A space to come as you are, talk openly and feel heard.
I’m Claire Gee, a BACP accredited counsellor based in Skelmersdale. I support adults and young people aged 16 and over with grief, baby loss, fertility difficulties, anxiety and the times when life feels overwhelming.
You may know what you would like to talk about, or simply know that things feel difficult. You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch.

Support that starts with you
Counselling gives you time to explore what is happening in your life, without pressure to find the right words or protect anyone else’s feelings. I offer a warm, compassionate space where we can work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
My approach brings together person-centred counselling and CBT skills. We might make sense of difficult feelings, explore experiences that are affecting you now, or consider practical ways to respond when thoughts and situations leave you feeling stuck.
How I can help
- Grief and bereavement: space for your loss and the changes it has brought to your life.
- Baby loss and pregnancy after loss: support with grief, uncertainty and feelings that can be difficult to share.
- Fertility difficulties: time to talk about trying to conceive, navigating IVF, treatment and difficult decisions.
- Anxiety and overwhelm: support with worry, overthinking and feeling under pressure.
Low mood, relationship concerns, stress and self-esteem
You do not need to be facing a crisis to seek counselling. You may be feeling low, finding relationships difficult, struggling with pressure at work or questioning your own worth. We can explore what is happening, how it affects you and what you would like to change.
I offer individual counselling for relationship concerns, alongside support with low mood, stress, confidence and self-esteem.
I also support grandparents grieving the loss of a grandchild, including the experience of supporting their own child through grief. Couples can attend together for support with shared grief and bereavement. These sessions focus on loss rather than couples relationship therapy.
Work-related stress and Employee Assistance Programmes
Work pressures can affect your confidence, wellbeing and life outside work. Counselling offers space to talk through what you are facing and explore ways to manage those pressures.
I also work through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs). If you are seeking counselling through a workplace scheme, please contact me to check whether I can accept your referral and what your provider has authorised.
