SP COUNSELLING AND WELLBEING

About Me

Shaunagh Parkes, a counsellor based in the Runcorn Area.

Welcome! I’m Shaunagh, a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor based in Runcorn, with extensive experience in working with a variety of therapeutic models. This enables me to offer a personalised, flexible approach that’s tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, emotional challenges, or professional supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. With each session, we will work together to identify the best approach that resonates with you, allowing for healing and positive change at your own pace.

I have the most experience working with anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem/ low self-confidence, grief/loss and LGBTQ+ issues. I also have experience of working with depression/low mood, trauma, family conflict, life transitions, self-harm, and stress.

As an Integrative Therapist I work within a number of different modalities, such as;

  • Person centred

  • CBT

  • Psychodynamic

  • Solution focused

  • Family systems

  • Transactional analysis theories

  • Gestalt

My counselling style is collaborative, warm and compassionate. I appreciate taking this first step can be hard, but be reassured that we will take those that follow together.
