Hello, I am a psychotherapist based in central Manchester and Wilmslow. I also have over 30 years experience as a nurse. 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 am certified in the clinical treatment of clients who present with complex trauma and dissociative disorders.

Feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or lonely in these uncertain times? Challenges with work or study or relationship difficulties? Overthinking everything or perhaps you have issues around food and eating? I can help! Positive changes in your life can take place even when those challenges seem overwhelming and distressing. I offer psychotherapy and nutrition support for individuals and I also work regularly with straight and same-sex couples. In this current situation, my practice is online and phone-based. I have a lot of experience working in this way. It's very easy to set up an appointment and the technology works well.

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? Do you find you're reaching for alcohol, drugs, food, damaging relationships to try to feel better? Or did you grow up with a parent struggling this way? You don't need to have suffered an obvious trauma or adversity to be be feeling fearful, despairing or battling with a low sense of self worth. Modern life is hard and the pressures sometimes difficult to navigate.

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.

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.

People come to me for a variety of reasons; you might be feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or like life isn’t going the way you wanted. Perhaps you – or your relationships – are suffering because of sadness, loss, anger or childhood trauma. Or perhaps you can’t put your finger on what’s wrong, but you know something’s not right. Even if you think you’ve tried everything, are feeling overwhelmed or like you can’t go on, I strongly believe that sharing with an experienced, empathic and non-judgmental therapist can make a significant difference to many people’s lives. You needn’t suffer or struggle alone.

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.

At some point, most of us will find it hard to make sense of ourselves, our relationships or what’s happening around us. There may be something you know is hurting, or it may be a more general feeling of being ‘stuck’. Therapy can help you reach a better understanding of yourself and gives you a safer space to discover and develop your own strategies for a more fulfilling way of being. In therapy we can explore, together, where you’ve been, where you are right now, and where you hope to move forwards to. You don't have to be in crisis to seek therapy - it can be a regular space for you to check in with yourself: a form of self-care.

I’m an Accredited Counsellor based within the iconic building the Royal Exchange in Manchester City Centre working with clients covering various mental health and life issues. Ive been qualified since 2010 and a few years later I completed a Mindfulness Diploma using influences of CBT and have introduced these learnings into my practice.

**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

I believe that for many reasons we can feel stuck and uncertain in our lives. Working together with someone to understand and make sense of our experiences can be the starting point of positive changes in our relationships with ourselves, those around us and our environment. Therapy offers you a space to reflect and make sense of your experiences which can start you on a journey to make positive changes in your life. These benefits of engaging in therapy are the reasons why I am very passionate about my role as a Clinical Psychologist and Therapist.

As a Counsellor / Psychotherapist I will assist you with your life issues and goals. I have 5 years experience of working with individuals in schools, mental health centres and NHS, covering anxiety, stress, work related issues to name a few. We will work together with regular reviews to ensure you're content with your experience. You will have access to a comfortable space, which has disabled access, located within the city centre. The premises is ideally situated for transport links, with a car park in less than 10 minutes walking distance.

Taking the first step to seek professional support can feel daunting but can make a real difference to what is happening right now for you. It is very important that you find the right person for you, someone you feel able to confide in, trust and who really listens to you without any judgement. I offer a warm, safe and confidential space for you to talk about your individual concerns and experiences, without fear of judgement.

****ONLINE SESSIONS AVAILABLE**** 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.

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.

I am a qualified Person-Centred Psychotherapist working in Manchester City Centre. I currently work for Bupa and in Private Practice. I offer both short and long-term therapy sessions and have experience working with a range of different issues, such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, complex trauma and abuse. I work to create a safe, non-judgemental environment for my clients, instilling a sense of autonomy and facilitating self-exploration and greater understanding of oneself, supporting individuals through their unique process of positive growth.

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

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.
