New Horizons Counselling

We started to take walks together during our therapy sessions, which were something I really looked forward to. Being outdoors while discussing rather testing personal issues was a very cleansing process.
Guy has given me the strength to look in the mirror and actually adore the person looking back. I never thought, in all my 31 years, that I would feel so empowered and proud of the person I am. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin and I now have the strength to choose whether or not I allow negative energy to impact my life.
Through counselling I could acknowledge my own feelings and be able to be open and honest with them. Guy’s approach made me feel at ease. Guy allowed me to see a way forward and the different positive steps I am able to make that has allowed me to be happier with myself. Through Guy’s approach it has enabled me to identify where I was struggling in my life.
I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my counselling sessions with Guy. He always made me feel at ease - offering a listening ear, but never enforcing an opinion. I enjoyed the ‘walk and talk’ aspect of the sessions, as it felt less intense. I felt like Guy was always supportive and never judgemental, allowing me the time and space to talk through my feelings and to come to my own conclusions. He really helped me a lot and for that I am so grateful!
I came to Guy in a very dark period and initially just wanted to find somebody to tell me what to do to make it right. But Guy saw that by working through the situation with me, listening and pushing me, I could right it myself. That's both empowering and enduring. Guy was clear about his process, stayed true to it throughout, and was ultimately successful. Thank you.
Though we only spent six sessions together, I was able to successfully work through a crisis and then together we turned to study 'bigger picture’ issues that I have been struggling with my whole life. Even after a short number of sessions I feel that I understand myself better than I did before. I am very happy that I began to work with Guy. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a friendly, patient, honest and astute counsellor.

Training

I have been a counsellor since 2015 and seen private clients for the last 4 years.  I completed an MA in Clinical Counselling at the University of Chester in 2016 and have done lots of work as a volunteer counsellor. I have worked with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds and provided both long and short-term counselling.

Client Feedback

Clients are very happy with their counselling sessions. They say it is good to be listened to with care and respect and they like being able to speak without being judged. Clients say they are able to be more honest about how they feel about life and also that counselling helped them to feel more confident and develop new approaches to life.

How Counselling Could Help You

If you are having a hard time, I would really like to discuss  about how counselling might help you. I know having counselling helped me at a difficult time and I would love to offer this to you whatever you are finding hard. I have worked with clients whose lives have been challenging for a variety of reasons including –

  • Relationship problems
  • Childhood adversity and family trauma
  • Bereavement
  • Significant, life-limiting and life-altering illness
  • Self-confidence and self-worth
  • Feelings of failure
  • Suicidal thoughts and feelings
  • Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviour
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression and low motivation
  • Losses in life
  • Caring for dependant relatives
  • Domestic violence and controlling relationships
  • PTSD
 

I look forward to getting your email, text or phone call to arrange a time to talk about how, working together, we might be able to find New Horizons in your life.

Best Wishes, Guy

My motivation

My work is motivated by my desire to provide you with a place to talk and be treated with attention, care and respect. It is my goal to give you a space where it is easier to talk about difficult things and move towards a happier life.

My values

  • Care - I will engage with you as an individual and support your wishes for your life.
  • Confidentiality - what you share will be kept between us. (Please see FAQs for more detail.)
  • Respect - I value the ways that you want to live and care about your wishes, even if you haven't always had respect from others in your life.
  • Honesty - I will be truthful in your counselling and I will be reliable in helping you explore what is a puzzle or a struggle for you.
