I am able to work with children, teenagers and parents and adults so my range is extensive. I can offer both short term and long term therapy.

I often work with low self esteem, people pleasing, attachment, parenting, anger, repressed emotions, depression, anxiety, shame, ADHD and more
Do you struggle with the voice inside your head that tells you you're stupid, ugly, pretending to be someone you're not? Do you want to change this voice?. Through person-centred therapy, working with the issues my children were mirroring for me and offering myself compassion, working with my neurodivergence instead of rejecting it and shaming myself I managed to heal this and recover from narcissistic relationships. This is your time, I truly believe you can reach your full potential like I did with the conditions my own therapist provided, just like a flower I bloomed, you can too!

I have a specialist interest in therapeutic parenting and understand the pressures of todays society.
Art therapy is an opportunity to express thoughts and feelings through creativity. Using a wide variety of materials to make art, such as paints, pastels or clay, may feel easier than finding words and talking. You don’t have to be good at art to do art therapy.

As a parent carer myself, I understand first-hand how isolating it can be to navigate diagnoses, education systems, and a lack of support.
Hello, I’m Hayley, a person-centred counsellor (MA, MBACP) offering online and in-person sessions for adults in Stockport, Heaton Moor and surrounding areas. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or low, I’m here to offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore whatever’s going on, at your own pace. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, or burnout, I aim to build a safe, trusting relationship where you feel heard, accepted and are able to be yourself.

I have two areas of specialism. One is working with adults, who are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety. This could be in relation to your job, health or relationships with other people. The second is working with parents of young children, when parenthood becomes tricky for whatever reason, or when children struggle with anxiety or activities of daily living (such as behaviour, emotional regulation, social skills, sleep, toileting, etc.)

Hello! I work as a Clinical Psychologist part-time in the NHS, and part-time online. Fundamentally, I enjoy meeting people and working alongside people to help process and understand their experiences.

I can help you start to make sense of your experiences through talking and applying a range of therapeutic approaches along the way. I accept self-funding, as well as insurance payments (I am registered with many of the main providers). I also offer block bookings.

I find it rewarding to work with individuals, both children and adults, who are looking to heal from past traumas. Maybe you or you're child are struggling to managing intense emotions, dealing with intrusive, or struggling with difficulties with trusting others. If you're open to exploring your feelings in a safe and supportive space, and you value a collaborative approach, we can work together to develop healthy coping skills, build self-esteem, and improve your overall well-being. I believe that incorporating nature-based activities, sensory experiences, and creative expression can be really helpful in the healing process.

You’re outwardly functioning, maybe even thriving—but inside, something doesn’t feel right. You might feel uncomfortable in your body, carry shame about how you look or feel, or avoid intimacy, movement, or being seen. Or maybe you just feel numb, stuck, or not quite like yourself anymore. I work with people who’ve spent years saying “I’m fine” but quietly feel disconnected—from their bodies, their needs, or their sense of self. Therapy is a space to stop hiding and start coming home to who you are.

I came to TA after a long time in therapy, which convinced me of the power of talking therapy to enable change. I wanted to learn about T.A as it fits with my values of equality. A core principal is that " I'm OK and You're OK" and I approach my practice in that way. Therapy can be hard work, but there is always the potential for growth, and happiness.

I'm Gemma. I'm a clinical psychologist with a passion for working with families and wider systems around people. I work with couples, and parents who are struggling with the behaviour of their children, particularly aggression or other risky behaviours. I also work with couples who are experiencing significant levels of conflict and harmful or abusive behaviour. Sometimes, my work is with parents who have separated and are trying to work out how to reduce the impact of this separation on their children, or repair or reconstruct relationships that have become strained or distant.
