About Alannah Jade Counselling

Choosing the right counsellor is a deeply personal decision, it requires trust, safety, comfort, and genuine understanding. As a client, you need to be able to connect with the person you’re working with. At Alannah Jade Counselling, located in Nelson, Lancashire, my priority is to hold a compassionate, supportive therapeutic space tailored specifically for you.

Professional Experience and Community Engagement

With over five years of active involvement within the Lancashire community, I have provided counselling and mental health training in various settings. My experience includes supporting local employers, organisations, and schools across Lancashire and Preston. I am experienced in working sensitively with individuals from diverse cultural, faith-based, and social backgrounds.

I specialise in neuro-inclusive counselling, passionately providing safe, respectful therapeutic spaces for neurodiverse individuals. My practice promotes self-awareness, supports identity exploration, and encourages the discovery and advocacy for personal needs and strengths.

Additionally, my professional work encompasses specialised support for anxiety, trauma, emotional healing, and self-esteem, providing tailored interventions to empower and facilitate meaningful personal growth.

Our Welcoming, Therapeutic Environment

My counselling practice is based in Nelson, Lancashire, within a warm, accessible, ground-floor space thoughtfully designed to enhance your therapeutic experience. The environment is carefully curated to feel calming and supportive, mindful of sensory needs with dimmed lighting and gentle healing frequencies often playing softly in the background.

Our space features forest-green walls, lush plants, and natural furnishings, creating a grounding atmosphere connected to nature. Comfortable sofas invite relaxed conversations, while soft floor spaces with bean bags, surrounded by gentle lighting, offer a peaceful area for relaxation and mindfulness. Additionally, a dedicated creative area is equipped with art and crafting supplies, providing a supportive outlet for expressive therapies.

Tea, coffee, and herbal refreshments are always available, ensuring your comfort throughout each session. Although situated within a building hosting multiple offices, my counselling space offers complete privacy, set apart from the main building with discreet, private entrances and exits when needed.

How Counselling Can Help You

Counselling provides a supportive space to gently explore how past experiences and childhood events influence present-day emotions, relationships, and self-perception. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or trauma—often carrying emotional burdens that may feel as immediate today as when they first occurred. Therapy enables you to process these experiences safely, build greater emotional resilience, and develop practical skills to improve your quality of life.
