Manchester and Trafford Therapy and Counselling

Manchester and Trafford  Therapy and Counselling I’m an experienced therapist & Supervisor with 25yrs work with children,teens & adults. I receive regular supervision in line with BACP requirement.

I adapt different therapies to your needs, offer well informed supervision to both students counsellors and therapists. I have years of experience working as a counsellor in schools, colleges, and at several local government services . I work with a variety of problems such as anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harming, eating disorders, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress and lack

of direction in life' and parent support . How can I help you? Counselling can help you with many different issues. You might be feeling anxious or depressed. You might have lost someone close or been involved in an accident. You might have low self-esteem or feel a little stuck, with no sense of direction. You might simply want to know yourself better and feel more fulfilled. How Do We Begin? After our initial meeting we will jointly decide whether counselling is the best option for you and whether we feel that we can work together. Should you decide this is not for you, I will help you finding which option is best for you. If we feel that I can help you we will then agree to meet again. You may want to use counselling to help you to find a solution to a particular problem. In this case counselling will be focused and short-term. After one or two initial sessions we will set targets and agree on a small number of meetings. However, if you want a more in depth exploration of your difficulties and their underlying causes, we might agree to work on a longer-term basis. My therapeutic approach

Each one of us is different and there is more than one way of understanding our world. This is why my therapeutic model is integrative. This means that I use several theoretical frameworks in order to provide the best approach for the individual needs of each client.

( The unspoken about subject! Yet so common)

Sometimes bullying by senior staff is not obvious.

It's not something you can identify easily.

It can be much more insidious than that.

It can feel uncomfortable…

but hard to explain.

You leave a conversation feeling smaller.

You replay what was said afterwards.

You wonder whether you are being too sensitive.

You notice that certain people are warm to others…

but cold, clipped or dismissive with you.

You are asked to do things in a way that sounds casual…

but feels loaded.

You are criticised for not knowing things you were never told.

You are made to feel awkward for asking reasonable questions.

You are given mixed messages…

then somehow blamed for misunderstanding.

You are spoken to differently when no one else is there.

You are subtly excluded from information you need to do your job properly.

You are made to feel that raising a concern is “making a fuss.”

You are thanked publicly…

but undermined privately.

You are expected to absorb pressure without showing any strain.

And when you try to explain what is happening…

it sounds too small.

Too vague.

Too hard to prove.

That is often how subtle bullying works.

It chips away at your confidence quietly.

It makes you question your judgement.

It makes you feel as though the problem might be you.

And I want to be honest here.

I do not have a neat piece of advice for this.

Because subtle bullying can be incredibly hard to prove.

You can write things down.

You can keep dates.

You can try to explain the pattern.

But when each incident looks small on its own…

it can be very difficult to get other people to see the full picture.

When I have faced this kind of bullying myself…

I left the role.

Not because that was fair.

Not because the bullying was acceptable.

Not because I should have had to be the one to go.

But because leaving was better than staying somewhere that was slowly demoralising me.

And it was better than not recognising what was happening…

and carrying on thinking the problem was me.

So maybe the first step is not always proving it to someone else.

Maybe the first step is recognising it for yourself.

Naming it.

Trusting what you are noticing.

And understanding that if a role is quietly destroying your confidence…

that matters.

You matter.

And no job should be allowed to make you feel smaller every day.
