Counselling in WA16

My primary modality is Person Centred, however I have worked with the knowledge of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Schema Therapy and Transactional Analysis (TA) which I often use in my practice. I have practiced as a Counsellor for 15 years specialising in behavioural addictions, domestic abuse and general mental health and well-being.

Working with clients in active addiction to recognise potential patterns in their own lives that has led to their addictive behaviours.

Hi, I'm Joanne, I'm a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR practitioner based in Knutsford, Cheshire. I specialise in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety problems, low confidence, depression and trauma-related difficulties.

I am a kind and empathetic psychotherapist providing a safe, calm and non-judgemental environment. I'd like to help you work towards leading a more fulfilled and happy life. We all need time and space to talk, whether it’s a complex issue, a change/upheaval, long standing difficulty or you simply need some “me time”. My therapeutic style is compassion focused; we could all benefit from being a little kinder to ourselves. My goal is for you to build healthier coping tools, emotional resilience and start living the life you want to live.

*Offering online/telephone/walking counselling * Hello, my name is Lisa, I’m a qualified counsellor based in Knutsford, Cheshire. We have all faced times in our lives where we have encountered struggles, felt overwhelmed and maybe experiencing problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues or losing sense of who we are. You may have support from people around you and gain comfort from this, although sometimes what you may want to talk about may not be simply shared. This is when a talking to a professional counsellor may help to explore coping strategies and work together towards the results you may desire.

Hi, my name is Debbie. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you are reading you have already taken the first step...I provide counselling for children, young people, adults. I also provide support for families to meet their identified needs. I work with many presenting issues, such as; anxiety, abuse, loss & bereavement, isolation, depression, exploitation, low mood, relationships, self harm, self worth, stress and many others. I also provide Clinical Supervision to therapists and practitioners. Additional to this I provide EAP Counselling. When individuals seek counselling they have identified that they no longer want to feel sad, lonely, hurt, struggling with day to day life. They want to feel well again, feel happy & positive, be able to focus and plan for the future, improve their wellbeing...

People decide to look for therapy for many reasons; stress, anxiety or depression, difficulties in relationships; anything that's stopping them living the life they want. I place importance on helping clients understand the causes, not simply focusing on the symptoms. Ultimately, knowing yourself better is the key to a more fulfilling life, with improved relationships and feeling better within yourself on a day to day basis.

Hi, I’m an integrative counsellor working with a variety of issues including bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression and relationships, coping with change and self-esteem issues. I understand that seeking help from a counsellor can be a daunting experience. I create a welcoming and supportive environment, based on respect, empathy and trust, where you feel in control of your own therapeutic process. Sessions are based on what you choose to bring and explore to help you find a way of dealing with life’s challenges and help you gain a sense of stability to improve your well-being. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, you may be finding it difficult to cope at the moment and feeling overwhelmed and swamped with life's pressures. Perhaps you have suffered a loss, a trauma or are struggling to make sense of your present or past experiences. Does it feel like you have too many anxious thoughts on your mind and are finding it hard to prioritise or want to escape?

Hi. My name is Carol. I am a accredited counsellor and member of the NCS. The qualification I have is person centred focused but as it was a integrative course I am able to work with other modalities if they are required during our sessions. As counselling is a personal journey for yourself and the goals you have for therapy are yours, I will be guided by yourself in the direction you want to head towards. Along this journey times may require more direction which is when other ways of working together can be discussed and integrated if need be.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming. You may have lost your sense of self, or purpose in life. Perhaps you’re ready to heal the deep emotional wounds you carry. I am an experienced Person-Centred counsellor offering a calm, nurturing space, where you can gently explore what is at the root of your distress. I will be beside you, ensuring care and safety as you face your troubles. Whether it's working through painful times, creating more harmonious relationships or discovering ways to enrich your life, whatever you bring can be worked with. I have 16 years experience supporting adults and young people with their mental health.

If you would describe yourself as a People-Pleaser, keep on reading. I work with women who struggle to say no, feel guilty all the time, and feel selfish when they look after their own needs. People pleasing is exhausting. I know, I've been there myself. I can help you to learn how to treat yourself with the same compassion as you do others, to learn how to put the boundaries in place that you so desperately need, to develop friendships that give you the connection and two-way support you wish for, and most importantly to learn how to say no without overwhelming feelings of guilt.

I aim to support any adult, child, young person, family or organisation to maximise their potential and effectively manage the difficulties that life often brings. I believe that by building an understanding of your social, emotional, psychological and physical needs, you can be supported to feel safe, ready to cope and able to achieve the goals that matter to you. My aim will be to help you to explore your needs, to better understand the difficulties you face and to provide tailored psychological support, based on a wide range of evidence based interventions to help develop solutions that work for you.

Work with me to quickly and efficiently clear whatever is holding you back. Or maybe you just need someone you feel safe to talk with. How would you feel if you didn’t have those difficult feelings or traumatic memories? Those feelings that can seem impossible or overwhelming really can feel different. Or perhaps you have a current situation to deal with and do not want to dive into the past - I will not make you start from the "beginning". We can work through your experiences in a gentle way, and it could even be fun! Well done on getting this far and considering some support at this time - I would be pleased to work with you.

Are you struggling, maybe having problems with your relationship, family or friends? Maybe you are feeling dissatisfied, overwhelmed, guilty, upset or angry? Whatever feelings you have, it usually means pain for you in some way. Counselling isn’t just something people do when they are in crisis or at rock bottom, attending before problems snowball or get too overwhelming can help and save more pain in the long run. Many clients feel lighter and better after the first session because therapy can really help.

Hi. My name is Alison. I am an adult and children and young person's counsellor. During our counselling sessions I will provide you with a non-judgemental and empathic space where we can work together to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I will offer empathy and be there as a listening ear to help you open up and discuss any issues and worries you wish to talk about. We will work at a suitable pace for you to help to understand and talk through the underlying reasons you may be feeling stuck or struggling in life. We’ll explore the past and present to help you to heal and become more self aware so you can move forward.

I am passionate in helping individuals and couples to take the right steps for them. I support my clients, to make a difference or find an acceptance in their life. I work with my clients in exploring the difficulties fears re experiencing and we work to gain an understanding of thoughts and feelings. Their emotional disturbance can be discussed and put in to perspective to help make changes to the unhealthy thought or behavioural patterns. Sometimes, addressing where the negative beliefs have originated from, helps to find the positive changes and overcomes the difficulties. Giving my clients a new awareness, growth and belief.

Welcome I’m Sally, life is a roller coaster, we ride the highs and struggle with the painful lows. I understand taking the step to seek help and share your experiences is hard and scary, it takes courage, so trust is paramount within the therapeutic relationship. I offer a safe, supportive, non judgmental and empathetic environment, taking your direction to walk along side you. Time is precious, our own needs are usually low on our list. Focusing on ourselves and investing in our well-being enables growth and clarity. Self love is core in all of our relationships. Finding our own inner happiness and taking power back, creates peace
