In Person Counselling in Macclesfield

I offer professional yet down to earth counselling, allowing you to explore life's difficulties (whatever they may be) and find a way forward that’s right for you. Talking really helps. When we’re overwhelmed, confused or feel that something isn’t right with us, talking to someone independent, who will listen with sensitivity and without judgement, can really help bring awareness and enable personal change.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore your feelings, heal wounds and build your resilience to whatever life may present? Hello, I’m Shani (pronounced Shaynee). I am a registered member of the BACP and follow the Person-Centred model of counselling, meaning I believe that everyone has the ability to rebuild themselves and flourish. I am also a qualified British School of Meditation Teacher meaning I can offer alternative ways to manage stress, tune into your inner calm and ultimately, find peace in your life.

Hi, I’m Gaby, and I'm here to support you to find a creative way through your challenges. I've been working in the field of mental health for 12 years, and in that time I've gathered a toolkit of different approaches which allows me to tailor therapy to meet your individual needs. We can work towards a particular goal of your choice, or we can take an exploratory, open-ended approach. Either way, sessions will go at your own pace and on your terms.

I believe that when we’re free of emotional and psychological problems, we are able to live our lives to the fullest and reach our potential, for a life without limits. By looking after our mental health, we naturally improve the quality of our life. Good mental health, strengthens and supports our ability to maintain good physical health.

I specialise in a person-centred modality of counselling, which means the sessions are led by you. Whatever you are finding challenging I aim to offer a safe neutral space for you to talk about what ever you feel is important too you. I work online by Zoom, I also offer walk & talk in the beautiful nature of Macclesfield Cheshire. Walk and talk therapy has many beneficial aspects and suits a more relaxed environment.

Not everyone has the same approach to life's problems such as personal and psychosexual relationships, grief, loss, bereavement, illness and stress, nor to the typical challenges of family relationships. The context of culture, ethnicity, race, gender, class, sexual orientation and spiritual beliefs influence the ways in which we view the world and how the world views us. I work with couples and families, children, teens and individuals, to resolve issues in a way that is sensitive to their culture and context; and together we develop solutions that are congruent with their values. I like to work from a strengths based orientation

We all have times when we struggle with life, we may have issues with anxiety, depression, behaviours we are uncomfortable with, habits we want to break, discord in relationships or breakdowns in communication. However life impacts you, whether you recognise that something isn't right, feel out of sorts or just feel general dissatisfaction with your life, you may benefit from support to explore what troubles you and identify the changes you need to make. Together we can identify your needs, establish some goals and I can help you take a positive step towards the future you wish for yourself.

I am a warm, friendly and non-judgemental, qualified and widely experienced counsellor. I can help you to disentangle what is bothering you and develop a plan of action to move forward with your life. I have successfully supported others in overcoming many different issues, including: relationship issues with family, friends or romantic partners, anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement.

Hello I am wondering if you are finding life a bit tough right now. Maybe you are feeling anxious and worried about the future. People I work with often feel that life is getting on top of them, they are not living the life they want - they have lost confidence, sometimes feeling afraid, frustrated, lonely - experiencing a range of emotions that feel difficult to understand and work through. I can help you deal with those big and small ups and downs in life. Feelings of panic, anxiety and stress Perhaps a relationship issue is causing you some concern. Together we can find ways to help you deal with these feelings and emotions

People usually contact me around issues of embodiment - meaning they are either overwhelmed by physical, emotional and psychological pain or the opposite - numb and cut-off from life. I have specialist training to work psycho-somatically. I support people working through complex trauma and dissociation. Associated with this are day-to-day issues in relationships arising from adaptations to trauma through life. As clients experience themselves as more connected/embodied their focus often shifts to creative self-expression and how to maintain aliveness in a world that often does not support its expression.

Life can either feel or in fact be challenging at times. I believe from time to time we all need some space to safely explore, make sense, let go, make peace and grow. I offer a safe confidential non-judgmental space to explore. The snowdrop symbolises hope and transformation, a new beginning. My aim is to help you take a journey in which you can face, understand and overcome situations that may seem hopeless, help you find warmth, develop a new found confidence to enable you to grow and blossom. I have many years' experience as a qualified counsellor. My main areas of work; LGBT+ , Depression,Eating disorders.

SPACE is an organisation creating a space for change, health and wellbeing through a variety of services. All of which can offer you a safe and confidential space within which to think, feel and explore whatever it is you may be facing.

Adolescence is a time of exploring the world and figuring out who we are and therefore relationships are fundamental, in order to grow up, into a happy healthy human being. Breakdown in relationships, such as suffering a bereavement, not getting on with someone close to you, going through a big change, or feeling lonely and isolated can lead to feeling depressed. I have seen great results using this time limited intervention and would like to help more young people get back on track and enjoying life.

If you experience an internal negative dialogue that causes you distress, you may feel it is impossible to get out of this cycle leading to exhaustion, confusion and a sense of feeling weighed down by your life. Feeling hopeless and stuck can create a longing to be understood. I have several years experience of working with domestic abuse; complex trauma, anxiety, depression and mood disorders. My approach is concerned with healing of mental, emotional, and physical health. I help people learn about and understand themselves at a deeper level leading to greater acceptance of themselves.
