Pluralistic therapy, shaped around you.
No fixed method, no jargon, no rotating team. Just therapy built around what you actually need, in Blackpool or online.

Pluralistic approach
Warm & jargon-free
Therapy that fits you, not the other way round.
Pluralistic counselling simply means I don't believe one approach fits everyone. I draw on a blend of evidence-based methods, including compassion-focused therapy and work with shame and self-criticism, and we shape them around you and what you want from our time together.
You lead. I bring the tools, the honesty and a warm, judgement-free space, with practical things you can use between sessions.
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 to use 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 in Blackpool. Pluralistic simply means therapy shaped around you, not a fixed method. Warm, honest and jargon-free, with plenty of brew.

Your questions, answered honestly.
Do I need a GP referral to see you?
No. You can book directly with me, no referral and no waiting list. Just a free 15-minute chat to start.
Can we do sessions online if I'm not in Blackpool?
Yes. I offer secure video sessions to women across Lancashire and the wider UK, as well as face-to-face at my room in Blackpool (FY4).
How much does counselling cost?
Sessions are £65 for 50 minutes, the same in person or online. Your first 15-minute consultation is free.
How many sessions will I need?
There's no fixed number. Some women come for a few sessions, others for longer. We shape it around you and review as we go.
