Sometimes we can feel stuck and need a safe space to explore ourselves and what we’re going through. A space where we can rebuild into a more empowered version of who we are or simply deconstruct to uncover our authentic inner self.
Sometimes, it’s about finding our voice to hear ourselves and to be heard. Other times, it’s about carefully ending a chapter in a meaningful and harmonious way that honors the versions of ourselves we’ve been, while starting a new chapter full of hope and curiosity.
Whatever life brings, therapy offers the quiet, sensitive support needed to process both the highs and lows.

Hi, I'm Jo, I'm a qualified counsellor and have many years of experience. I currently work for the NHS as well as in private practice. I understand that sometimes we all need someone to talk to, life can become overwhelming, confusing, or distressing for anyone, for many different reasons. This is where counselling, and I, can be useful. Counselling can be just the place to untangle your thoughts and make sense of what is going on for you, and how you might like it to change. I recognise that everyone is different. We are all individuals, and I therefore believe that therapy should also be unique to you, and your experience.

Hi, I'm Ursula.
I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves the chance to become who they were always meant to be — and sometimes we need a little support to get there.
I am a Psychotherapist in Advanced Clinical Training at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, working towards full accreditation. My main approach is Transactional Analysis — a relational, humanistic method that explores how our past experiences shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others today. I also draw on sensorimotor and body psychotherapy, recognising that our experiences aren't just held in our minds, but in our bodies too.

I work with adults of all ages experiencing a wide range of issues.
During therapy, we will focus your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and experience. This enables you to explore how you truly think and feel about your problems. As you start to listen to yourself more, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This increased self-awareness can help you move forward in a more positive and empowered way.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
