Why Work With Us

During the turbulent times we find ourselves in with regards to the Covid 19 virus, please note that we understand the difficulties you may be facing right now.  Whilst both Geri and Lauren continue to offer face to face appointments at this time, we appreciate this may not be appropriate for everyone.  Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will endeavour to continue to offer our services in a way that will work for us all. 

Hi there, my  name is Geri, I'm a fully qualified integrative counse​llor & Supervisor Accredited with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy . 
  • I offer counselling to individuals, couples and have worked with both men and women successfully. I have also trained in the Rewind Technique which is where a single trauma is the cause of PTSD, only about 2-3 sessions are required for this technique. For multiple event traumas, such as sexual abuse and domestic violence, each traumatic event can be dealt with separately over several sessions
My aim as a Person Centred/integrative Counsellor is to offer my clients a non-judgemental and safe environment to explore their issues that may be blocking them from being who they want to be. Many issues can affect us all with todays busy lives and having a safe, confidential environment to share, explore and resolve these issues can help clients to move life forwards to a place their happy with.
  •   We all seek counselling for a number of reasons, essentially to get help for a particular problem be that anxiety, stress, depression etc.  I respect my clients individuality and in counselling with me you can freely talk about your concerns and fears in the safety and comfort of a therapeutic environment that offers a non-judgemental and empathic environment. 
I primarily work from my home office in the beautiful North East Lincolnshire countryside of North Cotes near Grimsby and in Louth Lincolnshire. Please let me know your preferred location when you contact me.
  • Counselling can be useful for many issues, some examples of these issues are:-
  • family pressures and not knowing if an individual can cope with all of the pressures. I have worked with these issues and helping clients discuss, prioritise in a safe place where clients can change the places of things a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, some fit then they don't so we change them around till they feel right. This can be really useful to help your mind make sense of theses issues.
  • Work pressures can be a big issue for people, first is taking some time to identify the real problem areas. From my experience clients come with what they think is the problem and after some time counselling identify the real problem and we can then work together to help achieve a solution more affectively.
I am a fully qualified CBT therapist, Person-Centred Counsellor, Rewind Technique therapist with a BA (hons) Degree, registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have worked within the NHS voluntary sector for several years and with victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence at a leading charity in Lincolnshire for many years.
  • I offer a counselling service and supervision for short and long term counselling, dependant upon individual clients requirements. 
Counselling does not always need to be sought when your problems are so bad you can hardly cope with what life throws at you, counselling can be used to manage your problems before they get too bad. Please contact me and let me help you get on the right track.
  • I am based in North Cotes, near Grimsby & Louth.

Hi, my name is Lauren, I’m a fully qualified person-centred counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

I realise that people seek counselling for a multitude of reasons. Whether issues in your personal or professional life have become too much or if you need to regain a lost part of yourself,  by respecting your individual nature and situation I am able to offer a non- judgemental and empathic environment which can help to enable you in sharing and exploring any problems you may be experiencing and potential ways forward.

Counselling offers you the opportunity to consider issues that are impacting your life in a safe and confidential space.

The counselling relationship is a unique one, being truly heard by another can be transformative, offering the chance for you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself which in turn can empower you and  assist in overcoming problems.

Working within an NHS environment, I have experience of working with individuals presenting with a wide range of issues, I also have particular experience working with survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.  I offer short and long-term counselling and will tailor my approach to suit your individual needs.
I am  based in North Somercotes and Cleethorpes.

What is Counselling and What can Counselling do for you ? 


​Person Centred Counselling is a non-directive approach;  allowing you time and space to work on whatever issues you want to bring to the session to talk about and explore your feelings around.  Using the core conditions, Empathy, Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR) and Congruence can enable you to achieve your basic and mental health needs. 
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is still a talking therapy which can help you look at what is troubling you.  It focuses more directly on thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and behaviour. CBT works to help you with some coping mechanisms to help you meet your needs and we can teach coping skills for dealing with different problems.

You don't have to deal with your problems alone
