Individual Therapy
Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy in Stockport and Online
Sometimes, life feels heavy, or we find ourselves stuck in loops of anxiety, sadness or self-doubt that we just can’t shake off. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Individual therapy offers a confidential, compassionate space to unpack what is holding you back and rediscover your innate capacity for growth and change.
How You Might Be Feeling
Clients usually come to see me when they are experiencing:
Emotional Overwhelm or Burnout
Feeling constantly stressed, anxious, or unable to cope with daily demands of life.
A Persistent Cloud
Living with low mood, depression, or a sense of emptiness that makes it hard to connect with joy.
The Inner Critic
Feeling plagued by perfectionism, harsh self judgement, or a nagging sense of not being good enough.
Life Transitions
Struggling to adapt to big changes, such as a career shift, relationship breakdown or entering a new stage of life.
Relational Echoes
Realising that past experiences, childhood dynamics or old traumas are actively bleeding into your present day happiness.
Relationship Breakdown
Navigating loss and confusion, finding resolution and a way forward when the future feels empty without the other person, whether that be a previous spouse, partner, friend or career colleagues.
Healing from Coercive and Narcissistic Relationships
Understanding cognitive dissonance, receiving validation and healing from these types of relationships and prevention of this in future relationships. Relationships that have been with intimate partners, family members, friends, bosses and work colleagues.
How We Will Work Together
Using Transactional Analysis and other integrative therapies where necessary, our sessions go beyond just talking about problems, we look at the underlying blueprint of how you view yourself and the world.
Shifting From ‘Survival’ to ‘Thriving’
We will look at the coping mechanisms you built as a child. While they kept you safe then, they may be limiting now.
Reclaiming Your ‘Adult’ Space
We will work to quieten the harsh, critical internal voices (‘Parent’ ego state) and heal the anxious or hurt parts of you (‘Child’ ego state), allowing you to live from a grounded, confident, and present ‘Adult’ state.
Rewriting Your Story
You are not broken and everyone has the capacity for change. Together we will uncover your unconscious ‘life script’ and empower you to write new, healthier chapters moving forward.
