John McLure – Person-Centred Counsellor

Pressured by work or life? Struggling to cope? I’ve been there, I know change is possible with the right support. For years, I battled the same pressures, turning to alcohol to cope, until I realised I had the power to make different choices, ones that worked for me. I know firsthand the toll that self-doubt, pressure, and unhealthy coping mechanisms can take on your mental health and relationships. Having struggled with these challenges and the constant pressure to always perform, I’ve learned that recovery is possible, not just from these habits, but from the fear of failing to meet others’ expectations.

As a person-centred counsellor, I focus on helping you build self-awareness and discover who you truly are, how you got to where you are today, and what drives the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. If you’re concerned about unhealthy habits or struggling to manage stress and pressure, I’m here to work with you toward healthier, more fulfilling choices.

If you feel ready to take the first step, please reach out to arrange a free 1/2hr confidential phone call. This first conversation is an opportunity to see how we connect, discuss what you’d like to work on, and answer any questions you might have. From there, if you choose to continue, we’ll schedule regular sessions tailored to your needs.

I offer face to face sessions as well as online session using Microsoft TEAMS for both short term and long term counselling
