Counselling

A warm, non-judgemental, person-centred space to explore what’s happening in your life and relationships. Counselling is available for individuals and couples, in person in Manchester city centre or online, and starts with a free 15-minute consultation.

Counselling for individuals

People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. You might be dealing with stress, anxiety or low mood, going through a difficult change or loss, or simply feeling stuck and wanting to understand yourself better. You don’t need to have a clear “problem” to come along. Counselling gives you time and space to talk things through with someone who will listen without judging.

Counselling for couples

Couples counselling offers a safe space for you and your partner to talk openly, understand each other better and work through difficulties together, whether that’s communication, conflict, trust or a change in your relationship.

What is person-centred counselling?

Person-centred counselling is based on the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Rather than telling you what to do, your counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and honesty, so you can explore your feelings and find your own way forward at your own pace.

Mind and body

Jose is both a registered osteopath and a qualified counsellor. This gives him a holistic perspective on how emotional pain can show up in the body, and how physical pain can affect how we feel.
