Ally (She/They)
I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Manchester City Centre, offering both in person and online sessions.
My approach is client driven, offering a free 15 minute consultation, to check we are a good match and that my experience meets your needs.
I offer a safe and non judgemental environment for you to explore anything, past or present, that you want to discuss.​
My clients describe me as open, accepting, and different to other therapists, feeling more like a "real" person.​
I welcome you to express your full self in sessions, to feel free to bring humour, anger, pain, shame, and all parts of yourself that you want to share.
​I work with Men, Women, and Non-binary people.​
I have worked closely with Gender Diversity and issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community.
​​​
What my clients say about me
"You have helped me work through problems I have had for years in just a short few months. Therapy has been truly life changing"
"Ally is such an incredible therapist, she is really non-judgemental, I could tell her anything"
"It took me ages to find a good Therapist, and I'm so glad to have worked with Ally at such a difficult time in my life. This has been my best experience of counselling by a mile"
"You're so different to other therapists, I felt like I could laugh in sessions, and just be myself with you"
