Hello. I’m Jenny Hudson and I provide counselling and psychotherapy services in Manchester and online. If you’ve found me, I’m guessing you’re struggling with something, and need someone to talk to and some help to explore it further. Most of us struggle at some point in our lives. It may be as a result of a significant event such as a loss, break-up, or losing your job. Or you may have realised that you’ve been feeling worried or down recently and it's impacting your daily life. You may just feel stuck and can’t seem to move forward. Whatever your reason you are certainly not alone, and seeking help is a positive first step.

Hello! I specialise in working with women who have depression, anxiety, stress, anger issues, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or who wish to explore and deal with trauma or abuse from their past and the impact it is having on their lives today. I have expertise in and I am certified in the clinical treatment of clients who present with complex psychological trauma. I believe the key to healing is in supporting you to transform how your mind, body and soul remembers what has happened to you. This involves bringing to consciousness your patterns and supporting you to heal, change and grow.

I am a BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies) Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Psychotherapist and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Practitioner. For over a decade, I have been working with individuals who have common (mild to moderate) and severe mental health difficulties.

I work with a variety of issues though the majority of client who come to see me tend to be around relationships (family, friends, partner or workplace), mental health related issues such as anxiety, stress and low mood or around general development/direction. Feel free to contact if you want to explore whether we can work together on whatever is troubling you.

Hello my name is Fiona I am a qualified registered MBACP person-centred counsellor. As your counsellor, I am an empathic and compassionate listener, I believe every human being is a unique individual and have different ways of expressing themselves. You will have the opportunity to unravel the complexities of your thoughts, emotions and behaviour without judgement.

I understand the daily frustration of living with depression and anxiety. Having had counselling myself, I know how it feels to sit in front of a stranger and talk about my inner most feelings. I'm here to accompany and encourage you on your own personal journey. I specialise in person-centred counselling which means that during a session, you'll work with me by talking through issues, key events, concerns, behaviours and how you’re feeling...anything that’s bothering you. I immerse myself into your world to understand your perspective. I offer a safe and encouraging environment, one where you aren’t judged, so that you feel accept

I used to be like you. I was depressed for many years but I didn’t know what to do about it. I went to see therapists who sat there blankly while I cried. I left and cried some more, wondering what was wrong with me. I felt so bad about myself that I would simply stay in bed and try to sleep most of the day away. I was unhappy in relationships because I either chose people who didn’t treat me well or I sabotaged relationships with people who did. I knew I needed help, but I couldn’t find it. I read books, I tried to eat better and to exercise. I was frustrated because I was willing to change but I just couldn’t work out what needed.

REDUCED FEES AVAILABLE TO KEY WORKERS THROUGHOUT CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK. Are things that have happened in your life preventing you living as you deserve to? Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, or feeling numb and disconnected from others?

**Webcam/ Telephone sessions available** Hey there. If you're experiencing low mood, stress, anger, anxiety or worry, then it could be helpful to consider seeking therapy. Usually even working out where to even start can be a difficult and confusing process, and CBT is a fantastic way to help you to unpick problematic thoughts, feeling, behaviours and cycles which could be maintaining the problems you're experiencing

Expecting to have some enjoyment and a sense of fulfilment in life is not a pipe dream – it’s your purpose and your right. If you’re like 99% of others, then you can’t quit your job and travel the world because a quote on social media told you that’s how to be happy. Life is tough, and things often get thrown our way that knock us sideways. You might even be waking up more than you’d care to asking: “what is the point in all this?”. Or maybe you feel stuck in a cycle, struggling to make changes in your life? You're not alone, and you don't have to feel this way.

Either way I am here to support you and help you to make sense of your difficulties. I am gentle in nature, have much empathy and completely non- judgemental. I will create a warm, safe space enabling you to feel comfortable, allowing us to explore your difficulties and find solutions together.

Hello and welcome. Getting the right support is essential when life isn't going so well. Your capacity to feel accepted for who you are, regardless of your current difficulties is central to how I work. Whether you need help with a specific issue, or you just need to talk to someone to gain some clarity, I offer online and telephone therapy from the comfort and convenience of your own home or workplace. Both my personal and professional philosophies come from a place of compassion - the space I can give you will be confidential, non-judgemental and your needs will be respected as we work at a pace that is comfortable for you.

NOT TAKING ON ANY NEW CLIENTS ON AT PRESENT One to one, individual assessment and therapy for adults over the age of 18 with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. In 2004, I embarked on the path to become a qualified clinical psychologist. After obtaining a first-class honours bachelor degree in psychology at the University of Liverpool, I went on to complete a doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Manchester. I have been employed by the NHS since 2011 and continue to work for the NHS in adult mental services.

Hi, my name is Ben and I'm the lead Clinical Psychologist for Project Trauma. I set up Project Trauma to provide the kind of personalised, compassionate psychological support that people need following events in their life which they have struggled to cope with. Psychological distress can affect anyone and everyone will have a different reaction to traumatic events in their life. We all have different tolerance and ways of coping, but at some stage in our life we will all need help from somewhere. Recently I have been working extensively with individuals suffering very understandable health anxiety related to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

I appreciate that each client brings their own individual experience and goals into the counselling room. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, suffering a loss or bereavement, have family struggles, or finding the current coronavirus crisis overwhelming, as your person-centred counsellor, I will keep you, the client at the centre of the therapeutic relationship working with you as an individual. I recognise that entering into counselling can be daunting, and sometimes you may not know what to expect. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for you to be heard that is underpinned by the BACP Ethical Standards.

Feeling overwhelmed by modern day life? Are you turning to self sabotaging behaviours as a way of coping? Life can be challenging, things do not always work out the way we may have planned with everyday issues and stresses easily becoming unmanageable. We all need support at some point in our lives to overcome problems. Counselling can provide clarity and guidance as together we can explore whatever may be troubling you.

At certain points in our lives, we might find ourselves in what may seem like an unbreakable cycle of self-destructive behaviours, overwhelming emotions and a sense of disconnect to those around us, or perhaps even within ourselves. If you’re reading this, it is likely that you currently find yourself somewhere within that cycle or you may have feelings of anxiety, depression or low self-worth. You may be experiencing relationship difficulties, intrusive and obsessive thoughts, self-harm, child-hood trauma or grief. Whatever the reason may be, I just want to firstly remind you that you are not alone.

Do you get overwhelmed or stuck with your situation, thoughts & feelings? Causing demotivation, unhappiness as well as being emotionally drained due to repeated negative thinking, undesirable feelings, opinions and/or patterns of behaviour affecting your sense of worth or value. I understand with a head full of chaotic thoughts, over thinking or worrying can increase your anxiety, low mood and affect your wellbeing causing obstacles, emotional difficulties & being unable to move on to a better place. Never mind how do you get there, where do you start?

If you struggle with depression, anxiety, stress or your confidence and self-esteem are holding you back from living a more fulfilling and happy life, my commitment is to help you achieve your goals. I offer a facilitative space where your self-exploration and personal growth are a number one priority. I will help you recognise your feelings, emotions, thoughts and unhealthy patterns that are stopping you from moving forward right now. My aim is to increase your self-awareness, facilitate change and growth within yourself and to help you find new, more effective ways of living a more balanced life - mentally, physically, socially.
