I am a BACP registered Psychotherapist based in Manchester City Centre. I work face to face and online with both short-term and long-term therapy. My initial core training and qualification is a BSc (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy: Professional Practice, from University of Salford. I then went on to gain a Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy at University of Salford. Drawn to the evidence based 'third wave CBT' psychological therapies, I went on to study Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) in more depth.

I warmly welcome people of all genders, sexualities, relationship styles, and identities, including those exploring non-traditional relationships. I believe that every person deserves to be met with respect, curiosity, and compassion, free from judgement or assumptions. Above all, I believe that everyone deserves a place where they can belong. My hope is to offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are, explore whatever is on your mind, and feel supported as you move towards a life that feels more authentic, connected, and meaningful.

If you're tired of battling stress, overwhelm, anxiety or if you're frustrated because you can't seem to be as productive or confident as you want, or need, to be then hypnotherapy can work amazingly well for you. Your subconscious is in the driving seat and while it tries to help you feel safe and survive, it can also hinder you too. Often we aren't entirely aware, at a conscious level, why we're struggling or stuck in self-sabotaging behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy is able to reach your subconscious and work with it to correct course, allowing you to achieve what you want.

I am an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist based in Manchester. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for clients who are finding life difficult to navigate, feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck, overwhelmed or finding themselves not able to do the things they used to love to do. Rooted in a person-centred, integrative approach, I draw on attachment theory, guided drawing, and grounding skills. I believe art therapy is a powerful, evidence-based way to heal when talking therapies haven’t felt enough, supporting clients to create, connect, and heal from within. Art therapy can offer ways to turn the volume down on thoughts.

Wanting to live a happy, purposeful and fulfilled life shouldn't feel like an impossible goal. You have a right to all these things. Even getting this far might have been difficult, but you've taken the first step to trying to make changes, feel better or have a better understanding of the world around you. Working together with you, I can help with all of these things. Everyday life can heap pressures on people and we can find ourselves anxious, worried, depressed or maybe just a niggling feeling that something isn't right. You might feel like this, and that there isn't a way forward, but there is.

I offer a neuroaffirming therapy space where you can bring your whole self without fear of judgement. Every therapy journey is different, because every person is different. We can work together to shape our sessions in a way that feels right for you. I understand that, if you've masked for a long time, it can sometimes feel difficult to untangle who you are from that mask. In our sessions, you can openly reflect on your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a space free from external pressures and at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Hi! I’m Corinna, a friendly and compassionate therapist based in Manchester city centre. I typically work with clients in their 20s/30s and LGBTQ+ people. Clients I work with are often just about coping with day-to-day life but feeling like there’s something they want to heal from, reflect on or change. It could be that you’ve had a painful life transition, like a break-up, or a loss. It could be that you want a supportive space to explore current or past experiences. It may be that you’re noticing behavioural or relational patterns that you want to work on. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, and want some help getting unstuck.

Do you struggle with anxiety, imposter syndrome or low mood? Comparing yourself negatively to others, fearing rejection if you are your authentic self, or make a mistake. You may have always felt this way, stemming from painful experiences in your past. Or has something happened more recently that has changed your sense of self? Maybe you are starting to identify as ADHD, AuDHD or ASC, and you're trying to make sense of your life story from this new perspective. Therapy is a safe and supportive space to explore your difficulties at your pace, develop new strategies, regain confidence whilst reconnecting with what you value and enjoy
