Counselling in Lymm and Altrincham
with Simon Lyons from Talking Spa.
Seeking solutions, healing feelings ~ changing lives.
Welcome and thank you for visiting Talking Spa Therapeutic Counselling.
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
I am based in Lymm, situated in an idyllic country setting surrounded by wildlife and boats slowly passing by on the Bridgewater canal, perfect for quiet reflective work such as counselling, a bit of a haven.
Also, I work in Altrincham market quarter in a beautifully refurbished old building which has been redesigned as a therapy hub. Both environments are perfect for wellbeing work.
Additionally I offer walk and talk therapy as well as online counselling.
New for summertime '26.
Walk and talk counselling. Recent research has shown that walk and talk therapy has further beneficial value.
Taking in a slower paced Lymm countryside ambience while walking along the boat lined canal where the trees reflect against the water is really grounding and provides a further sense of decompression and clarity.
It's good to take the opportunity to get out and connect with nature to mentally reset and take care of your physical health as well as your wellbeing.
Simon Lyons from Talking Spa Counselling in Lymm and Altrincham.
Counselling in a safe and trusting space where you can access your inner voice.
I offer a quiet confidential space away from the world to focus on your emotional wellbeing-without judgement or pressure.
Counselling can help you explore new perspectives, improve communication and strengthen relationships. For men especially, taking that first step to talk about stress, relationships, depression or anxiety can be difficult, but looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.
Whether you're facing a current crisis or carrying the weight of the past, therapy can help you move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.
If this sounds familiar, why not give me a free call?
Call or text me on 07967 025833, Simon.
I am formally trained and qualified to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, so you can be rest assured that I offer professional therapy at a nationally recognised level.
Also, as well as being a qualified counsellor, I have lived experience of many of the mental health and life challenges that clients bring to therapy. As a result I am able to provide genuine empathy and experience knowing that things can change for the better.
To talk to someone who can relate to you, then call me. Simon 07967 025833.
Speak in Confidence
Do you just want to feel like the "old you" again?
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or burnt out can creep up on us-sometimes we don't realise how much we're struggling until somebody says, "I'm a bit worried about you."
If you're constantly tired, overwhelmed or no longer finding joy in the things you used to enjoy, stress, anxiety or depression may be affecting you. You're not alone and it doesn't have to define you.
I offer a quiet, safe and therapeutic space to voice to voice what's going on, reflect clearly and reconnect with your inner voice-helping you to find your way back to feeling more like yourself.
Why not use your free call to see whether this space could help?
Call or text Simon on 07967 025833.
Running on empty?
You've kept going, probably handled what needed handling , and probably told yourself you just need to push through. But sometimes the pressure builds until there is nothing left in the tank.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you talk. This counselling space can offer you the peace and quiet to work out what's happening and reconnect with yourself without judgement or putting on a brave face.
If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected or simply just not feeling right then you don't have to carry the burden alone. Get in touch and let me know the best time to talk and discover the next step.

Fees & Availability
When starting a new counselling relationship with me, we'll begin with an initial free 20-minute telephone assessment. This allows me to get a feel and understanding of who you are and what you are contending with and also for you to feel if I am the right counsellor for you.
Counselling sessions last for 60 minutes and cost £60 per session, my recommended starting point is a plan of 3 to 6 sessions.
However, every person and situation are different. We may find the eureka moment early and complete our work ahead of time, work to an agreed date or continue sessions for as long as you will benefit from them. It’s all about when the time is right for you.
I have a limited number of concessions for people under financial hardship, also counselling students. Please get in touch with me.
Payments are required 24 hours before the session starts and can be made by bank to check availability.
Note that if you you want to cancel an appointment, I require 24 hours' notice; otherwise, you will still need to pay for the session missed. transfer.
Becoming your best self
This is a significant investment in your mental and emotional wellbeing, however, when you are able to reclaim your health and happiness and are no longer carrying the debilitating burdens daily, you will feel the benefit of your investment tenfold.
Looking into counselling is the first step. It can be difficult to admit that you're unhappy and even harder to imagine a life beyond the hardships you're facing today, finding the right person to help you can also be overwhelming.
So, wherever you are on your journey, I can meet you with the safe, supportive and non judgemental space needed to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Together, we can work towards helping you move forward and reach the place you want to be.
Spotlight on..
Dementia
Dementia is affecting more and more families the longer we live. Do you care for a loved one with this debilitating illness?
Early days are often about hope and making the best of the days given however, this is a long slow process where the person changes personality or slowly drifts away, hurting the loved ones and gradually pulls them into an exhausting silent struggle.
How are you feeling?
Sad, depressed, feeling guilty about a gradual lack of patience or time? Do you have feelings of frustration and then remorse? Are you tired, trapped, haunted or struggling against repetition?
Do you need some space to clear your head or to just voice thoughts you can't share anywhere else?
If so, then lets arrange a clarity call and formulate a plan ongoing for coping!
