Introductory Offer - £30 applies to 1-2-1 walk & talk and traditional counselling sessions
I’ll be straight with you—this isn’t for everyone.
If you’re happy carrying on as you are, that’s fine.
But if you’ve been feeling stuck, low in yourself, or like you’ve lost a bit of direction, then it might be time to do something about it.
I’m offering a small number of 1-2-1 walk and talk and traditional counselling sessions in Blackpool.
This is not a group.
It is not a class.
It’s a private, straightforward space to:
Clear your head
Talk things through honestly
Start getting moving again—mentally and physically
My approach is simple:
No fluff. No jargon. No pretending.
Just honest conversation, practical thinking and forward movement.
I’m a BACP registered counsellor with a Master’s degree in Positive Psychology & Counselling, and I’ve spent over 40 years working in coaching, teaching and supporting people. I won’t dress things up—but I will listen, and I will help you face things properly.

APG Counselling - Person Centred Therapy with Alan Paul Gaynor
When life feels overwhelming, confusing or heavy, having a safe space to talk can make all the difference. At APG Counselling, I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences openly — at your pace and in your way.
My approach is rooted in Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), offering empathy, acceptance and genuine understanding. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, loss, stress, relationship challenges, confidence issues or simply seeking space to make sense of life, I’m here to support you.
