Hello, I’m Gill (she/her), an integrative counsellor, outdoor therapist, and menopause coach.
If you're facing a life change that feels overwhelming, feeling lost, struggling with uncertainty, or simply not feeling quite like yourself, you're not alone. You may be living with grief, loss, anxiety, menopause-related challenges, relationship difficulties, or another significant change that has left you unsure about what comes next. Perhaps you've spent so long coping, supporting others, or trying to get through each day that you've become disconnected from yourself and what you need.
Reaching out for support can feel difficult. You may worry about being a burden, fear being judged, or feel that you should be coping better on your own. Whatever has brought you here, counselling offers a space to pause, reflect and make sense of what's happening.Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I'm an accredited member of the BACP and have supported adults and young people through loss, grief, anxiety, menopause, relationship difficulties and significant life changes. Whatever brings you to counselling, I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.
Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace—making sense of what’s brought you here, healing what needs to be healed, and nurturing hope for all that lies ahead.
Feeling Lost, Uncertain or Disconnected?
There are times in life when we can lose sight of ourselves. You may be living with grief, loss, anxiety, menopause related challenges, or another significant life change and find yourself wondering who you are now and what comes next. Perhaps you've spent so long focusing on everyone else's needs, meeting life's demands, or simply getting through each day that you've lost touch with yourself and what you need. Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to make sense of what's happening. Together, we can explore your experiences, reconnect with what matters most to you, and discover what gives your life meaning and purpose. You don't need to have all the answers. We can take things at your pace and explore what a new chapter might look like for you.
For some people, these feelings of uncertainty, disconnection or loss of self can be linked to perimenopause or menopause, even if they haven't made that connection yet. Drawing from both my personal experience and specialist training, I offer compassionate, down-to-earth support for anyone navigating this phase of life. I’ve worked with people who were surprised to discover that their anxiety, or that of a loved one was related to menopause. Helping clients make sense of these changes, and manage them with clarity and care, is something I feel deeply committed to. Menopause isn’t the end of something—it can be the beginning of a powerful new chapter.
Whether we meet in my warm and cosy therapy room in Wigan, outdoors in one of the peaceful green spaces nearby, online, or by telephone, I aim to create a space where you can slow down, breathe, and simply reconnect with yourself.
Counselling
If you dream of starting each day feeling calmer, more your true self, and more in control, then counselling could be a great option for you.
Counselling offers a safe and supportive space where you can explore your challenges with understanding, acceptance, and warmth.
It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, make sense of things and find meaning in what’s happening in your life.
Outdoor Therapy
Outdoor Therapy lets you connect with nature as your therapeutic space. We’ll meet weekly—walking or sitting in a peaceful green area—beginning with an online chat to see if it feels right for you.
Each season brings its own charm—even rainy walks can be refreshing—and we can adjust plans if needed. Nature offers quiet support, helping you reflect and grow, whether we engage with it or simply let it surround us.
These sessions offer space to release stress, reconnect with yourself, and absorb the calming, restorative energy of the outdoors—bringing balance to your mind, body, and soul
Menopause Counselling
Perimenopause and menopause can feel overwhelming, with symptoms and life changes affecting your sense of control, relationships, and purpose, often making it all feel consuming.
Menopause coaching offers a holistic approach to navigate these changes, helping you reduce anxiety, boost mood, and feel empowered to make decisions that align with who you are. It’s a chance to embrace midlife as a time of transformation, reconnect with your authentic self, and find balance for your mind, body, and soul.
