Counselling in Stockport
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 sick of saying yes when you want to say no? Do you want to be able to say ‘no’ without feeling guilty or full of anxiety, and feel comfortable and confident doing it? No wonder you feel anxious and stressed. Being preoccupied with what everyone else thinks and feels makes it hard to switch off and is exhausting! It's also a sign you may be stuck in a cycle of sacrificing your own needs for others. The good news is this can stop. You can retain the positive qualities that make you the kind person you are and make space for the real you! This is where my approach comes in.

You will receive a safe, accepting environment, where I will listen, and support you to become more aware of how to make the right choices for yourself. I can work with self-esteem and self-image issues, and issues such as life-direction. I share the view, in modern psychology, that people thrive when they are living their life aligned with those values which hold most meaning for them. Living a meaningful, or meaning-guided life, is often at the core of many issues. Many people have never had a safe space to explore their values and assess what is ultimately meaningful to them, and I am able to offer this in our work together.

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. You may be looking for sessions to address a specific problem such as depression, anxiety, or addiction; or to explore the patterns that you get into in your relationships with others and yourself; or because there has been great change or loss in your life and you are wondering how you can move forward.

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.

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.

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.

I thrive in working with people from different walks of life and personal and professional backgrounds with credibility, confidence, and understanding. My approach is friendly and informal and I am skilled at guiding you throughout your therapeutic journey. I bring openness and warmth to the sessions and strive to create a warm and open therapeutic environment. I have additional qualifications and experience in working with long-term health conditions and the impact this has on mental health.

If you’re at a point in your life where you’re struggling, feeling low, anxious, or alone with your problems, I would genuinely like to listen, understand and help you find a way forward. It is not always easy to speak to those closest to us, especially if worried about how they might respond. You don’t need to be alone with your thoughts, feelings, or issues anymore. I will listen with compassion and really hear what it is like for you and work with you to help you see a way forward.

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.
