Counselling for Women in Preston
Therapy for women in Preston, shaped around your busy life.
BACP registered
£65 a session
No GP referral
Online or Blackpool room
If you're in Preston and you feel like you've lost yourself somewhere under everyone else's needs, you're not alone, and it can change. I'm Hannah, a BACP-registered counsellor and therapist for women, working online across Preston and in person on the Fylde Coast.
Most Preston clients meet me online by secure video, which keeps sessions easy around work and family. If you'd rather come in person, my room is in Blackpool (FY4 4QU) with free parking, around thirty minutes away.
How I can help women in Preston.
01
People-Pleasing & Anxiety
Say no without the guilt, set boundaries that stick, and quiet the worry about what everyone thinks.
03
Relationship Issues Counselling
Communicate, hold boundaries, and stop shrinking yourself to keep the peace.
Starting is the hardest part. So I keep it simple.
STEP 01
A free 15-minute chat
A relaxed, no-pressure call to see if we're the right fit. Not therapy, not a sales pitch, just a start.
STEP 02
Your plan
A flexible, pluralistic plan shaped around you, drawing on the approaches that actually help, never one-size-fits-all.
STEP 03
Our sessions
50 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, in Blackpool or online, with practical tools between sessions.
From people-pleaser to straight-talking therapist.
I spent years saying yes when I meant no, tying my worth to how much I did for everyone else, until burnout made me stop. Therapy changed everything for me. Now I do the same for other women.
I'm Hannah McLachlan, a BACP-registered pluralistic counsellor based in Blackpool. Pluralistic simply means therapy shaped around you, not a fixed method. Warm, honest and jargon-free, with plenty of brew.

Practical tools between sessions
Women who stopped feeling "not enough".
"Hannah helped me hugely with my self esteem and confidence. I feel so much more authentically myself and am better able to be direct and honest with people instead of people pleasing. I now feel in control and look positively to the future thanks to Hannah's help."
Testimonial
"I feel more confident in myself, more ME! This is a feeling I didn't even know existed a couple of months ago. Now I see that boundaries are healthy and necessary in keeping the relationships I am in, good and safe/sane to me. I've learnt a lot about myself and I kind of can't get enough of this version of myself, my true self."
Testimonial
"I've been seeing Hannah, for the past 12 months or so, to help with my anxiety and overall mental health. Hannah has a down to earth, relatable and empathetic approach that has made me feel heard and supported."
Testimonial
Counselling for women in Preston.
Preston is a busy city, and the areas around it, Fulwood, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Cottam and Leyland, all feed into it. Life moves quickly here. Our sessions are a private, unhurried hour that's just about you, with no judgement and no jargon.
Your questions, answered honestly.
Do you offer counselling in Preston?
Yes. I work with women across Preston, including Fulwood, Penwortham and Bamber Bridge, mostly online by secure video, with in-person sessions available at my Blackpool room.
Is online counselling as effective as in person?
For most people, yes. Video counselling works as well as face-to-face for anxiety, low mood, confidence and self-worth, and it saves the travel, which many busy women prefer.
Do I need a GP referral to see you?
No. You can book directly with me, with no referral and no waiting list. Just a free 15-minute chat to start.
How much are sessions?
Sessions are £65 for 50 minutes, with a free 15-minute consultation first. Self-pay, no GP referral needed.
