✨ Counselling for every age, every stage, every story. ✨
Welcome to Blackpool & Fylde Counselling, a place where people of all ages, backgrounds, and stories can feel supported, understood, and encouraged to grow. We’re Amy-Rose and Melissa, two counsellors with different specialisms but a shared passion: helping people thrive. By joining forces, we’ve created a practice that’s truly for everyone — from children taking their first steps in understanding big feelings, to adults navigating life’s ups and downs, to couples and families building stronger connections.
Our paths first crossed in a counselling setting, where we discovered a deep mutual respect for each other’s honesty, resilience, and dedication to growth. What started as a professional relationship soon blossomed into a shared vision: to create a counselling service that combines our strengths and provides something unique. We realised that together, we could offer a well-rounded, compassionate, and accessible space that welcomes everyone. Amy-Rose’s passion for supporting children and young people blends perfectly with Melissa’s expertise in adults, couples, and families — making our practice a place where no one is left out.
Amy is a warm and approachable counsellor with a natural ability to connect with children and young people. She specialises in working with ages 5–18, offering a safe, creative, and playful environment where young clients feel comfortable exploring their emotions.
Her sessions may involve talking, drawing, or play-based approaches, always tailored to the individual. Whether it’s a child struggling with worries, a teenager coping with peer pressure, or a young person navigating trauma, Amy creates a space where they can find their voice and build confidence.
Beyond her work with young people, Amy also supports adults and older people. She understands the pressures that come with different stages of life — whether that’s navigating relationships, managing stress, or finding purpose later in life. Her compassionate and flexible style makes her support accessible to anyone seeking clarity, resilience, and hope.
Amy is especially passionate about:
Supporting children through school pressures and self-esteem challenges
Helping teenagers manage anxiety, friendships, and identity
Working with adults experiencing transitions, stress, or trauma
Encouraging self-expression through creative methods
Melissa is an empathetic, grounded counsellor who specialises in working with adults, couples, and families. Her approach is warm, supportive, and non-judgmental, creating a space where clients feel safe to open up and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.
When working with individuals, Melissa helps adults manage challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, and life changes. She supports clients in understanding themselves more deeply and in finding practical strategies for moving forward.
With couples, Melissa focuses on communication, trust, and intimacy. She creates a balanced space where both partners feel heard and supported, helping them to rebuild connection and find common ground.
For families, Melissa offers guidance in untangling conflict, strengthening relationships, and finding ways to communicate with more kindness and understanding. She recognises the complexity of family dynamics and works collaboratively to help everyone feel valued and included.
Melissa is especially passionate about:
Helping adults find balance and resilience in stressful times
Supporting couples through conflict, disconnection, or life transitions
Guiding families to improve communication and strengthen bonds
Empowering clients to embrace self-compassion and growth
