During our therapy sessions, we encourage you to talk about your issues with us which in and of itself can be extremely beneficial, although sometimes it is best not to dwell on negative and painful memories (as alluded earlier there are more appropriate ways of dealing with such matters in a ‘content free’ way). During our counselling in Stockport, we take time to look at your whole life, what drives you, where you spend your time and energy and where your self-care is. There is also a range of techniques we can offer during our counselling that can help you in these situations such as meditation, mindfulness, metaphor, and self-hypnosis.

Counselling and psychotherapy in Stockport

Counselling and psychotherapy are two of the services that we offer to the people of Stockport, South Manchester and Cheshire; from our therapy centre in Bramhall.

One of the strengths of counselling is that it can be different things for different people.

Counselling is based on a private meeting between two people (or three in couples counselling).  One a trained and qualified counsellor who will encourage a non-judgemental trusting relationship, which is believed by many therapists to be a part of the healing process.

This trusting and safe environment and relationship allows you to work through your problems and issues and perhaps come to a sense of understanding and acceptance.

The counsellor will encourage rather than advise and will help you to come to you own conclusions and perhaps see your world differently. The end result is often a sense of self worth and clarity and we are often told that this is the first time someone feels that have been properly listened to.
