Thyme To Be Counselling & Psychotherapy in East Manchester

Hello and welcome.

I'm Karen, and I offer counselling and psychotherapy, for couples and individuals. I am based in East Manchester, close to Tameside.

There are many reasons for seeking psychotherapy, as a counsellor, I have found that these reasons are often expressions of pain. Perhaps your pain seems obvious to you and those around you. Maybe, you've hidden it well, you can still manage at work and in your daily life, but inside, you know that you can't do this for much longer.

You're probably wondering, 'what can this counsellor do for me?'

Well, if you are willing to do your part, I can help you to:

Think clearly about your reasons for seeking psychotherapy right now - not always obvious- and what you hope to gain.

Bring into awareness, underlying motivations for unwanted and repetitive thoughts, feelings and actions.

Speak your truth, and share the things that you've felt unable to share with family or friends.

Silence your inner critic, or that fearful voice that stops you from really living - today.

Connect or reconnect with your self-worth, and your inner strength.

Begin your journey towards being the person that you want to be, living life as you want to live it - on your own terms.

I have worked successfully with a variety of issues, for intance: sexual, emotional and physical abuse, grief and loss, racism related stress, affairs and strained relationships, alongside the search for meaning and direction in life.

However, I specialise in working with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, and express their distress through anger, depression or high levels of anxiety.

I provide counselling for couples who want to restore their love relationship; together, we create a space where you can both share your truths, feel heard, valued and understood.

As long as we are a good fit, I work with anyone, whether or not you have a faith.

However, I have worked with issues of faith and spirituality with Christians. I am not a Christian Counsellor, but I am a Christian who is trained to a high level in counselling and psychotherapy; if you would like our work to have a Biblical perspective, I can do that. Some well meaning people place a heavy burden on Christians, because they don't think that it is God's will to see a counsellor, whilst they might not question your seeing a dentist for a toothache. Obviously, I don't share such a view, and would never judge anyone for seeking help. Whether you're a pastor battling depression, and perhaps a sense of isolation and shame for feeling this way, or you sit in the congregation overwhelmed by anxiety and low self esteem, you don't have to struggle alone.

In a world where we can be so busy 'doing': earning love and respect, and generally proving our worth, I provide a space where you can take the time to breathe and 'be'. As we work together, you can be many things: still, heard, real, understood, co-creative, accepted, you.

If you are ready to overcome your past, and rewrite what seemed to be an inevitable future, whilst growing in hope and resilience, do get in touch and we can discuss your specific needs.

I offer flexible appointments in Manchester, and am also conveniently placed for Tameside and Stockport.

Help is available, so take that step and reach out, because your emotional well-being is worth the effort.

'You can't reach for anything new...if your hands are still full of yesterday's junk.'
