Tanya Boyce – Person Centred Counsellor Lymm
Hello, I am Tanya and I’m one of the counsellors that works from LIBERTAS.
I believe there are an array of reasons that people come to therapy, but mostly we wish for the same outcome, change… Maybe you are feeling lost and far away from who, and where you’d like to be. Are you unable to make sense of that on your own? Perhaps you feel that you can’t pinpoint what it is that’s troubling you, you know that you don’t want to feel this way but feel stuck and can’t work through it? Are you confused about something, scared of making a decision, anxious about your future, stressed at work, unable to articulate how you feel or express your emotions, or unable to make sense of things that have happened in the past?
I can relate to that – when I made the decision to have therapy it changed my life which resulted in my training as a Counselling Therapist. I knew I had truly found my path.
I believe that being heard, truly heard, is one of the most powerful experiences we can encounter.
I will provide a trusting, warm environment for you. One that is free from judgement and shame… I always
bring honesty, safety, a great sense of humour and above all, integrity.
I will work alongside you on your journey if that is what you choose…
