Humanistic Counselling in M25

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.

What is counselling for? We tend to feel that we should deal with life’s difficulties on our own. But it isn’t unusual to go through a time in our lives where we feel overwhelmed or stuck. When we’re in that place, it’s easy to imagine that things will never change. We may find ourselves trapped in one way of thinking, going round in circles. This is where counselling can help. Counselling gives us a space, away from the demands of everyday life, where we can slow down for a moment and really focus on ourselves. It gives us a chance to reflect on what is happening for us and how we feel about it.

Through a trauma sensitive lens, I use various methods to help you in navigating your challenges, such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, or ADHD, to name a few. My dedication lies in guiding you through exploring specific aspects of your life during our sessions, enabling you to develop deeper self-awareness and understanding of your circumstances at a pace that feels safe and suitable for you. I have extensive experience working within the Jewish culture, and being South African, I am able to do sessions in Afrikaans as well.

Making sense of your experiences, resolving difficulties. Historic experiences impact on our emotions and behaviours, often many years after the events. I’m here to provide a safe space to explore and make sense of what happened to you. We’ll work together to explore ways to manage the psychological and physiological effects of past trauma, and develop your confidence to cope and overcome difficulties. It is important to me to understand what is important to you. I will support and empower you to live your life in accordance with your own values and beliefs, rather than the difficulties that have been getting in your way.

I am an integrative person-centred psychotherapist working with a variety of issues including bereavement, anxiety, depression and stress as well as relationships and self-esteem issues amongst other things. Together we can work towards your goals so you can build healthy habits making positive changes, find new healthier coping strategies, understand your emotions so you can accept your own needs and feelings and look at addressing root causes of stress and personal upset.

Hi, I'm Jo, welcome to my profile. Are you feeling low, stuck, lost or anxious? I can help. I offer a safe space to help you try to understand your feelings and bring about positive change. Counselling can provide perspective, validation, clarity and a better awareness of self. I commonly deal with low mood, anxiety, loss, family/relationship problems, abuse, low self esteem, midlife/menopausal stresses.

I think sometimes we just reach that place in life when we say 'enough is enough'. For some it can mean it is time to stop and face something, and to someone else it can mean it is maybe time to 'let it go'. There's no end to the potential meanings for reaching 'that point'. i think we've all been there at some stage or another. Does this sound familiar ? That's okay, i totally understand where you're coming from. What is important is acknowledging that you have had the energy and motivation to seek someone to support you through this - it takes courage and strength to take this step. Well done!

Hi, my name is Gemma and I have been a therapist for over 15 years. I have experience clients with a variety of mental health concerns. There are no issues that are too big or too small for therapy. I can work with you for a short period of time, or for more long term therapy, depending on your needs. I am empathic, supportive, responsive and dynamic. I have a strong history of helping both children and adults overcome their difficulties and achieve their life goals, whatever they may be. I have a specialist interest in womens health, anxiety, menopause and managing chronic illness.

Life can sometimes feel unmanageable, we can feel low and isolated and unsure of who to turn to. When we feel stuck in certain situations and these begin impacting on our mood and our behaviour, we can often need the support of an outside source to help us look at our situation more clearly and to help us regain control. This is where an experienced counsellor can really help. "My therapist has been a great help, a good listener, and has given me an insight into who I really am....I'm sure I will be better for her sound counselling."

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 20 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

As the world shifts around us, and under us, it’s very common to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or to suffer from depression. Hi, I'm Steve and I would love to help. I have a wide experience of different groups, clients, and presenting issues, and I would love to offer a warm and non-judgemental presence to help you find clarity in your life. I work in Prestwich, Salford and Manchester in person, and countrywide online. I have particular experience with working with stress, bereavement, anxiety, and depression. I recognise therapy can be expensive, so offer reduced rates for those on lower incomes.
