Hive Mind Psychology and Counselling in Hale, Altrincham & Manchester

Welcome to Hive Mind Psychology Ltd

I provide in-person and online counselling services, based in Hale, Altrincham, Cheshire & Manchester City Centre.

Healing and transformation awaits

Are you facing challenges in life and searching for inner peace? If that's the case, I'm here to offer my help.

I specialize in a type of counselling called integrative counselling, which may include trauma focused counselling, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I understand that everyone goes through difficult times, and some of these experiences can be very distressing. My aim is to assist you in coping with these challenges and living a more fulfilling life.

Integrative counselling involves using various techniques, interventions and talking therapy to help you achieve your goals. These techniques may include talking with you about your thoughts and feelings, guiding you through mindfulness exercises to focus on the present moment, teaching you relaxation techniques, and/or using EMDR therapy.

EMDR therapy is a specific method that can aid in processing and reprocessing traumatic memories. By working through these memories, we can reduce the emotional distress they cause and improve your overall well-being.

As your dedicated and skilled therapist, I am here to support you throughout this journey. My goal is to help you find inner peace and restore balance in your life. If you're ready to begin the healing process, please don't hesitate to reach out to me today.

SUPERVISION: For students and qualified counsellors seeking clinical supervison please
