Counselling in Stockport

Hello! I am a friendly and compassionate person-centred counsellor. Life can be full of ups and downs; if you are feeling low, then reaching out can feel daunting. However, it can also be crucial to maintaining your well-being. I believe a trusting relationship with an empathic, non-judgemental counsellor can be the building blocks for a happier and more fulfilled life, and I would like to provide that relationship for you. I specialise in women’s issues, have experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD and personality disorders, and warmly welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures, faiths and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Hi, thank you for visiting my page. I would like to work with you to help you feel better about yourself, and to develop motivation to live your life, and make changes if you want to. I have been working in the mental health field for a number of years, and I am very passionate about it. Counselling can be quite scary , and well done for taking the first step in healing and change. My approach is integrative which means that although my foundation is person centred I use other approaches from cognitive behavior, to transactional analysis to internal family systems.

I know what it's like to struggle with mental health: supporting myself and those around me was what inspired me to train to be a counsellor. I offer a comfortable, non-judgemental environment for you to share any issues you need to. I will help you explore those issues and support you in working through them, empowering yourself to manage any problems you feel are affecting you.

As a fully-qualified and experienced counsellor, I take a holistic approach to person centred therapy. I believe firmly in the importance of building up a strong relationship with my clients in order to improve their self-esteem and empower them to make the necessary changes in their lives. Offering a non-judgemental and approachable listening ear, it’s my mission to help those who need it most, especially those who have already had a negative experience of counselling, I practice in a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment.

I have been practicing as a full-time Counsellor since 2002. I have worked in a variety of settings and for a wide variety of clients from young children to couples. I work as a Client Centred therapist helping clients find ways to live a more fulfilling life. Helping clients find out who they are, not who they are trying or feel they ought to be.

Hi, my name is Joanna, and thanks for visiting my page. There are times in everyone’s life when we need help, not only with physical ailments, but also with our minds. You may be feeling confused, upset, angry or experiencing a loss of direction; therapy can help unpick all of this. You may be experiencing relationship issues and are not sure how to approach them, or just feel ‘stuck’. We can unknowingly carry traumatic experiences around with us, which can impact upon our mind, body and behaviours. I work at your pace, ensuring you will feel heard, comfortable and safe, and offer respect and unconditional acceptance.

I love working for the NHS as a specialist counsellor and have done so for 27 years. I am BACP registered with accreditation and have a huge wealth of experience and training to help with any problem. Issues can include relationships, family, anxiety, bereavement, stress, depression, negative body image, employment, self esteem, abuse and addictions. Whatever the issue you're facing don’t struggle alone, I’m here to listen with warmth, empathy and without judgement. I'll help you find your own path through the issues that overwhelm you. We’ll find a way to make your life better.

As an integrative practitioner I call upon a range of concepts and therapeutic tools to help clients deal with dysfunctional ways of feeling, behaving and living. My principle belief is that despite the problems we encounter, we all have the capacity for change. sometimes this is hard to visualise, difficult to accept. problems can appear overwhelming and insurmountable. By working in collaboration with clients, as partner's with a common purpose, unhealthy rules for living and core beliefs can be challenged, this can lead clients to happier more fulfilling ways of being that reach into our untapped potential.

Are you fed up of feeling like you never fit in? Maybe you're tired of masking your true self through fear of other people's judgements, criticisms or rejection? These are experiences I hear from clients so frequently. I work with people that want to find ways to live more authentically, to be more comfortable in expressing their true selves. I support clients to uncover their natural ways of being, to unmask and find ways to express their true emotions. I have a passion and a wealth of knowledge (professionally and personally) of supporting neurodiverse clients (predominantly, though not exclusively clients with autism and ADHD).

No matter what you bring to therapy, I will treat you with warmth and respect. Free consultation available to all. I have a comfortable room in Stockport Centre. I have years experience and am naturally confident in creating a relaxed welcoming environment, where you, can freely express your thoughts, and feelings and truly be heard. I aim to bring into focus the tools, strategies and techniques you already have that empower growth and forward movement in life. I will assist in finding new perspectives, where appropriate, that help to bring self-awareness, strength, self-belief and enable positive personal growth and change.

Hi, I'm Sarah. We all have times when we find it hard to cope. Counselling can help you understand why you think, feel and act like you do. It can help you develop positive strategies to get what you want out of life. How we think, feel and behave is part of being human. Problems can arise when we get 'stuck' in negative thought patterns; when our feelings become overwhelming; when our behaviour is self-destructive and doesn't result in us getting what we need; when we worry about the future, dwell on the past and find it hard to live in the present. I believe the most important relationship we have is the relationship with ourself.

I offer my services to a variety of clients. I have experience working in the NHS as a mental health practitioner & social worker. I am able to support individuals, couples, young people, and families with mental health concerns working collaboratively to try improve the current situation, and make meaningful lasting change. I am able to offer face to face sessions at the Retreat Clinic Manchester, call on the number above and ask for myself, and if I'm not available, they can offer alternative therapies or therapists. Get in touch!

I am an experienced and qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am registered with the BACP (British Association For Counselling & Psychotherapy). My name is Patrick Breheny, I am a father of three young boys and Husband. I believe in good communication both in my personal life and professional life, I have a strong belief that Counselling is a way of life and I use the foundations of Counselling to enhance all my relationships. Born in Manchester I am familiar with the culture and the togetherness Manchester brings to peoples lives.

I specialise in all types of anxiety, especially Health Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) I also have a lot of experience with phobias, social anxiety and low self esteem. I use innovative ways to reduce all forms of anxiety. I understand completely how these disorders can ruin lives and my aim with all clients is to find solutions that allow them to live well again.

I’m Jay, here to help you with your anxiety, self-limiting beliefs and be your best self. As a gay man with ADHD, I understand the struggles that come with being part of a minority community. I have experienced first-hand how it feels to be held back by debilitating anxiety, fear of abandonment, rejection and low self-worth as a result of the messages that are all-too-often received as an individual living in what can feel like an isolating world.

Navigating overwhelming feelings alone can be daunting. Starting on the path of seeking therapeutic support is a significant step. Within counselling and psychotherapy, there are no ‘one size fits all’ approaches. I am trained in a number of therapies which means that I offer a wide menu of therapeutic techniques, tailoring therapy to your specific needs and preferences. Our work can be structured and focused, or exploratory and discovery based, depending on your goals. I blend cognitive behavioural therapy with person centred practice and can use specific therapy models if needed.
