Counselling in South Manchester, Cheshire and Online

Welcome and thank you for visiting Talking Spa Therapeutic Counselling.
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
I am based in South Manchester and cover the surrounding areas of Cheshire including Sale, Timperley, Altrincham, Hale, Alderley edge, Wilmslow, Knutsford, Lymm, Northwich and Warrington.
I also offer online counselling.
Therapeutic counselling in a safe and trusting space where you can access your inner voice.
I offer a quiet place away from the world to refresh the most important part of you, your emotional wellness. Based in Lymm in a peaceful country setting, I can work with you to accommodate the environment you`re most comfortable in, be it inside, outside, at your home or even online.
My aim is to facilitate you to a safer and more confident version of yourself, to feel lighter and happier again and for you to have greater self-awareness and acquire the skills in which to manage life.
I am formally trained and qualified to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, so you can be rest assured that I offer professional therapy at a nationally recognised level.
As well as being a qualified counsellor, I am also fully qualified in the experience of many of the challenges and traumas that life can bring. I can attest to anxieties leading us to being stuck or lost in a bad place and, as a result I can offer genuine empathy and understanding, knowing that things can change for the better.
Speak in Confidence
If you need a quiet, calm and safe space to voice your anxieties, stresses or even just somewhere for clearer reflection then I provide a tranquil and therapeutic environment in which to bring your inner voice.
A problem shared in a safe space
More than ever, life is fast, aggressive, complex and tiring. It is too easy to find yourself snared in a difficult place and unable to find a way out whatever the issue is. In times of stress, anxiety and depression we can become disconnected from the ability to find solutions, think clearly or cope at all. As a result, our confidence and self esteem can be badly impaired. These are the times where we need the right support to be able to access our instinctive wisdom and regain the confidence to move forward with new skills in which to cope.
Make better, healthier new choices
Working together will be about empowering you to develop the tools, skills and resources required to effect the positive change needed in your life. Having a safe place to vocalise, reflect and then clearly see what is needed ensures that this therapeutic process can highly beneficial for your personal growth and wellbeing and most of all, for you to feel lighter and happier again!

My working base is Cheshire Wellness Centre at Lymm Marina within easy reach of south Manchester, north Cheshire and junction 7 of the M56. However, I also offer home visits for an agreed additional fee and online counselling.
Fees & Availability
When starting a new counselling relationship with me, we`ll begin with an initial free 20-minute telephone assessment. This allows me to get a feel and understanding of who you are and what you are contending with and also for you to feel if I am the right counsellor for you.
Counselling sessions last for 60 minutes and cost £50 per session, my recommended starting point is a plan of 4 to 8 sessions however, every person and situation are different. We may find the eureka moment early and complete our work ahead of time, work to an agreed date or continue sessions for as long as you will benefit from them. It’s all about when the time is right for you.
This is a significant investment in your mental and emotional wellbeing, however, when you are able to reclaim your health and happiness and are no longer carrying the debilitating burdens daily, you will feel the benefit of your investment tenfold.
Note that if you want to cancel an appointment, I require 24 hours’ notice; otherwise, you will still need to pay for the session missed.
Payments are required 24 hours before the session and can be made by bank transfer.
Get in Touch
The best time to begin the journey to change is now, get in touch for your free consultation and become the version of yourself that you’re meant to be.
