Counselling in Salford

Hello, my name is Donna. I'm a registered Clinical Psychologist with 12 years of experience of working in NHS mental health services with adults who experience common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety & post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I have a particular interest in helping people to heal from trauma and support them to move beyond survival mode so they can reach their true potential and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Welcome, I’m Charlotte. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Whilst I specialise in working with survivors of sexual violence, abuse, trauma and PTSD. I have supported people with a range of difficulties during my career. I could help you to move on from whatever may be troubling you, including both deep rooted issues and day to day difficulties. I aim to create a safe space, free from judgement to explore the important things which have brought you to therapy. We’ll work in collaboration towards your goals, to help you develop tools to help you cope with future challenges and at a pace which feels comfortable for you.

Winner of "Counselling Service of the Year 2020". Providing a range of evidence based treatments, but a warm, safe and comforting way of doing so. This allows me to help you reach your goals faster and feel better for doing so.

Welcome to my profile. Thank you for taking the time to spend a few minutes to see what support I can offer you through this time in your life. The approach of counselling I practice is called Person-Centred counselling, which is a non-directive approach where I am there to support you through your own process, and give you that safe space to explore how you are feeling, and be by your side throughout.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 5 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

Wellbeing means different things to different people. Whether you are looking for a new direction in life, feel under pressure, struggle in a relationship, or struggle to find words to talk about what you are going through, I am glad that you found your way here. Making the choice to seek help is brave and an important step forward. If you feel you are in a difficult place and would like to talk to someone, I am here to listen and help you find the answers within yourself at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I work with adults and have specialist expertise working with young people with anger and other difficulties.

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor. Person-centred means the therapeutic process is centred around you. I offer a private space, without fear of judgement or expectations - which are perfect conditions to work together to get what you want from counselling. My sessions are purposely laid back, where you and I are both free to be ourselves in this space. I offer a discount to counselling/psychotherapy students who need sessions for their studies.

I teach High Achievers to overcome self doubt, take more confident, decisive action so they can live their most unapologetic life.

You can feel like your old self again - If it's possible for those I've worked with then it's absolutely possible for you too! Explore my website and watch testimonials.

It is very human to have psychological difficulties at various points in our lives. Difficult things can happen to us leaving us feeling scared and/ or low/ depressed. Society can also make us feel pressurised to look a certain way and we can feel pretty worthless if don't believe that we conform to these societal expectations. All of these can be both frightening and overwhelming, which makes it so important to have a calm, compassionate and skilful therapist to guide you towards recovery.

Choosing a therapist can be a tricky task, there are just so many! As a guide, a big factor for therapeutic success is 'connection' - also known as 'the therapeutic alliance'. There is little you can see from a profile but perhaps take a moment to pause and check inwardly whether there is potential for a good therapeutic relationship. This practice is known as 'focusing'. I frequently use this method to help my clients access edge of awareness experiences that often were part of their life for many years. If you'd like to explore parts of yourself that you find burdening or at least unhelpful my approach may be of help.

Hello, At times life can be hard, we struggle; be that with feelings, behaviours, relationships or even knowing our place in the world. Beginning to untangle things and work out what the next step is may feel daunting or impossible. It doesn’t have to be this way. My aim is to help you pause and reconnect with your inner strength and values, and through this find better ways of being.

Speaking to someone about the most private parts of your life can sometimes be unnerving so rest assured that I offer a safe and confidential space where you can truly be yourself. If you are struggling with your mental health, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, fertility and loss, or perhaps you are unsure of what it is that you are feeling, thinking and why, please know that I can support you in a way that is respective of you as a person, your beliefs, personal choices and past experiences. I commit to working at a pace that is right for you offering a comfortable space, free from judgement to empower and support you.

Hello and a very warm welcome to you! People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you are experiencing difficulty with knowing what your feelings are. Or are struggling to express them. Alternately, you may be feeling very disconnected, unfulfilled or empty. Maybe you are confused about who you are, or what you want from life, and this prevents you from living in the moment. Are you trying to cope with a difficult life event, or is there just the sense that things are not right?

'Talking therapies' can help us to work through grief, anger, guilt and frustration. I offer unconditional support and confidentiality, allowing you to untangle your thoughts. It can be such a relief to share the feelings you usually have to hide! I am a qualified, experienced and insured psychotherapist working in private practice. As a Registered Member of the BACP I work within the BACP Code of Ethics.
