Counselling in WA14

Thank you for reading my profile. I am a warm, empathetic and compassionate CBT Psychotherapist, with a strong set of interpersonal skills. I am able to form a therapeutic alliance quickly, and have worked in Mental Health Services for 28 years. I have worked for the NHS with adults who have severe and enduring mental health difficulties, significant risks and co-morbidities since 1996. I am an enthusiastic and optimistic Therapist, and thoroughly enjoy my practice. I am fully registered with the BABCP and have up to date indemnity insurance. I completed my Family Interventions Training in Psychosis in May 2020.

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I use a combination of approaches tailored to the needs of my clients such as person centred, and CBT to examine current thoughts and feelings, as well as psychodynamic exploration of the past to help reach an understanding of the issues being faced. Each client is unique, and I welcome their thoughts about the direction in which they would like their therapy sessions to take. I am an approved therapist for Anxiety UK and am experienced in working with clients struggling with anxiety and depression. This can range from mild stress and low mood to a feeling of being completely debilitated

With over 15 years of dedicated training and experience, I specialise in guiding individuals on transformative journeys towards a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Are you feeling a tug towards something greater, yet finding yourself grappling with difficulty, uncertainty, or obstacles? Together, we'll unravel those challenges and unearth the authentic 'you' longing to emerge. My approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to your growth. Let's embark on this journey of healing, empowerment, and unlocking your true potential together.

Are you struggling with low mood and anxiety? Do you have difficulties with your self-esteem, body image your relationship with food? Have you experienced a traumatic life event? Struggling in your relationships at home and at work? Or are you experiencing an overall lack of happiness and fulfilment in your life which makes you less hopeful for the future? Then you are not alone. Many of us experience these difficulties, at various points in our lives. The good thing is, you are here now, wanting to seek help. To get started, you can request an initial appointment with Dr Ishba Rehman (free of cost) to discuss your needs and goals.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and have been in full-time private practice in Manchester since 2002. I use a flexible integrative approach and offer both long-term psychotherapy and counselling, as well as short-term therapies. I integrate psychotherapy with CBT, EMDR, Somatic Therapies, IFS, Focusing, DBT Skills, DBR, NLP and life coaching. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, PTSD, Complex PTSD, bereavement, BPD, depression, stress, abuse, generalised anxiety, OCD, public speaking, low self-esteem, relationship issues, shame, IBS and pain management. I am BACP and UKCP registered.

My specialities are; Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma (PTSD/adjustment disorder), depression triggered by bereavement, life changes, relationship changes or ongoing/repeated relationship problems/patterns, mixed anxiety and depression, and low self-esteem. I'm knowledgeable in a wide range of psychological/mental and physical health problems.

I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Manchester (North West) offering remote therapy to anywhere! My NHS work includes delivering therapy to children/young people, and I also offer private therapy for adults (aged 18+) that is tailored to you. Difficulties I've supported include anxiety, depression, phobias, traumas & OCD. Having completed a Masters in Eating Disorders and Nutrition, I also specialise in supporting those with eating difficulties/disorders. Finally, I work privately with athletes to support their mental health. I'll always focus on your goals and what you would like to achieve from attending therapy.

I am a fully qualified BACP integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, trained to use a number of different therapeutic approaches within my practice to help you meet your therapeutic goals. I believe as humans, we are all unique, with different experiences and journeys, which is why I believe you are the expert of your life. My goal is to facilitate a space to help you help yourself by using my professional skills and building a supportive, genuine, therapeutic relationship. Nothing is too small or too big for my therapy room.

Life is tough for everyone at the moment. Everything seems so stressful and difficult and you wonder why you don't seem to cope when everyone else does. You can't make sense of what is happening either with you or your relationship. You may be anxious or fearful for the future and really fed up feeling the way you do and never getting beyond it? Would you like help to understand why you feel this way, to take back control of your thoughts and feelings and your relationships? Reach out to me and between us we can understand and work through these issues.

Life brings all sorts of challenges and some can be much harder to overcome than others. Most adults can remember a time when they were dealing with a situation so tough that everyday living became more challenging than usual. For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with. Many children who are having a difficult time do not know what it is that they are feeling and cannot put it into words. Counselling for children and young people might be slightly different to the traditional idea of therapy you may have in mind.

Hello, I'm Janine, a dedicated and compassionate trauma-informed therapist. I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 9 years of experience helping teenagers, and adults overcome a wide range of psychological challenges. I can successfully treat; anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, and other mental health problems so that you can enjoy life again as you once did.

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,

Hi, I have been a counsellor for 24 yrs and supervisor for 14 yrs, working with adults and young people. My focus is very much on the client's needs and working at your pace, in a caring and safe way, looking at a wide range of short term, on-going and/or long term issues around trauma, stress, anxiety, phobias etc. which can affect your everyday life. I am also an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner, which is known as a tapping tool, that can help you to overcome and let go of negative beliefs, emotions and thought patterns, and reduce anxiety that allows you to feel more relaxed and able to cope with every day life.

Welcome I’m Sally, life is a roller coaster, we ride the highs and struggle with the painful lows. I understand taking the step to seek help and share your experiences is hard and scary, it takes courage, so trust is paramount within the therapeutic relationship. I offer a safe, supportive, non judgmental and empathetic environment, taking your direction to walk along side you. Time is precious, our own needs are usually low on our list. Focusing on ourselves and investing in our well-being enables growth and clarity. Self love is core in all of our relationships. Finding our own inner happiness and taking power back, creates peace

I have been practicing as a full-time Counsellor since 2002. I have worked in a variety of settings and for a wide variety of clients from young children to couples. I work as a Client Centred therapist helping clients find ways to live a more fulfilling life. Helping clients find out who they are, not who they are trying or feel they ought to be. I do a lot of work with children, students and young adults. I have also, since 2003, done short term EAP work in my private practice for a local housing association.

I offer a safe space to talk about the things that are getting in the way of you reaching your potential. My goal is to equip you to become your own therapist, so that you can continue your journey of development beyond completing a course of therapy with me.

When we are struggling and in pain, the need to be heard, understood, to be appreciated and valued is crucial to our healing. I have over 25 years experience working with families, couples, individuals and groups with mental health concerns and/or addictions. I work collaboratively alongside you, providing guidance on your journey towards healing. You know your strengths, areas for personal growth and your feelings. I know how the mind works, about how to push through barriers that hold you back, about recovery and healing. Together we will embark on a journey that is beneficial to you.
