Hello! My name is Jeni Nelson and my job is to support you in making the change you'd like to see in your life.

We won't be dwelling in the past and you certainly won't have to reveal anything that you are uncomfortable talking about. Change through hypnotherapy can be a relaxing and positive affair!

Read more about Jeni

My practice has a solutions focus. This means not asking what's wrong with you but asking what's right with you and taking it from there. Working with your best hopes for the future and setting your most amazing human asset, the brain, to work producing the solutions to make that happen. This way of working not only feels good but is proven to be very successful.

My approach respects you as the authority on your life. You are the most competent person to decide what is right for you, to decide which of your goals are the most important right now and how to achieve them. Your goals may be general; I want to be happy, I want to feel in control, or specific; I want to not fear dogs, I want to feel more confident in social situations. Whatever your starting point, I can support you.

What to Expect

The initial consultation is a getting-to-know-you type session and, although hypnosis is not used during this initial session, the work starts here, and so do the benefits. You can come along to meet me, find out if hypnotherapy is right for you and receive a free MP3 to listen to at home.

The next session will be the first 'typical' session. We will sit together and review what's been happening for you since we last met and then explore the skills and strengths you are already utilising to help you achieve whatever goal it is you’ve set your mind on.

Then we'll do some hypnosis. The actual act of hypnosis is very relaxing and so is a pleasant experience. It's like talking to your mind in a way that means it can really hear what's being said, without chatter or judgement and is a completely natural state in which you are always in control. In the hypnotherapy room, we normally induce this state laying down or seated in a comfortable chair. (More on my style of hypnosis here; www.jeninelson.co.uk/hypnotherapy)

So, it may not always feel like it, but you carry with you many skills and strengths that you can use to change your life for the better. Together, with the enhanced benefit of hypnosis, we'll harness these strengths, helping you find your way in the world, keeping your experience positive and joyful.

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.

I offer a friendly, non-judgemental and safe space for you to explore your issues, worth through any problems you're experiencing, or just give you a confidential place where you can let your emotions run free.

I'm committed to making sure that everyone I work with feels heard, accepted and understood. My specialisms are anxiety, stress and depression, and I have helped people with a huge range of issues relating to that, including:

*Understand and address problems with anxiety

* Build and increase feelings of confidence and self-esteem

* Manage stress and unhelpful behaviours

* Challenge negative and intrusive patterns of thinking

* Explore and understand their thoughts, feelings and past experiences

* Become more motivated to achieve their goals

I currently offer evening and weekend sessions, along with weekdays.

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.
