Lara Pennington

I am currently able to offer daytime and evening sessions. 

It can be a relief to talk to someone, especially if you cannot share how you are feeling with friends or family. As a qualified counsellor, I will provide a safe place for you to explore what is troubling you.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming – it could be due to something that has happened in your past. Or maybe it’s because of a situation you are trying to cope with right now. You may be angry, sad, scared or anxious. Maybe you are experiencing difficulties in your personal relationships or work life. Whatever your issue we can work together to help you make changes and improve your quality of life.

I will treat you with dignity and respect as you talk through what is going on for you at the moment and provide support to help you deal with difficult and painful feelings, thoughts and emotions.

My role as Counsellor is to support and enable you to understand yourself by talking openly and freely. All information shared between us remains strictly confidential to ensure that a strong, trusting and safe relationship can be built.

I provide Counselling either Face-to-Face or over Zoom or the Telephone. Face-to-Face sessions are held in a quiet, comfortable and private room in Chorlton, Manchester.

I understand that making the first step towards asking for help can feel daunting. If you feel that Counselling could help you, please feel free to contact me by email or phone. You can also send me a text message or Whatsapp. I will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours and will be able to answer any questions that you may have.

Counselling for people affected by Cancer

I also specialise in offering Counselling for anyone affected by Cancer

I have also been a person affected by cancer and work as a Counsellor for Macmillan. I am able to bring this personal and professional experience and understanding to working with my clients in the following areas:

• Diagnosis

• Treatment

• Life after cancer

• Terminal Illness

• Bereavement

I offer weekly one-hour sessions which cost £55. I am able to offer daytime and evening sessions.

If you live in Greater Manchester you may choose to have Counselling Face-to-Face at my Counselling room in Chorlton, South Manchester. There is free parking and access to toilet facilities. It is also easily accessible by tram or bus.

Zoom/Telephone

I can also offer Counselling using Zoom or the Telephone. I simply ask that you find a confidential and quiet space to have the session where you will not be overheard or interrupted. Not only is this as effective as Face-to-Face, but you may also find it easier to have the session in a familiar and convenient space that you have chosen. Some clients say they find it easier to talk about some things when they are not the in the same room as their Counsellor (although this may not be the case for you).

Assessment

I appreciate that Counselling can be a daunting prospect so before you decide whether Counselling is right for you we will have an assessment which lasts an hour. This is an opportunity for me to understand your needs better and to answer any questions you may have about Counselling. You can decide whether you would like to do this Face-to-Face or over Zoom/Telephone.

Counselling Session

If you feel you want to go ahead with Counselling, we would arrange a regular weekly session which would last an hour. Again, you can decide whether you would like to do this Face-to-Face or over Zoom/Telephone. This can be reviewed at any time to ensure we find a way that works best for you.

**I offer Counselling for anyone affected by Cancer Nationwide** Zoom, Telephone or Face-to-Face (Manchester only).

Cancer feels overwhelming. Whether you have cancer, or you are a loved one of someone with cancer, you are likely to be experiencing difficult and painful feelings, thoughts and emotions.

You may be angry, sad, scared or anxious. Maybe you are experiencing difficulties in your personal relationships or work life.

It can be a relief to talk to someone else, especially if you feel that you cannot share how you are feeling with friends or family. I will treat you with dignity and respect as you process what has happened to you and the challenges you face. By caring for your mental well-being, your quality of life, despite cancer, can improve as will your ability to cope with everyday life.

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor who is passionate about improving the quality of life for people affected by cancer. Person centred means that my role as counsellor is not to give you advice as I believe you know yourself better than anyone else. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic space for you to openly and honestly explore your feelings, thoughts and emotions.
