Mandy Manning Humanistic Counsellor

Counselling doesn’t change the bad things that happen to us, but it can help us gain healing and a better understanding of what has happened, and offer a chance to leave the past behind.  Counselling started for me as a client.  I was at a point in my life where many changes were happening around me, over which I had no control.  I felt lost and deeply unhappy.  I have taken the road you are thinking of taking.  I have faced doubts and fears of wanting to believe that I could find help by talking to a stranger, yet not really understanding how it would work.  Through my own counselling I have been helped to look at my biggest fears in bite size pieces and I found a way to make changes, which brought me peace of mind.

As a person centred counsellor I am interested in you and the events that have stopped you from getting on with your life.  I will help you discover what choices you have.  My job is to listen to you and help you look deeper, giving you space to reflect, and helping you find understanding of how life events have affected you.  With my help and through the counselling process, you can gain healing from the past and find the freedom that comes with that.  I will help you learn to trust your instincts and find a way forward, towards a future which allows you to take better care of yourself.
