How Counselling Can Help

Counselling and Psychotherapy in Preston

“Paul was very supportive and helped me to ensure I made progress towards a healthier way of understanding and reflecting on my current situation and enabled me to move forward and become engaged in my life again.”

How Can I Help?
It’s not uncommon for people to struggle to describe their distress and, although diagnoses can sometimes reduce people to labels and cause stigma, many people may find them helpful in increasing their understanding or to access services. To help with deciding whether I might be the right therapist for you, I have experience supporting people in Preston and the surrounding areas with:

  • Anger

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Sexual Abuse

  • Suicidal Ideation

  • Low Mood

  • Trauma

  • Relationship issues

  • Low self-esteem

  • Lack of direction

    … and much more.

Client Safety & Professional Registrations

For the safety of their clients, and in order to adhere to the requirements of their membership organisations’ code of conduct and ethical frameworks, it’s important that therapists work within the limits of their training and competences at all times. 

For your peace of mind, I am an Accredited Registrant Member (MNCS Accred) of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

  • The NCPS register has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under its Accredited Registers programme.

  • Accreditation means that The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society has met the Authority's demanding standards in the following areas: governance, setting standards, education and training, managing the register, providing information, and complaints.

  • Accreditation offers practitioners working in counselling a means of demonstrating their personal commitment to meeting high standards.

As an NCPS Accredited Member, I adhere to and am bound by their Code of Ethical Practice.
