Hi I’m Chloé. I’m a BABCP registered Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I support clients experiencing common mental health difficulties I offer support to clients with Depression, Generalised Anxiety, Low self esteem, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Specific Phobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) including birth trauma and more. I do specialise (but am not limited to) the perinatal/ postnatal period.

It isn't often, in our everyday lives, that we feel truly heard, understood and accepted without sensing judgement or criticism from others. I deeply acknowledge and understand the loneliness that comes from struggling in silence with life's difficulties. Therapy offers you a calm space to begin to tell your story; permission to pause and reflect on what you have been through, validate your response to trauma and loss and gently navigate the path forward. I will support you on your therapeutic journey, gently empowering you to realise your inner resources and ways of coping and navigating your world so that you feel more in control.

I offer woman-centred, personalised and sensitive support for women who have or are experiencing infertility, miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy, late term loss, a traumatic birth or traumatic postnatal period. The deep emotional wound from these experiences can lead to a downward spiral that impairs your thinking, ability to feel truly happy and live at peace in the moment. But this is not permanent and I can work with you to recover from anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma symptoms, feeling stuck, overwhelm, emotional outbursts or imbalances and relationship struggles with your yourself, partner, child or family.

I offer specialist assessment and therapeutic support through pregnancy and parenting. You may be here because you have experienced loss, a traumatic birth, are finding parenthood overwhelming or becoming a parent has reignited painful memories from your own childhood. Perhaps you have children and don’t understand their mental health needs, your feelings or response towards them. Such experiences can allow unhelpful feelings of guilt, anger and shame to creep in which only further fuel anxiety, depression and hopelessness.

Everyone comes to therapy with a loss, whether that is a bereavement, a relationship break-up, changes in health, the loss of a friendship, a change of job, etc. There are many different endings that we go through in life. Therapy is a safe and supportive place to talk, it provides the opportunity to process what has happened and to explore who you are now and how you can move forward. Therapy is a place where you can say out loud all of those things you can't say elsewhere. You can talk about things you may not feel able to talk about with friends or family.

I work within a person-centred approach, allowing you to lead with the issues you would like to bring to sessions

Hello, I'm Katie. I offer psychotherapy and counselling to adults at my private garden office in Bramhall, Stockport and online. I provide a nurturing, open and honest space, where you can talk about your difficulties, without judgment. Having experienced therapy myself, I know it can take time to feel comfortable talking to a stranger, but there is no rush. We will work together at your pace and comfort level. For me, therapy is about getting in touch with who we are. By developing our self-awareness and gaining insight into our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, we can develop the freedom to change what isn't working for us.
