response

On Thursday 12 March 2020 the UK government announced that we are moving out of the contain phase and into the delay phase in response to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. It set out what we should be doing in response to these guidelines and it is important that my clients and prospective clients are […]

World Cancer Day 4 Feb 2020

As Head of Adult Therapy Services at CancerHelp, I have the privilege of working with cancer sufferers every week and am constantly impressed by the courage and resilience of those who, despite the immense impact upon their lives and families, continue to live their lives with cancer and strive to overcome one obstacle after another.

World Mental Health Day 2019

Thursday 10 October 2019 is World Mental Health Day; an opportunity for employers, organisations and individuals to think seriously about how they can address the stigma attached to poor mental health and seek to improve the lives of millions of people who suffer, daily, from mental health issues. Suicide prevention will be at the very […]

Real People, Real Stories

For men under the age of 50, suicide is still the biggest killer. The Samaritans has launched a new campaign called “Real People, Real Stories” that seeks to share the stories of men who have gone through difficult times and highlights the fact that 2 in 5 men in England, Scotland and Wales between the […]

Beat Stress in 2019

Stress is the “health epidemic of the 21st Century” according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) as reported by Forbes back in 2015. As I reflect on 2018 and look forward to another year, I can’t help wondering what’s changed? My guess is that nothing has changed, and stress is still the epidemic it was […]
