Parenting Counselling in Manchester

Want to be a happier, calmer parent ? Are you struggling with parenting stress or parental burnout? Has parenting stress drained all the joy out of parenthood for you and left you struggling with difficult emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger and guilt? Maybe chronic stress is making you act in ways you regret such as being too harsh with your children or becoming distant from them? When times get tough in parenthood, we often blame ourselves for not being good enough parents but the truth is we need better support. As a clinical psychologist and mum of 3, I know how hard parenthood can be and I know how best to support parents.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal'. (Rumi). As a therapist, for me this sums up counselling in one short sentence, which is helping and facilitating the healing process. I am a fully qualified person-centred, and integrative therapist. I offer safe, non-judgemental, confidential therapy for you to explore your concerns and issues. Having a non-judgemental and supportive manner is essential in the work I do with people. I feel this allows people to be more comfortable within the process of therapy and allows them to safely explore the issues they are bringing to therapy.

Please check your junk email folder. Bump in the Road Therapy was created from my own personal experience with the perinatal period. The glow people talk about during pregnancy did not arrive and with various pregnancy related ailments, I felt like the only person in the world who couldn’t wait for pregnancy to be over right from the start. In various parenting groups, I have met a number of birthing people & their partners who have experienced a loss of control regarding their birth, intrusive thoughts, fighting for their needs, the feelings of vulnerability and so on. I am passionate about lifting that burden of carrying these.

My name is Andreia-Marisa Carvalho and I am a Clinical Psychologist with the objective of facilite the way where you can find your own resources to enhance your personal development because like a human being you have the ability to be resilient and obtain the changes in your behaviour. The therapy will be mainly focused on the clinical approach where your individuality and integrity are protected. You can benefit from the therapy in different issues such as parenting , maternity, child and adolescent behaviour, older adults, racial identity and migratory bereavement.

We all have times when we find it hard to cope. Counselling can help you understand why you think, feel and act like you do. It can help you develop positive strategies to get what you want out of life. How we think, feel and behave is part of being human. Problems can arise when we get 'stuck' in negative thought patterns; when our feelings are persistently overwhelming; when our behaviour is self-destructive and doesn't result in us getting what we need; when we worry about the future, dwell on the past and find it hard to live in the present. I believe the most important relationship we have is the relationship with ourself.

As a midwife and birth trauma therapist I have realised that sadly most women who experience trauma through the childbearing experience aren’t getting the help they need. Instead this emotional wound is left unhealed and the consequence permeate through their thoughts, emotions, decisions and relationships. What would it feel like to truly let go of negative thoughts and emotions from your previous traumatic experience, get clarity and create space for a positive new future? How You Feel Matters - because pregnancy, birth and parenting are more than physical event.

You may have been considering therapy for a while but are hesitating or perhaps you've had previous experience and need something more. You feel something is not right but it is hard to think about or put into words? Living with high levels of anxiety, shame or fear for a prolonged period, can negatively affect the way we perceive ourselves and others. So with a compassionate approach, I work with most psychological difficulties, and have a special interest in anxiety and low mood, problematic family relationships, parenting and bereavement.

People access therapy for many different reasons, but generally we are most likely to reach out for help when our usual coping strategies are no longer effective. At these times it is not always helpful to turn to family or friends, as their well-meaning support often fails to make us feel truly understood. As a therapist, I will not be directive in pushing forwards solutions, because I do not claim to know you better than you know yourself. My aim is to provide a safe and authentic relationship, where an exploration of the dynamics between us becomes a significant factor in the effectiveness of the therapy.
