Group 9

Family & Relationships

Working with family members has become an area that I feel passionate about.  We are informed by “society” to love and care for our family.  What if family is the one place where you are hurt or harmed, you don’t feel you belong, or you just don’t want to be around them.  Seek my support with any of these issues.  We will explore what is going on for you in confidence, and work on ways to manage how you feel and behave when around your family.  

Depression

Depression can affect anyone at anytime. It may begin with a life event such as loss of a loved one, loss of a job etc.  Depression can also happen when our life is not going how we would like.  It can be a debilitating experience which prevents you from enjoying experiences you once loved such as socialising.   If this sounds familiar, get in touch.  We can work together, allowing you to work through your thoughts and feelings, which will encourage and support you to live a happier life. 

Anxiety

Anxiety can surface at any time, usually when you are feeling scared of the unknown.  Your heart rate will increase, your breathing may become shallow, along with a rapid heart rate.  Your thoughts may turn negative, and you begin to worry and also you find it difficult to concentrate.  Those who are taking exams, have job interviews, or when leaving their home, may cause some of these symptoms. Working together, you will gain tools that you can use to monitor and control your anxiety, whenever the need arises.

About me

My governing body is BACP  https://www.bacp.co.uk/ do visit this site as it has lots of information around Counselling which may support your search for a therapist and allow you to identify the role of a therapist and help to answer any questions you may have. To ensure we are safe whilst working together, I also invest in public liability insurance as this is a requirement whilst you visit my therapy room. 

I am passionate about my role as a therapist, offering support to assist and enable positive mental health to those I work with.  We work together exploring your world, the ways in which you think and behave.  Looking at your history and experiences which you have lived, as well as what is taking place presently.    

As a part of my role I am required undertake regular training (CPD), which allows me to continually add to my skill set.  From time to time, I will bring new ways of working to my practice, sharing the newness, if and when necessary, with you as the client.  CPD allows me to engage in areas of interest and learn about new discoveries of ways of working with mental health, interpersonal dynamics also with areas which apply to the current client group.  The therapy world is forever changing and improving, new discoveries and advancements of the therapy world. 

I am based within Manchester City Centre, in an easily accessible building, that provides a warm, safe and confidential space for our work together.  You are welcome to get in touch for your complimentary session.  This allows both of us to meet, you gain the opportunity to  become familiar with my therapy room.  During this time, I will share with you how I work, and you have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. You are under no obligation at this point.  I encourage you to take your time to consider your choice of therapist, as you need to feel comfortable and safe for our sessions to be successful

Testimonials

Angela is a fantastic therapist, compassionate, caring and understanding. She is very knowledgeable and the advice and strategies she gave me helped me so much in overcoming and dealing with my trauma following my mum's passing. It's a long journey of course in the grief process and its effect on your mind but thanks to Angela I am now better equipped to deal with my issues and to move forward with positivity. Thank you Angela
I wish I could bottle your thoughts, wisdom and support. Some of the nuggets you have said, will stay with me forever. Thank you
"Angela has helped me to process certain events in my life and given me the space to talk about personal experiences I wouldn't otherwise."
"I am able to form and enjoy better relationships with my wife and children and able to feel a lot calmer in myself in every day situations."
"I have been able to think through how to better myself by thinking positively about myself, exploring what feelings shape my behaviour and searching for 'self.' I'm able to make decisions based off my genuine self, as opposed to how I feel others should feel."
"Angela helped me catch my overthinking. Managing that and rethinking the way I approach situations :)"
"These sessions have helped me massively. They have helped me to not only come to terms with my friend's death, but also to deal with it. The sessions have also helped me to deal with past traumas and my way of thinking, and how I approach life on a daily basis."
"I feel very comfortable and safe during counselling, and I can see my mental health improve. I look forward to counselling and I feel as if things are getting better for me due to this."
