Relationship Issues Counselling in Stockport

I prioritise a psychodynamic approach to therapy, this means that I place an importance upon the therapeutic relationship and what may be happening, consciously or unconsciously, between us within the consulting room. I assist people to become aware of conflicting, and often unconscious, aspects of themselves which can be a catalyst for self-awareness and change. Our work together would be explorative, we will be curious about your processes and how you make sense of your life experiences; from this we can we then learn to understand how past ways of being disrupt your present day living.

Do you want to be free of Anxiety, constant overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, these are some of the topics I work with and have helped clients to see things differently. Do you want it to stop and be free of the anxiety, then I can help with that. We explore this together and put steps in place to get rid of it for good. Do you experience stress in the workplace or in your relationship, but you do not want to talk to friends or family, this is a space to do that openly and without limits. Have you kept a bereavement or loss to yourself so you don't "burden" others, I can help with that also. Get in touch for a chat.

Hi. Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? Have you been struggling with relationships? Is your relationship strained at the moment? Perhaps you are struggling to rebuild trust after an affair? Or you (and maybe your partner) just feel very unhappy at the moment, and are looking for a way to feel better and happier. I specialise in working with couples and relationships. My work is about helping you to understand why you feel the way you do, and then support you to make the changes necessary.

Talking about your problems can be difficult, even with people who love and care about you. Sometimes you don't know where to turn.

I am here to offer you support, and to respond to you sensitively, honestly and without judgement. Having that safe space to hear your own voice and know that you are understood is the first step to seeing the path ahead.

With an effective and compassionate approach, I provide experienced and confidential counselling support from which you will develop self awareness and insight as well as learning coping strategies and techniques.

Sessions can be held face to face (with covid risk measures in place) or via Zoom video calling.

When life gets hard we can find ourselves revisiting old patterns in how we treat ourselves and other people. Perhaps we reach for unhelpful ways to cope, or end up feeling ashamed and stuck.

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 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.

Hi I'm Susie. I believe that relationships are really important. We encounter lots of different relationships over the course of our lives: friends, siblings, parents, bosses, co-workers…and then there’s the relationship we have with ourselves. Our unique life experiences inform our thoughts, feelings and behaviours; and sometimes we can get stuck in outdated patterns. Common mental health conditions such as: depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, and addiction, are often symptoms of the effects of adverse life experiences. Treating the underlying causes of whichever symptoms are affecting you can dramatically reduce their impact.
