Counselling & Psychotherapy in Carnforth, Kirkby Lonsdale & Beyond -
Face to Face, Home Visits, Online & Telephone
'Come as you are'
Welcome - I’m glad you’re here. Life can change in ways we never expected, leaving us feeling lost, uncertain, or disconnected from who we once were. Whether you’re navigating grief, loss, relationship changes, identity shifts, or a general sense that life isn’t how it used to be, counselling offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s happening for you.
Flexible Therapy That Fits Around You
I offer flexible face-to-face, home visits, online and telephone counselling sessions during the week and at weekends, making it easier to find a time that suits you.
Face-to-face sessions take place in a peaceful, private setting on the outskirts of Carnforth / Kirkby Lonsdale, with appointments available throughout the day and into the evening.
Home visits are available for clients who cannot travel due to physical or psychological barriers, where the home environment is assessed as safe and suitable.
Online and telephone sessions are a great option if you're outside the Carnforth, Kirkby Lonsdale or South Lakes areas, based outside the UK, or if travel or mobility is difficult.
About Me
Hello, I’m Cal Cowle, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist providing both short and long-term therapy to adults.
My path into counselling began with my own. After working through some painful chapters in my life, and doing a lot of honest, deep personal work, counselling became the start of a process of unbecoming everything I was not and gradually becoming the person I was truly meant to be.
That experience showed me just how powerful it can be to have a space where you're not judged, rushed, or expected to perform - just met with care and compassion. It’s what inspired me to become a therapist myself.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, Counselling & Psychotherapy and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As a member, I work in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, which guides my commitment to safe, respectful, and professional practice.
Speak in Confidence
I understand how important it is to feel heard and accepted for who you are. You don’t need fixing or telling what to do - sometimes, what helps most is simply having the space to be truly listened to.
My approach is person-centred, which means I’ll meet you where you are, with warmth and understanding. I’ll offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever feels important - safely, honestly, and at your own pace. Together, we can gently make sense of what’s happening and support the changes or insights that feel right for you.
A Problem Shared...
This kind of therapy can be especially helpful when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or emotionally heavy.
When you’re given the right conditions: empathy, acceptance, and genuine presence - meaningful change can happen.
You may begin to understand yourself more deeply, feel more grounded in your choices, and reconnect with your own sense of worth.
Compassionate Support
I’ve worked with people facing a wide range of challenges - including anxiety, low self-worth, grief, identity issues, relationship difficulties, addiction and the feeling of just not being okay, even if everything looks fine on the outside. Whatever you’re carrying, you won’t have to face it alone.
Clients often tell me they value my calm presence, my openness, and the sense of ease they feel in our sessions. Whatever you're bringing, you’ll be met with kindness, honesty, and respect.

❆ Winter Self Care Tip
During these darker months, create pockets of warmth for yourself. Light a candle, wrap up in a blanket, or spend a few minutes journalling. Small comforts can make winter feel gentler.
