Manchester – this one’s for you 🖤

The endless rain, the rent that keeps climbing, the job that drains you, the “I’m fine” you keep repeating when you’re really not.

If you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s or older and quietly struggling with:

• Anxiety that feels constant
• Low mood you can’t shift
• Burnout from work or uni
• Relationship stress
• Just feeling lost or overwhelmed

…this is your sign to finally get so focused support.

I’m Jamie, a qualified counsellor based in Chorlton. I work with people who feel exactly like you do right now.

No judgement, no fluff – just honest, practical therapy that actually helps.

Session are £55, Saturday mornings available.

Spots fill fast because I keep my client group small on purpose.

Feeling overwhelmed by everything you’re carrying?

Sometimes it feels like we’re lugging around a giant sack of thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and struggles. But remember, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Counselling is a safe space to unpack that bag, to explore what’s inside, and to find healthier ways to manage it all.

Deciding to begin talking therapy can feel daunting. I offer a FREE 20-minute telephone or video call to answer any questions you may have.

Our first full session would be an assessment. This is an opportunity to:
* EXPLORE what has brought you to therapy and your goals.
* SHARE key aspects of your history and where you are now.
* UNDERSTAND how I can support you, the types of therapy I can provide, my qualifications and professional standards.
* Begin to BUILD TRUST through openness, honesty, congruence, compassion and non-judgemental acceptance.
* Attend to any CONCERNS or questions you may have.
* Sense if we are a GOOD FIT to work together. If so, we would agree a contract to set mutual boundaries and expectations.

After the assessment is complete, we would agree to:
* An initial block of 6 or 8 sessions.
* Sessions on the same day and time each week.
* Meet online, in a therapy room, walk & talk/ecotherapy or a combination of these.
Therapy rooms and ecotherapy locations: Chorlton (Manchester) and Saddleworth.

When we are coming towards the end of our initial block of sessions, we would then agree to either:
1. Transition to an open-ended contract; or
2. Work towards a good ending.

If you would like to explore the benefits of talking therapy, please contact Paul for a FREE 20-minute call:

Self - care September - Action for Happiness

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” - Dr Peter Levine

We are all traumatised to some degree. We don't have to have been subjected to an extreme event such as a terrorist attack, a sexual assault or a war zone. Trauma happens when we are subjected to any emotionally or psychologically distressing experience that we cannot deal with alone and we lack an empathetic witness to provide supportive care, grounding and reassurance.

Certain types of psychotherapy can help us process and heal trauma. Please get in touch if you would like to explore this. I currently have weekday slots available online and face-to-face in Chorlton (Manchester) and Saddleworth - in the therapy rooms or 'walk & talk' sessions in nature.

Here's a talk I did about trauma a few years ago:
