Time & The Space Counselling

Hello, my name is Nicholas Lunt, I am a fully qualified, experienced counsellor and counselling supervisor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP registration number 00599554) working in private practice. I adhere to the BACP's Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions and regularly attend supervision and actively participate in continuous professional development throughout the year. 

I offer one 2 one counselling as well as clinical supervision for both students and qualified counsellors.

I have over 30 years experience working for and managing a local registered mental health charity, during that time I have had the privilege of working with and supporting people on their recovery journey.

   Having a place where we can allow ourselves time and a calm space to talk, think and work things out can be absolutely priceless. Even so deciding to come to counselling takes courage and I completely understand that this may be a big step for you. Difficult times, bereavement, abuse, trauma, and abandonment can lead to depression, anger outbursts, and burn out, self-harm and other issues. Sometimes we do not know what is wrong but we just know something is not right.

The process of counselling can help you to find your voice, which may have been lost for a while and when heard again can make you feel stronger, more alive, at one with yourself, and more able to make choices that take you in the direction you want to be going

 As an Integrative counsellor, I work primarily with a person-centred approach which means I offer a non-judgmental approach whilst drawing from other models to create a tailor made therapy which best suits you and makes the best use of our time together. I believe working with the person in the room is the key rather than working directly with the presenting issue. I tend not to work on specialisms but do have extensive experience of working with adults and young people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, anger, bereavement and loss

I am a qualified and experienced counselling supervisor and can offer a 'place to play in the best sense and loosen knotted thinking and tangled emotions' (Henderson, Holloway and Millar, 2014) through a working alliance that is not built on a list of agreements or rules but on growing trust respect and goodwill. My aim as a supervisor is to foster a relationship where you as the supervisee feel held, heard, supported and valued and feel able to deal with the demands and challenges of your role and deal with feelings of insecurity that may interfere with performance and in turn focus on ensuring consistency and maintenance of quality and professionalism.    

I believe that change occurs because of the relationship that is created between client and therapist. Therefore, I encourage you to make a few enquiries before committing to work with anyone. I offer a free telephone consultation to enable you to communicate what you feel your needs are and decide if you feel we would be a 'good fit'. 

I work from my garden office at my home in Widnes, it is a safe and comfortable place for us to meet and work together, alternatively I can offer online sessions through Zoom or Telephone .

I invite you to take the next step, call, text or email me to arrange a time to speak together.
