Are you looking for support while working through fear, anxiety, & stress? Are these having negative effects on your relationship with yourself, your personal relationships & friendships? Is someone close experiencing them? Perhaps you have reached a crossroads, are grieving the loss of something or someone dear? Wherever you are on the path of life I offer a safe space providing support, and exploration of needs and anxieties, facilitating with you meaningful change.

Lucy Garner

I am a qualified Counsellor offering sessions from Levenshulme, Manchester, Life is not always easy. Often it can feel just the opposite. I offer a warm space in which you can tell your story and feel heard, and together we can work to make sense of it. However far back your story goes or whether you have only felt this way for a short time, if things have begun to feel too much for any reason, perhaps I can help. Taking the decision to speak to a professional and commit yourself to feel better takes courage and shows self-respect. It is not a sign of weakness.

Are you experiencing stress or even burnout? Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are all parts of being human. But for those moments when it becomes too much for you to handle this on your own, going to therapy can offer you that safe space to explore whatever is happening for you. As your therapist, I will support you in finding out what your strengths are, what personal growth may look like for you, and how you can create a fulfilling and authentic experience for yourself. We will work together to explore any difficulties or barriers you may be facing, but also understand all those bits of you that make you who you are.
Your growth counselling services
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
I know sometimes it's very difficult to put in words what you're really experiencing and each time you try to speak to family or friends they just don't seems to understand where you're coming from and sometimes they try to advise you on what to do, but you're left frustrated. You might even find it difficult to understand what it is that you are really experiencing and the emotions that are associated with it. There might be situations which triggers a specific thought or feeling and it has changed your whole day and you quite can't identify it. You might be feeling anxious and feel like everything is out of your hands.

Psychotherapist, MUKCP

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or feeling confused that life, and relationships aren't turning out how you expected. We all find ourselves repeating unhelpful or painful patterns of behaviour sometimes, and feel unable to change them. In therapy these patterns are uncovered and you can learn how to change them to be a new, healthier and happier you, to enjoy a fuller life and healthier relationships. If you have not had therapy before give it a try. Everyone can benefit from therapy and improve their quality of life so don't hesitate to take the first step
