Individual Counselling
Individual Counselling in Lytham St Annes & Online Across the UK
I can help you navigate life’s challenges, gain clarity, and build a brighter future. You don’t have to steer this on your own.
Maybe you’ve been holding it all together for a long time, but inside, you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly lost.
You might be battling self-doubt, anxiety, or old wounds that just won’t shift. Or perhaps you’re simply exhausted by the pressure to keep going, even when things don’t feel right.
Whatever brings you here, there is support available. Somewhere to pause. To breathe. To talk freely – and be heard with compassion and care.
What You’re Carrying Matters
Individual counselling can help you work through a wide range of challenges, including:
- Anxiety, overthinking, and intrusive thoughts
- Low self-esteem and inner criticism
- Depression, hopelessness, or emotional numbness
- Grief, loss, or life transitions
- Relationship struggles or patterns you can’t break
- People-pleasing, perfectionism, or burnout
- Past experiences that still affect you today
No issue is too small or too messy. If it’s impacting your life, your peace, or your sense of self, we can work with it.
How I Work
I’m Vicky Ashraf – a BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 17 years of experience and thousands of hours supporting people through life’s hardest moments. My clients often say they feel seen for the first time and deeply understood in our work together, and that’s exactly what I aim to offer.
My counselling style is calm, kind, and collaborative. I don’t rush or offer quick fixes. Instead, I meet you where you are and help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, so you can begin to make lasting, meaningful changes.
What Happens in Our Sessions?
Counselling is your time, and it unfolds at your pace. You can bring whatever feels important, even if you’re not sure where to start. I’ll help you explore your thoughts and emotions with curiosity rather than judgment, and over time, you’ll begin to:
- Feel more grounded and less overwhelmed
- Understand yourself more clearly
- Heal painful patterns and old narratives
- Build stronger boundaries and emotional resilience
- Develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself
Ready to Begin?
Choosing to begin counselling is a big step – and a brave one. Whether you’ve had therapy before or this is your first time, you’ll be met with warmth, respect, and care.
