I understand that it can be hard to reach out for therapy, especially when you may be finding life tough at the moment. Or perhaps you are in a better place and have decided that you want to explore aspects of your life. Either way, please do contact me to discuss your needs. In therapy sessions I would work with you to process your past so that you can see how it impacts the present. For many there is the need to grieve for what has been lost, whilst giving the opportunity to identify and embrace your true inner self. You would strengthen ‘Adult’ you, freeing yourself to embrace life.

Lets be honest, finding the right counsellor can feel very daunting, especially with so many profiles to read so I'll try to keep it simple. I provide a confidential, non-judgmental, safe space where you can feel comfortable opening up about your inner most thoughts and feelings. We can explore things like your relationships, your history and childhood, bereavements, the impact of the pandemic on you or anything that you feel you need to gain clarity on or offload. The sessions are yours to use however you feel is needed and I will be there to support and encourage you on your journey. It's an hour to focus on you!

Many of my clients report feeling anxious or disconnected from themselves. They often struggle with people-pleasing, low self-worth, boundaries, anger or relationship difficulties, and find themselves living by old beliefs or roles that no longer serve them. During our sessions, we can explore how these patterns have developed and how they are impacting you day to day. By understanding these patters, we can create new ways to reconnect with who you are today rather than who you've had to become.

Having worked in the NHS for over fifteen years; I specialise in Psychiatric care and Neurodiversity. As a Neurodivergent therapist, I have found from practice and my research, which evidences Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy; strong therapeutic alliance with my patients; there's reassurance, safety and a sense of belonging when working with someone who actually gets you! I have worked hard to ensure therapy caters to and adapts to our brains! Techniques such as eye contact, open questions, long silences, often made me and my patients want to run away, perpetuating a belief of hopelessness and helplessness.

The right therapist changes everything. Finding them shouldn't be this hard. Maybe you've spent years feeling too much, not enough, or like you're disappearing inside your own life. Or maybe you've tried therapy before and left feeling more pathologised than understood. At Common Ground, you don't have to explain yourself from scratch or make yourself smaller to fit the room. We're a specialist neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed practice — and we get it from the inside.

Do you feel like you’re "managing" life rather than living it? Perhaps you’re waiting to feel like your "old self" again, only to realize that version of you no longer fits. Whether you are navigating the profound identity shifts of the perinatal period or processing long-standing trauma, the path forward isn't always about going back—it’s about discovering who you are now. You might feel stuck in cycles of perfectionism or burnout, tired of performing for others. You’re looking for a space to exhale, integrate your experiences, and safely begin the process of becoming your next, more authentic self.

Hi, I am an Integrative counsellor with 26 years of experience working with young people and adults. I am based in South Manchester and offer F2F or online therapy. There are times when we need some space to talk about and process what we are feeling and explore life issues. I believe the first step to therapy can be the most difficult yet courageous. Being Person-centred trained I focus on building a good therapeutic relationship with you by creating a space of empathy, congruence and openness, whilst working with you to cultivate self-compassion and make conscious choices as a way to be more true to yourself.

I offer a neuroaffirming therapy space where you can bring your whole self without fear of judgement. Every therapy journey is different, because every person is different. We can work together to shape our sessions in a way that feels right for you. I understand that, if you've masked for a long time, it can sometimes feel difficult to untangle who you are from that mask. In our sessions, you can openly reflect on your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a space free from external pressures and at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Looking into therapy might be a new experience for you, but you’re looking into it for a reason; whether it’s work-related stress, relationship issues, feeling low or anxious, experiencing low self-esteem, or trying to process something that has had an impact on your wellbeing. I offer a safe space for you to talk, and say things that you may find difficult to say to anyone else, or even say out loud. You won’t be judged, you will be accepted, heard and valued. I’m very down to earth, open minded and do not shock easily. My aim is to help you feel at ease so that we can work together to improve your wellbeing.

I am an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist based in Manchester. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for clients who are finding life difficult to navigate, feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck, overwhelmed or finding themselves not able to do the things they used to love to do. Rooted in a person-centred, integrative approach, I draw on attachment theory, guided drawing, and grounding skills. I believe art therapy is a powerful, evidence-based way to heal when talking therapies haven’t felt enough, supporting clients to create, connect, and heal from within. Art therapy can offer ways to turn the volume down on thoughts.

Loss changes us. It can turn our world upside down, whether it comes through the death of a loved one, the loss of a cherished pet, the end of a relationship, loss of identity, or a major life change. Each of these losses carries its own weight, and no two experiences are ever the same. These experiences often bring a range of valid emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, exhaustion, overwhelm, feeling lost, or a sense of being disconnected from oneself. I specialise in supporting clients navigating this difficult times, and I draw from my extensive training, working at Macmillan Cancer Support, and my own personal experience.
