Women's Issues Counselling in Manchester
You look fine, but you don’t feel fine. And you tell pretty much nobody because it’s hard to admit. So instead you perform competence whilst wondering late at night what the hell is wrong with you and why you can’t just be happy. You believe you should be ok, and you don’t trust the nagging doubts that something isn’t right or trust yourself to see things clearly. Instead you keep going and hope. You smooth over awkwardness with colleagues and end up carrying more than your share with your family and relationships and friends without really noticing when it started. At some point, life starts to feel like something you’re managing.

I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist working online, across the UK, and in-person in Central Manchester. My specialisms are anxiety, self-esteem, low mood & relationships, in all their forms. Some of the issues I frequently support clients with include difficulties within relationships with partners, friends, family members; 'people-pleasing'; self-criticism; work-related stress & anxiety; feelings of loneliness / isolation; feeling stuck. These are all natural things to struggle with, but change is possible and therapy can help.

Hi! I’m Corinna, a friendly and compassionate therapist based in Manchester city centre. I typically work with clients in their 20s/30s and LGBTQ+ people. Clients I work with are often just about coping with day-to-day life but feeling like there’s something they want to heal from, reflect on or change. It could be that you’ve had a painful life transition, like a break-up, or a loss. It could be that you want a supportive space to explore current or past experiences. It may be that you’re noticing behavioural or relational patterns that you want to work on. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, and want some help getting unstuck.

Many of the people I work with feel they've lost touch with who they are. They've spent much of their lives living in the 'shoulds' - people-pleasing, striving for perfection, masking who they are, or trying to meet others' expectations or their own high standards, until they've lost sight of what they genuinely think, feel and need. Perhaps you're feeling anxious, burnt out, overwhelmed, stuck in self-doubt, struggling in your relationships, or simply wondering why, despite doing all the right things, life doesn't feel as fulfilling as you hoped.

I'm a neurodivergent queer non-binary counsellor and I bring this lived experience to my practice. Seeking support can be a big decision, and I want to make this process feel as safe for you as possible. I like to be myself in the therapy room, and work to create the right environment for you to be able to do the same. My work is rooted in an anti-oppressive stance, and my practice is always consent-led and trauma-informed. I have worked with a diverse range of clients and issues, and have specialist experience with the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities.

Hi, I’m Anita, and I believe counselling can offer a calm, reflective space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and make sense of what you’re experiencing. People come to counselling for different reasons. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel difficult. You might be facing a specific challenge, noticing old patterns repeating, or finding that past experiences are still shaping your present. Sometimes there’s a sense that something isn’t right, and you want space to explore it. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or know what you want to work on, we can begin wherever you are.

What a fortunate encounter. You have landed here. It can be unnerving to arrive somewhere or meet someone for the first time. My aim is to create with you a safe sanctuary, in which to contemplate your journey. I will be a witness and a facilitator in your exploration of what is burdening you, of what it means to be you, as you create new possibilities or grow or whatever it is that brings you on this path. If you are committed to yourself, curious and willing, then I am here for you. You can read about my experience and qualifications here. Thanks

Life can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves. You might be constantly overthinking, lacking confidence, struggling to process difficult experiences, or simply feeling lost. Art therapy offers a gentle space to explore these experiences creatively, without needing to find all the right words. Together, we'll make sense of what you're experiencing, reconnect with your inner strengths, and develop practical ways to feel more grounded and balanced. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, understood and a little more connected to yourself than when you arrived.

I work with couples, adults and young people navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, identity issues, cultural pressures, or disconnection from faith or self. I also work with couples wanting to reconnect and understand each other.
You may feel stuck or overwhelmed, unsure of who you are or where to begin. My integrative approach (Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT) offers a calm, non-judgemental space to explore what’s beneath the surface.
I also offer hypnotherapy for deeper healing. You don’t need to have the answers, we’ll make sense of it together.

It can be overwhelming finding the right therapist and therapeutic approach for you. I aim to make the process of therapy clear and comprehensible, starting with building a shared understanding (formulation) of your difficulties and setting goals. Over the last 14 years I have worked across the NHS and independent practice, supporting adults and young people with mood difficulties (including anxiety and depression), adjustment to physical health conditions, and eating disorders. My clinical experience and training, together with your self-knowledge, is our starting point for therapeutic work.
