Does it feel to you like no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to shift how you are feeling and you are overwhelmed by it all? Change is possible and there is a way through. Imagine if you woke up this morning and everything feels right, things make sense and you are able to take control of what is going on, allowing you to live your life free from limitations. It may not be easy, but you can begin to feel that life has more meaning and that you are experiencing healthy well-being again.

You maybe feeling bereft & lost. Are experiencing feelings which are leaving you distressed & confused. You may be feeling anxious or alone - unsure of where to turn or who can be there beside you. You may have feelings of self-doubt, or lack of self-esteem & confidence. Has there been a traumatic event that you have not been able to share in a safe space? I am here to support you through life's twists & turns, by using Person-Centred and/or Integrative model of therapy, which allows me to design a tailor made plan for you. I offer you a safe non-judgmental space & the opportunity to explore your anxieties, reflect, heal & growth.

I am a counsellor and registered general nurse specialising in occupational health, and my priorities have been about the physical and psychological care of my patients and clients. I use the biopsychosocial model to support clients' biological, psychological and social experiences and issues. I listen to why the client feels they need therapy, and we discuss the most appropriate way forward which may include, for example, CBT or solution-focussed therapy. I am welcoming and trustworthy and my approach to clients is irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, race or religious beliefs.

There are many reasons why people reach out for support. There may be a specific reason, you may want to understand yourself better, you could be struggling to cope, feel anxious or depressed, or something might not 'feel right'. It is important to me that we build a good relationship between us so that we can work together to explore whatever you bring, at your own pace, without judgement.

Are you feeling stressed or anxious? Are you finding yourself struggling to maintain relationships and get out of bed in the morning? Do you feel as though you've lost who you are? If you answered yes to any of the above then I should be able to help you. I will be able to offer you a safe space to share you story and talk through your worries. I will ensure that you are listened to and respected throughout your journey in a trusting and encouraging environment. I will hold your feelings of anxiousness, anger and pain and ensure you are the focus of our sessions. We will work together to allow your true self to shine.

I have very specific training in domestic abuse, sexual violence, PTSD and CPTSD. I work to provide you with tools in your here and now. I am a trauma-informed compassionate therapist who works integratively mainly drawing on person-centred, compassion focussed and somatic elements of therapy. ​ I understand that life can be tough and sometimes we just do not know what is happening or where to begin. I like to help pull at the threads until we can lace together what makes sense in your world. I believe that everyone is unique in this world and therefore I will work intuitively to help you find the answers you need.

Starting therapy can be a difficult decision- you may feel desperate and alone but reaching out for help is the most important step on the road to recovery. I am a qualified integrative therapist who advocates for celebrating our uniqueness. The base of my sessions is always Person-Centred; to listen, offering compassion and warmth. I also offer stress, anxiety and mindfulness techniques and other therapeutic approaches were appropriate. I have worked extensively with clients suffering from a wide range of issues including trauma, anxiety, and bereavement, and have much experience of working with the LGBTQ+ community

Life can be overwhelming at times and it’s hard to know what to do for the best. The Covid era has been a strange time that’s tested relationships, problematised goals, brought great suffering, loss and anxiety, and made even straightforward decisions and plans feel impossible. Even aside from recent events, it’s so rare in our day-to-day lives to have chance to pause, reflect, and explore what we want and what the blocks might be to getting it. I'd like to work with you if you've ever felt stuck, lost, confused, lonely, sad, uncertain or guilty about anything, past or present - we can explore and untangle those feelings together.

I am a Chartered Clinical psychologist (HCPC registered), providing assessment and therapy in Manchester.

A warm welcome to my profile. I have been in the field of emotional health for over 20 years & have contributed, either through counselling or research, to many people making a positive change in their life. You may be feeling stressed or 'not good enough' in life. Or wanting to make a big life decision or small manageable changes. I use various solution-focussed interventions. Some of my areas of interest are Personal Development & Growth & Change, using a solution-focussed toolkit, Imposter syndrome, Self-esteem & Confidence issues. Through my coaching & counselling skills, I can assist you in this journey of achieving your goal.

Are you struggling with fear, intrusive distressing thoughts, avoidance and generally not living the life that you want? Or are you low, hopeless, self critical and isolating yourself? I can help with these and other mental health difficulties through challenging your thoughts and making some changes to your current behaviours. CBT can also help with improving self-esteem and with overcoming phobias and past trauma. EMDR therapy is a powerful intervention for PTSD and trauma, new studies have also shown its effectiveness with anxiety disorders &grief

“I feel like quite a different person! Dov has taught me to learn from myself what's important in life, who's important in life, and that I'm actually one of the most important people in life. I would say that the work has been tremendous! His time, the way in which he helps you to open up and really evaluate what's going on and also his so many years of his own experience passes over to you. So it oozes confidence for you to then feel that "I can also be like that myself", which has been really, really helpful for me. Amanda Marks, London

I became a therapist because I like people - I like to understand their stories and how that has brought them to where they are. When you are feeling stuck because of anxiety or depression it is usually pretty difficult to believe anyone would want to listen. Well I do. I want to help you discover and explore the events, thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behaviour that have made you feel trapped so that you can make changes. Imagine being able to see your friends, attend events, even just sleep, without anxious or self critical thoughts wearing you down. That is what therapy with me can offer.

Hi, my name is Karin and I'm a qualified clinical psychologist with over 15 years experience of working with people with a range of different mental health problems. I can offer an integrated psychological approach as I qualified and professionally registered as an EMDR Consultant and a Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) practitioner. I have also been trained in CBT. Within my practice I also offer supervision to other therapists/psychologists.

We all have periods in our life when we feel low, anxious or stuck, sometimes our thoughts overwhelm us and this might be the point where we want to reach out for support. Talking therapy can help you to feel empowered and in control, instead of feeling overwhelmed and unsure about what to do next. I believe in a collaborative approach and will work with you to determine what will be most helpful to you in reaching your goals. Sometimes though, as I've realised over the years, the most powerful 'tool' I can offer you, is the time and space to feel heard which can be so profound and transformative in its own right.

I understand that starting counselling or therapy can feel a bit like embarking on a new journey, when you can’t see where it leads. It can help to know that you’re not on that journey alone, and to work with a therapist who moves at a safe pace for you. The relationship between counsellor and client is incredibly important and you are probably looking for someone that makes you feel safe, accepted, and understood.
