Ida Therapeutic Counselling - areas of support & how I work

Through talking therapy, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you, in a calm, safe, and supportive environment.

My approach

Initially a minimum of 6 counselling sessions is required to establish the therapeutic relationship. 

The first session will be a way of understanding the situation that has guided you to seek talking therapy.

Each 60-minute session is individually tailored to meet your unique needs using a range of trained therapeutic theories and approaches. The most important aspect of our work is the relationship we build.

Trust, empathy, respect, and understanding are at the heart of the therapeutic process. Feeling heard, seen, and valued is fundamental, and I aim to create a space where that is always possible.

Choose the format that best suits you

  • Face-to-face counselling sessions in Wilmslow

Supporting your wellbeing

  • Breathwork
  • Positive self-talk
  • EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or “tapping”)
  • Mindfulness techniques
  • Podcasts

Who I work with

I work with range of clients, including male, female, and couples

During our sessions, I address what has brought you to invest in the process of therapy. Beginning where you feel you need to – and that is not necessarily at the beginning either! 

We can start where you feel ready – whether that’s the present moment, a recent event, or something deeper that you have been carrying with you for a long time.

I cannot recommend Ida Therapeutic Counselling enough. She helped and guided me through a particularly hard time. Her professionalism shone through, but more than that, her genuine compassion was clear.
