Counselling in Manchester
There are many difficulties in life that can feel overwhelming at times. Life circumstances or internal struggles can leave us feeling as if we are not getting what we should out of life and we want to be able to move forward. In all circumstances I believe passionately in the power of therapy to help enact positive change. The tools and skills you could learn with me can enable you to feel that you can live the rest of your life free from what has been holding you back. We would do this together working at your pace and always being in partnership.

Are you feeling anxious or stressed? Do you struggle with depression, or feelings of inadequacy? Are you stuck in patterns of behaviour which no longer serve you? I understand that it takes a huge amount of courage to ask for help, and passionately believe therapy can provide the first step in taking control of your life. My core practice combines Integrative Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis. I have a special interest in working with clients who have unresolved childhood issues or trauma, which may result in struggles with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship problems, eating disorders or other somatic symptoms.

Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences, which knock us off our feet and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion and I believe that you have the inner wisdom to work through these issues as you are the person that knows yourself better than anyone,

Hello. There might be several reasons why you are looking to start therapy:
Maybe you feel stuck and don’t know how to overcome a difficult situation.
Or why the same things seem to be happening to you.
You might be wondering 'what is wrong with me?'.
Maybe you feel very sad and like you’re carrying heavy baggage.
Stress might be a bit too much and you wish you could stop the race inside you.
Maybe you just want to feel better.
Maybe you are not sure, but you feel that all is not ok.
And maybe all the above at the same time.

People come for therapy for many different issues. A common theme is that people want to get a greater sense of themselves and understanding of what may have caused their issues and how they might grow past these challenges. Therapy can help you feel better about yourself and improve your mental health.

You look like you’re living the dream. You buy Whispering Angel these days, have a job that sounds impressive at parties and a partner who loves you enough to traipse round shrines in Kamakura and look interested. You have friends who indulge your brunch habits (and wait for you to take photos first). But if we’re being honest, there’s something else going on beneath the enviable surface. Your screen time is stupidly long, you follow more therapists on Instagram than actual friends, and your self-help books are gathering dust (honestly 'Let Them' was a let down).
