Infidelity Counselling in Manchester
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with thoughts and emotions that are difficult to manage on your own. Many people seek therapy when anxiety, stress, or low mood begin to feel too heavy to carry alone. For many men, this can be particularly challenging. Messages such as “man up” or “men don’t cry” can make it harder to open up or ask for support. As a man who has experienced anxiety and depression myself, I understand how difficult this can be. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what you are going through, and begin to move forward.

As a result, difficulties like infidelity, jealousy, envy, loneliness, repeating conflicts - these can cut to the core of who we are.
I am not interested in 'analysing' you or filling our time with 'therapy speak' - I prefer to relate to you person to person, in direct terms. We'll start by understanding your problems from your point of view, how you experience them. I have specialist knowledge of the psychology of love, connection, and relationships, which we can make use of in our work.

My ideal clients are individuals or couples who feel emotionally or relationally stuck, unsettled, or caught in painful patterns. They may be dealing with anxiety, shame, trauma, loss, intimacy difficulties, trust ruptures, family conflict, or repeated arguments that no longer feel workable. Often they come at a point of rupture or transition, or simply because something doesn’t feel right. They want greater clarity, emotional freedom, stronger boundaries, deeper understanding, and more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

My role is to guide you out from living in the past and to re-decide a better future. This is your story and now is the beginning. It is never too late to choose a different path towards a more positive outcome.

Life can sometimes feel unmanageable, we can feel low and isolated and unsure of who to turn to. When we feel stuck in certain situations and these begin impacting on our mood and our behaviour, we can often need the support of an outside source to help us look at our situation more clearly and to help us regain control. This is where an experienced counsellor can really help. "My therapist has been a great help, a good listener, and has given me an insight into who I really am....I'm sure I will be better for her sound counselling."

You may be feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that leave you exhausted. Anxiety, low mood, grief, workplace stress, or difficult relationships might be weighing heavily on you. Perhaps you’re caught in cycles of overthinking, people‑pleasing, or struggling with boundaries and self-worth. You might be facing change, feeling disconnected after loss, or noticing old emotional triggers resurfacing. Therapy offers space to slow down, understand your emotions, and reconnect with what you need.

Life can sometimes feel too much and you may find yourself struggling to cope and unable to manage work, relationships and family commitments as you have done previously. Coming to a place of acceptance that you need the help of someone else is a huge step in itself and reaching out for counselling can feel daunting and takes an immense amount of courage.
Counselling provides an opportunity to speak to a trained mental health professional in confidence about the issues that are causing you the most emotional pain and marks the beginning of a journey that provides the opportunity to explore difficulties being experienced.

Sometimes people come to therapy because something feels clearly 'wrong'. Other times it is quieter than that. A sense of feeling flat, stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves anymore. You might feel stressed or burnt out, dissatisfied with aspects of life, work, or relationships, or weighed down by past experiences that still linger. Often there is a feeling that life could be better than this, even if it is not yet clear how to get there. You may be looking for a place to pause, talk things through, and find your own way forward.

Therapy brings clarity, helping you make effective decisions and positive changes in thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours. It's not about advice giving but creating space to talk, explore, and reach your own realisations. The goal is to feel more equipped to make choices and move forward with confidence and wellbeing. Hypnotherapy & mindfulness can be introduced as a type of complementary therapy—hypnosis promotes focus and openness to positive change, while mindfulness helps keep you grounded in the present.

We accumulate ways of being in the world that supported us in the past but, perhaps, don’t serve us now. This may be held in our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and the way that we relate to ourself and others. Therapy is a process of exploring this together with a balance of safety and challenge. I have experienced personally and with others how this can facilitate deepening self awareness, processing old wounds, and living more authentically. I am warm and openminded, and I am committed to being honest because I believe that it is paramount to enabling trust to develop. I meet you as my genuine self, rather than in ‘role’.

If you’ve spent most of your life holding it together for everyone else, it can be hard to know what you actually need. I work with thoughtful, high-functioning women who feel overwhelmed, stuck in relationship patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Together we explore where these patterns began and how to start changing them.

Infidelity Counsellors
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
