Counsellor in Lymm and Altrincham
About Simon
Hi, I’m Simon Lyons.
Are you looking for counselling support with somebody that you can relate to?
As a counsellor I think it`s important to have have lived experience in my topic of work which is why I feel that I can offer real understanding in helping you move forward into a better space.
I love my role as a counsellor. Every client is unique and brings wisdom and an opportunity to resolve a new story. It`s the most privileged and rewarding job to help someone through the difficult times to a needed solution or emotional wellness again. The knowledge learned now will have value, always.
Aside from my professional qualifications, I am qualified also with the experience of anxiety and depression which had been a part of me since my early teens. and grief and its corrosive effect on confidence, identity and self-esteem. Additionally, the loss of a loved one, empty nest syndrome and a stalled career all ensured that I fell into a place of being lost, stuck and absolutely broken.
It was in these emotionally austere times that I immersed myself into voluntary work and was happily lost in the pursuit of helping others rather than being consumed by my own problems. It was fortuitous that a kind stroke of fate enabled me to discover the world of counselling in the helping community and that I found my calling. Passionately I invested the next four years of my life studying Level 5 Therapeutic Counselling at The Manchester College. It was here that I found purpose, reward and vocation… I found me.
So, you know my story. I can actually say that the darkest periods are what brought me into the light of counselling and a new career and I can see why I had to go through these times.
On reflection, thankfully, I was able to turn it all around and gain something out of it, I now understand the path I had to take and why.
