Counselling in WA14

Welcome! I hope that my words here help you to feel seen and leave you feeling hopeful of a better tomorrow.​ I am passionate about normalising seeking support when we need to. It is a gift to yourself and your future generations. It's important to know that we all experience times in our life that are overwhelming, challenging and sometimes paralysing. I firmly believe that you do not need to have experienced something catastrophic to justify why you might be finding things difficult. I will help you to discover a new way of moving forward which feels positive, and is aligned with who you are and what you want for your life.​

Hi, I'm Jo, I'm a qualified counsellor and have many years of experience. I currently work for the NHS as well as in private practice.  I understand that sometimes we all need someone to talk to, life can become overwhelming, confusing, or distressing for anyone, for many different reasons.  This is where counselling, and I, can be useful.  Counselling can be just the place to untangle your thoughts and make sense of what is going on for you, and how you might like it to change. I recognise that everyone is different. We are all individuals, and I therefore believe that therapy should also be unique to you, and your experience.

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.

Hi, I am ML Devitt, a qualified integrative counsellor.

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.

I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor with a therapy room based in South Manchester (Sale). Person Centred counselling encourages an exploration of your thoughts, experiences and feelings which in turn can help you to be open to change, personal growth and self-exploration. Working together, at your own pace will allow us to explore what is troubling you allowing deep routed issues to be gently uncovered thus identifying what you need creating space to help reconcile your thoughts and find new ways of coping. The power of being truly heard can often be a profoundly healing process and may initiate positive changes.

Hi, I'm Sarah, and I hope to offer you a safe space to support you to work through issues and events that are affecting your life and those around you. Asking for help is a major step, but from personal experience the ability to express my thoughts and feelings to somebody outside my immediate network has helped me process the events in my life and make meaningful changes which have not only helped me but those around me. I have been where you are now and it was through finding a supportive counsellor, that gave me the space to really be heard, that led to my journey into becoming a counsellor myself.

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.

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,

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

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.

Hi, I’m Simon. I offer integrative therapy, working collaboratively with you to help resolve the difficulties you're experiencing.

Hi, welcome to my profile. I deal with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, trauma, low self-esteem, gender identity, anger and relationship issues. As each client has their own story I believe it is important to understand and provide an approach tailored to your specific needs. This offers every client a safe and comfortable environment where a relaxed working relationship can be created. This will allow us to build a foundation based on trust to explore your reasons for therapy and to explore the impacts of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how they affect your life.

If you’re reading this you must have determined you would like help to heal and resolve difficulties in your life. I have a wealth of experience working with adults and children who have endured severe trauma, mental ill health (anxiety, depression etc) and have guided them through the healing process. Trauma affects both brain and body, causing somatic pain and toxic stress. Abusive relationships leave there damage behind long after they have ended . I’m not a fixer and I don’t have a magic wand, however, I can help you untangle the confusion and find some much needed hope to help you reach your goal.

As an experienced BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist my practice offers a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space where you can explore any problems that are causing you anxiety or distress. The foundation of my therapeutic work is Person Centred and where appropriate I draw on other therapeutic techniques such as CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness.
