Counselling in Preston · Online across Ormskirk and the UK
For the parts of life that don’t come with a manual
I’m Jodie, a counsellor with a lot of lived experience. I offer one-to-one counselling in Preston, and online across Ormskirk, West Lancashire and the rest of the UK. I also run Beyond the Jab, a small online group for emotional eating and your relationship with food.
Two ways to work with me
One-to-one counselling in Preston and online
A confidential space to talk, at your own pace. I work with anxiety and health anxiety, stress, low mood, self-esteem, big life changes, trauma, addiction and substance use, relationships, family difficulties, and emotional eating and your relationship with food. We start online, and after the first two sessions we can meet face to face in Preston if it suits us both. £65 for a 60-minute session, and we start with a free 15-minute consultation.

Beyond the Jab: Food Freedom Programme
Eight weekly, counsellor-led online groups exploring emotional eating and what food has been doing for you. For adults who are taking, or have recently taken, prescribed medication that has changed their appetite, and for anyone with a difficult relationship with food. Open to anyone in the UK. The first group starts provisionally in January 2027.
Free online session
Food, Family and Feelings at Christmas
A free hour for a kinder December. Tuesday 8 December 2026, 7.30 to 8.30pm, on Zoom. Cameras optional, and it isn’t recorded.
Counselling in Preston, Ormskirk and across the UK
Life doesn’t pause while you work things out, and getting support shouldn’t become one more thing to juggle. Every new client starts online for the first two sessions. After that, if you live in or around Preston and you’d rather meet in person, we can meet face to face in Preston, as long as we both feel comfortable.
If you’re in Ormskirk, anywhere in West Lancashire or anywhere else in the UK, we work online, from a private space where you can be yourself. Same care, same confidentiality, same time that’s just for you.
What you can expect
Curiosity before judgement
We look at what’s happening with interest, not blame.
Your story is your own
You choose what you share, and when.
Your safety comes first
If something else would suit you better right now, I’ll help you find it.
Hello, I’m Jodie
I’m a mum, a wife, and someone with a lot of lived experience. I’ve spent my working life in support roles, from substance misuse services and prisons to community drug teams and rehabs, and I bring that, my own recovery and my counselling diploma from Clearmind International Institute into every session.
“I’ve sat on both sides of the room.”
“You don’t have to have it all figured out.”
You just have to take the first step. Book a free 15-minute consultation and tell me a little about what’s going on. No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
