Toni Tyldesley

Counsellor
email: tonityldesley@gmail.com
phone: 07376 241005

Hi, I'm Toni. I'm a qualified person centred counsellor, and have been working with people experiencing mild to severe anxiety, stress and depression since 2015. My experience includes working with young people, adults and the elderly in private work and as a volunteer for various charities.

I have personal experience of the life changing nature of counselling, and work hard to ensure I can give everyone I work with the same transformative experience I had. Speaking to someone who can objectively and sensitively guide you through your worries can help you see things a little more clearly. I don't have magic answers to problems, but I do have the skills and experience to enable you to begin to find your own way through difficult times.

Whether the stress of day to day life has worn you down, or big events have triggered burn out, I can work at a pace that suits you until you feel ready to end the therapy. There's no pressure to open up until you're ready.

For further information, please contact me at tonityldesley@gmail.com

Joanne Lindley, MBACP (Accred)

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor.

email: tangerine.lotus99@gmail.com

Website: https://tangerine-lotus.com/

Hi, my name is Joanne, and I am a qualified psychotherapist and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). After working in academia, I retrained to be a therapist to help people to improve the quality of their lives. I have experience of working in an NHS funded IAPT Centre providing counselling to adults, where I worked with people of various ages and backgrounds. I have treated a wide range of issues (including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and bereavement). However, I have a special interest in helping people who are struggling with relationship problems (family, platonic and/or romantic), as well providing counselling for students and academics, and pet bereavement counselling. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor. 

I am an integrative counsellor, and therefore I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to treat a variety of mental health issues. In the first instance I may suggest using somatic activities/exercises to help regulate your autonomic nervous system (ANS). These are evidence based neurological practices that I recommend alongside my main therapeutic approaches.

Paul Wolstenholme

Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist

phone: 07971 143571

Hello, I’m Paul Wolstenholme. I am an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling to adult individuals in rooms and ecotherapy/walk and talk therapy in nature.

I offer soul-centred therapy to support adult individuals to come into compassionate relationship with their true self, qualities and purpose, access inner wisdom, navigate life's challenges, heal past traumas, work towards goals, positive relationships, balance and wellness. I am trauma-informed and work in a holistic manner with mindfulness and compassion at the heart of my work. I work with clients at depth on an open-ended basis and I also offer short-term counselling. I also offer group therapeutic workshops to explore deep themes and invite awareness, growth and healing.

I enjoy working creatively (e.g. dreamwork, visualisation, active imagination, sand play, body and breath work) to facilitate clients accessing and integrating wisdom beyond the cognitive realm.

I am an accredited member of UKCP and a Registered Member of BACP.

Feel free to contact me if you wish to arrange a free, 20-minute telephone or video call to explore how we might work together and answer any questions you may have.

Clinical Psychology

Dr Diana Macleod

Clinical Psychologist

email: dr.diana.macleod@gmail.com

phone: 0161 524 0464

I offer the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - tapping) which is like acupuncture but without the needles. You tap on specific parts of your body to release negative emotions. It is an evidenced based treatment which means it has a robust body of research demonstrating its effectiveness. It helps a large variety of difficulties. 

I work with adults, children and adolescents as a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in the NHS (Tameside and Glossop CAMHS). I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and 12 years of post qualification experience.

I am offering discounted rates because I have not yet completed accreditation in EFT. I have however successfully used it with a number of clients.

I offer online and in person therapy with a lovely base in South Manchester. 

If you would like to find out more about EFT and the support I can offer, book a free 15 minute consultation by emailing me.

Art Therapy

Steve Garside

Art Psychotherapist

email: stevegarside@hotmail.com

phone: 07821 414 674 

I have over 25 years experience of working with children, young people, parents and carers and asylum seeking children. Through art therapy I have supported clients with anxiety, attachment issues, self-harm, trauma, depression, self esteem, loss and bereavement and also provided therapeutic parenting.

Art therapy can help you find a deeper understanding of yourself and support you to move forward with difficulties past and present.
I offer a safe space to help process the thoughts and feelings that may evolve from traumatic experiences.
Creating images can help bring hidden emotions to the surface and enable you to express thoughts and feelings that may have been too difficult to talk about previously. Art therapy can be very empowering.
For people who prefer to talk, art/image making can be used as and when it feels right for the individual.
I am also an experienced independent social worker and can assist with contact supervision and life story work as well as therapeutic post adoption support.
