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 questions around Identity, Gender Diversity, issues facing LGBTQIA+ communities, Sex, and Sexuality.

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"
