Hello! I'm Nicci. Are you struggling with life right now? There is so much going on in the world, a lot of uncertainty, systems collapsing, environmental and political emergencies, its feeling unsafe and uncertain and that's on the outside of us! Inside you may be noticing levels of tolerance are shortening, are you questioning what and who are important for you right now? Maybe you feel isolated, confused, sad, feeling you want to simplify your life, live more in alignment with nature and explore a deeper part of yourself who you have been pushing down or resisting because listening may mean some changes.

I offer a FREE 30 minute phone consultation so that you can find out how counselling feels. It can be difficult to know where to begin but sometimes you just know you would like to feel less anxious, less down. Things can get in your way and stop you living life the way you would like to. Whether it's a troubling relationship, working through loss and bereavement or a general feeling of anxiety and stress, I can help you to work through these things so that life can maybe begin to feel a little easier.

Hi, I’m Nathan, thanks for being here. I’m an integrative therapist with experience across both the NHS and specialist community services. My work is grounded in understanding how life experiences, especially trauma can shape the way we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. As an integrative therapist, I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. I work flexibly and collaboratively, adapting how I work to suit you as an individual. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you need, we can take things at your pace and begin to make sense of things together.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale a little. A space where you don’t need to mask, explain yourself repeatedly, or worry about being judged. I offer an inclusive, affirming, and compassionate counselling environment for adults and young people from all walks of life, with particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients.

Hi, my name is Gordon. Welcome! I am a full qualified therapist working online and in person from my consulting room in Manchester zone one. Personal therapy helped me to untangle my relationship with myself and my emotions from others. The world alone is a chaotic place to manage our own unknowns, anxieties, and traumas. I understand that everyone experiences the world in different ways, so unique problems require bespoke responses. Our lives are constantly changing, so it’s natural to feel emotions strongly, think differently and respond atypically. I help clients explore all spheres of their life to help build hope and cope

People come to therapy for many reasons. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, struggling in a relationship, facing a crisis, or simply looking for a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe many emotional difficulties develop within relationships, and healing happens through relationships too. My approach is relational, collaborative and engaged. Rather than acting as a quiet observer, I will be actively involved as a co-researcher in the shared project of "what is wrong, and how do we resolve it?" I won’t tell you what to do, but I will support you in finding your own path towards change.

Hoarding Counsellors
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
