Helping You to Get Back on Your Feet
Welcome to Phoenix Down Therapy. Counselling and Coaching in the heart of Warrington, Cheshire and online.
About Me
Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage. My Name is Nick and I’ve been a counsellor for over 5 years. Before that I worked in sales, but a twist of fate and a lot of painful change drew me to my true passion for helping others.
Along the way I’ve become a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and coach, as well as additional qualifications in clinical supervision, but that was just the start of my learning. My keen interest in self-improvement has led me to many areas such as Philosophy, Cognitive Therapy, Neuroscience and Motivational Interviewing to name a few. Which I integrate into my practice seamlessly.
Now instead of dreading Mondays, I have the pleasure of helping others get back on their feet and make lasting transformations in their lives. In my spare time I am a bit of a nerd (as some of you may have guessed from the business name). But I also enjoy reading, climbing, hikes and spending time with my family.
If your interested in knowing more please reach out, I am happy to answer any questions.
I know the idea of starting therapy of any kind can be a scary thought, taking that first step is the hardest one, and ill be here to support along the way.
Rising from the Ashes

- Overcoming depression, using a holistic approach with small steps to wellness to help you get back on your feet
- Getting emotional support after a bereavement or the end of a relationship, helping you to move forward
- Exploring meaning and finding purpose in life through a combination of exploration and practical guidance.
- Exploring stress, work-related stress, or burnout, and putting boundaries in place
- Addressing sleeping problems, using CBT-I to improve sleep hygiene and tackle deeper-rooted issues around insomnia

Therapeutic Coaching
If your feeling ready to soar and become the best version of yourself therapeutic coaching is for you. This approach blends practical goal oriented coaching with the emotional depth and healing of counselling. Therapeutic coaching is great for:
- Building resilience and self-esteem: Developing inner resources to overcome challenges and achieve greater confidence.
- Empowering sustainable change: Creating lasting transformation by integrating emotional and practical growth
- Facilitating deeper self-discovery: Exploring past experiences and beliefs to understand current patterns
- Bridging the gap between knowing and doing: It addresses underlying emotional blocks that hinder progress towards goals
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision in counselling is a formal, collaborative process where we provide guidance, support, and professional development to members of the counselling profession. In my practice we together aim to:
- Ensure ethical practice: Monitoring cases, addressing ethical dilemmas, and promoting adherence to professional standards.
- Enhance counsellor competence: Developing skills, knowledge, and self-awareness through feedback and reflection.
- Support counsellor well-being: Providing a safe space to discuss challenges, manage stress, and prevent burnout.
- Ultimately protect client welfare: Ensuring clients receive safe and effective services
