Counselling in M14

I'm really interested in people - who we are and why we become who we are. In order to understand ourselves it can help to talk about ourselves, our experiences and feelings. I can offer a safe, secure and non judgmental space where you can do this. Together we can work out why you have reached a point in your life that may be causing you problems, or why you may be feeling stuck. I work with people who are overwhelmed by their circumstances or feel anxious and depressed and find it difficult to move forward. Counselling can give you an opportunity to examine how you can change and improve your circumstances.

Are you experiencing bullying? Do you find yourself reacting in an unhelpful way? Perhaps you are asking yourself, What do I want and why? What is important to me; what do I need? Who do I wish to become? We can look at a structured treatment that you can continue to use beyond the short time we spend together. I can show you how to develop skills for living and you can move towards a more rewarding experience of life.

Many thanks for visiting my profile. I do understand how difficult it can sometimes be to admit to needing help and seeking the help that we need. This also makes it important that we find the right person who can offer the support needed. I am a Counselling psychologist with over 10 years experience working with children, adults and older adults in a variety of settings including the NHS and Private Practice. I am very passionate about helping people understand their experiences and helping them navigate the process of making positive and meaningful changes. Do get in touch to find out if I could be of help to you.

I believe deeply in the potentials of compassion, empathy and self-awareness as a means of healing psychological wounds and helping us reach our full potential. People seek counselling for all kinds of different reasons, from stress, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationship problems, and many others. I aim to build an authentic and trusting relationship with the clients I work with and cultivate an environment of unconditional acceptance and non-judgement to work through whatever issues they may need to explore.

If you are experiencing a recent bereavement, mental health crisis, behaviour change, addiction, relationship issue or uncertainty surrounding your identity I can help you gain a greater perspective through exploration and deep reflection into your self. It is expected of me to demonstrate empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard so that you feel safe to share those difficult thoughts, feelings and actions you are experiencing. I am currently only delivering sessions online via video or telephone, however I am happy to do walk and talk therapeutic sessions, outdoors in the South Manchester Area.

I offer a space to talk, giving you time out to reflect and to explore self-development.

Meaning, you will find my approach friendly, empowering and conversational in style. I take great care in ensuring that you feel safe, respected and valued. I offer flexibility of short or long term therapy as tailored round your needs. I adhere to the ethics & codes of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.

Hello, I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in Levenshulme, Manchester. Life can be hard and it can be confusing. Events and relationships from our past can sometimes, out of awareness, impact us in the present. This can feel confusing, unsettling or even scary. I offer a warm, safe and compassionate place where you can feel heard and where we can try make sense of what is happening in your life. For the past 10 years I have supported people with a range of issues such as low mood, anxiety, shame, trauma, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, self harm and suicidal ideation.

Are you feeling anxious in social situations? Do you find it hard to stop or control worry? Are you feeling low and stuck in a rut? Or experiencing low self-esteem? Perhaps you’re having panic attacks or intrusive thoughts that are worrying you. Maybe you have experienced a trauma that you’re struggling to process or a phobia you want to overcome. These common difficulties can impact on your enjoyment and achievements in life; leading to patterns of avoidance, procrastinating or a need to be in control.

I have worked with many different people struggling with many different issues over my 18 years experience as a therapist. I am interested in helping clients realise their potential and overcome any internal and external obstacles to this.

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.

Every therapy session will more than likely be a journey. Emotions run high because feeling and memories emerge that you may have not been prepared for so it's important that you feel comfortable, safe and supported. The therapy session should be a judgement free zone where you are listened to but also challenged while your boundaries are respected. You shouldn't feel the need to filter yourself, let it be your time for expression because that time is solely about you and how you're feeling. Not every session will leave you feeling emotionally raw because therapy is as much about your good days as it is your bad. Enjoy the process.

If you're struggling right now, you truly can be helped. Anxiety and depression are extremely common and in a world of pressure many of us are suffering in ways that don't fit a label and often others can't see. You deserve better than that and I built my practice to ensure hope and help is available in Manchester.

Hi I'm Liz Collinge, and I love helping people free themselves from trauma, anxiety and depression. Do you feel lost, overwhelmed, weighed down with shame, and struggling to see how to lift yourself out? You are not alone, I am here to support you through what is causing you pain and develop the tools to come back to yourself and find potential that already lies within. Trauma, anxiety and depression effect the whole physiology of our bodies and can be deeply imbedded in our subconscious. The services I offer recognise the mind-body connection, work with conscious awareness and the subconscious for a holistic approach.

We humans are influenced by our life events, and they drive our emotional reactions. These events often render us helpless, lonely, and terrified. Sometimes it becomes difficult to express our true feelings and/or needs. Life turns out to be persistently sad, complicated, and filled with negative thoughts. It can happen to anyone, and it is an illness that can be treated. All we need is professional compassionate help to start living again.

Are you your own worse critic? Do you take better care of others than you do yourself? Do you feel that people don't really know the "real" you?

I can help you feel more compassionate towards yourself so that you stop giving yourself such a hard time and enjoy life more
