Lovejoy Counselling

-Based In The High Peak-

Welcome To Lovejoy Counselling

Looking for psychotherapist in Buxton, counselling in the High Peak? or an Online psychotherapist or Online Counselling? Are you struggling with your mental health or mental well-being?

I can help.

I’m Fay and I work as an online counsellor. I also work face to face as a therapist in Buxton and for the surrounding area. I work with individuals (adults) , Young people 16-17 years, couples and relationship therapy.

Are you a therapist looking for quality supervision? I also offer supervision online or face to face.

I’m fully experienced in CBT,

Person centre therapy,

Psychodynamic therapy,

Systems Therapy,

Solution focused therapy and Trauma therapy and I use techniques and ideas from other therapeutic approaches. I will collaborate and work with you to meet the need you have with my knowledge and understanding of theory.

I can offer techniques of reducing overwhelm and anxiety, and guide you through healthy coping mechanisms, not just breathing exercises (!)

Finding the boundaries in your life and saying “no” to people, becoming assertive and increasing self-confidence, working on your self-worth and self-esteem is something I can help you with.

You can do so much! The critical voices and intrusive thoughts in your head don’t dictate who you are and your limits.

I can help you grow in self-awareness and become a “you” that makes better choices and decisions. This can help you relate to yourself and the people and world around you in a healthier way.

If you are part of the LGBTQAI+ community; transitioning, questioning, polyamorous, gender dysphoric my experience will support and help you explore safely where you’re at and where you want to be.

Neurodiversity can be a real challenge and I am fully able to recognise your needs and explore and equip you for the challenges of a neurotypical world.

I will support you and help you build resilience and hope back into your day to day and life.

Hope to speak to you soon.

Hi, I'm Fay.

The world’s stressful. Personal challenges as well can create overload. I’ll give you a safe space to think…process, explore and navigate life’s past hurts and current challenges. Maybe giving yourself the self care of therapy is a challenge too…

Counselling is a space where we can talk freely about what’s hurting us. A place to be heard, seen and understood. A place where we can work though and process what’s been happening to us and explore our options.

I work with individuals, couples and polyamous relationships, LGBQTIA+ and GSERD. I’m trained and experienced in Neurodiversity, abuse, attachment, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma and depression.

I have experience in understanding relationship patterns, trauma, grief…addictions and just how difficult life can be. The impact and pain these events create are huge. Talking can really help, sharing what’s going on for you can help the weight you carry become lighter.

I’m trained in Relationship Therapy, Psychodynamic, CBT, Person Centred, Transpersonal, Systems, Attachment and Gender Sexuality and Relationship Diversity. I would work openly with you in my thoughts about psychological theories, because I believe when you know the theory, life begins to make a bit more sense. Understanding the “why” of what we do…and how it was helpful to us once….but perhaps isn’t now, can often be the key that unlocks a door so we can find some “wriggle room” in our problems or a way through a really tough situation.

I have a lot of experience, psychotherapy tools and ideas that I can share with you. What I bring may help give a different perspective. I have “tools” or ideas/techniques to help you navigate your way through your difficulties.

Online Therapy

Why choose online therapy?

Online Therapy

Time constraints or family commitments can often add to the difficulties of engaging in therapy. With online or phone therapy you can be at home AND look after yourself as well as your loved ones.

Online Counselling

Distance and travelling to therapy can be financially and physically challenging and expensive. Online therapy means you don’t need to worry about the finance or exhaustion of getting to therapy, you’re already there and can focus on what’s important…You!

Online Psychotherapy

Anxiety or difficulties with mobility might make accessing therapy more difficult….these challenges can be overwhelming and cause us to exit before we’ve even started. Online/phone counselling can help you stay in your safe space and feel connected to the familiar.

Couples Therapy / Relationship Therapy

I’m experienced as a relationship therapist or a couples counsellor, I can give you a safe space to be heard by your partner, support you both by improving your communication.

However relationship is about more than communication techniques. Relationship is about attachment styles, self awareness, past relationships, family of origin relationships, stressful lives all affect relationships, not just how we communicate in them.

If you work with me as a relationship therapist, expect to be seen and understood, and I will provide you with all the learning and tools I have to support you both.

I’m open to being challenged and there’s nothing worse than feeling one person is seen and heard over another, if you don’t feel heard by me let me know, I want to hear you and know how you feel.

Clinical Supervision

My experience of supervision has ranged from supportive to something endured rather than enjoyed, so I aim to make it something you look forward to. I use the seven-eyed model, recognising your professional development and working with you to create a safe, ethical framework for your client work. Together, we explore ethical questions and challenges while celebrating your work and the clients who choose you and continue returning. I want you to feel heard and understood, and I aim to stay attuned to your practice and approach. We explore your work with curiosity about your clients and their complexities. Trained in integrative and psychodynamic therapy, I can work with your therapeutic approach. You bring expertise in your client work; I offer supervisory skills, knowledge and an outside perspective to encourage, challenge, provide feedback and support safe practice. I recognise my strengths and limitations and aim to create a safe space for you to raise concerns, keeping our supervisory relationship healthy rather than allowing unresolved feelings or disagreements to undermine it.
