Rachel Prosser

Counsellor – Adults | Couples | Families

I am Rachel Prosser and I am a fully qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor.   I offer counselling to young adults ages 12+, individuals, couples and family therapy (no more than 4 members). I am fully trained in offering counselling by the telephone, online (via zoom platform) and face to face.

I have many years of working and supporting individuals and families in both the private and volunteer sector. This has enabled me to gain a wealth of experience working with a wide range of many different issues. My specialist areas include substance misuse and addictions, bereavement, child loss, palliative care, anxiety and trauma and abuse.

I use the person centred approach which puts you at the centre of your work, making you the focus. My role as your counsellor is to get alongside you, explore and notice what you are sharing and use our relationship to offer a different perspective.

Susan Faulkner

Counsellor – Adults | Young People

I work in an empathic and non-judgement manner in order to create a safe space for clients to explore and grow their sense of self by gaining a better understanding of their personal thoughts, feelings, and values, related to their unique core challenges and life setbacks. The essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth so that you can overcome these with confidence and achieve your desired goals alongside improved mental well-being.

I work with adults and young people.

As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) my work adheres to their ethical framework. In addition, I hold a DBS certificate and have professional indemnity insurance.

Matt Dix BACP

Therapist

I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP, offering online and telephone counselling to people who would like help with their self-esteem and confidence. I have worked as a counsellor for organisations in Birmingham as well as in private practice, and am also a qualified coach and trainer with over 10 years of experience in helping people with confidence building, leadership skills, career progression and personal development.

As a gay man, I have a particular affinity and interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community and many people I work with feel that they have been held back from expressing who they truly are. My aim is to provide an environment where I can help people feel comfortable and safe to explore what is concerning them or need to understand about themselves, without fear of judgement or labelling.

When we work together, I will always be focussed on what is important to you and in helping you to uncover your own solutions, rather than giving advice or telling you what you “should” do. My intention is that you are then able to continue to build on what you have learnt about yourself independently and with greater levels of self-belief and focus.

On a personal note, I can identify many times in my life that I have felt challenged by life events – for example when coming out as a gay man to friends, family and in the workplace, dealing with loss, feeling the effects of “burnout” and stress at work and when experiencing the end of a long-term relationship.

As much as I have had my self-esteem and confidence knocked during these times, I can also genuinely say that I have also found learning and growth from these events, even when it didn’t feel like this was possible. This was through a combination of reaching out for help, talking honestly about what was going on for me and then gradually starting to appreciate and trust in my self-knowledge and instincts about what I needed to move forward. This is what has led me to my career in counselling, as I believe the experience of being given the space to talk and to be truly heard and valued can transform our lives.

I hope by reading this you now feel you know a little more about me and how I can help. If you would like to discover more about how counselling with me might work for you, then, please get in touch.

Richard (David) Goodall

Counsellor

I have the pleasure to work both as a Humanistic Counsellor and a Professional Gardener. The combination of these two passions bring both connection to humans and to Mother Nature.

During my training as a counsellor, I have worked with clients at Support After Adoption (NCC), Derby Rape Crisis, Treetops Hospice (end of life support and bereavement), Merrill Academy (school counsellor)

I offer Counselling and Supervision.

I am naturally curious about my clients as to who they are and what they want from life.I am happy to connect face to face, on zoom, with walking therapy and also gardening. I believe that you already know what you want and so by walking that journey along with you, you will be able to be the person you want to be, released from your past beliefs about who you are.

Nimisha Marrum BACP

CBT Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Nimisha is a BACP registered independent therapist with a special interest in women’s mental health.  She has worked with a broad spectrum of people over the last 25 years both privately and for the public sector including the NHS and higher education.  She has also volunteered at Rape Crisis and a Women’s Centre and retains a strong interest in women’s issues. Working in corporate and legal environments has also given her a unique insight into the demands corporate life places on people, both in terms of their physical and mental wellbeing.  Nimisha’s experience has enabled her to help people deal with situations where they feel hopeless or out of their depth.   She especially enjoys building close relationships with people by working with them intensively on a one to one basis to enabling them to find their own solutions to problems they had previously thought insurmountable.

“As a psychotherapist, I believe that therapy works because of the relationship between the therapist and the individual.  I can provide a warm, non-judgmental and trusting environment in which you can be heard and explore those feelings which you may be struggling with and to find ways forward for acceptance and change.”

In her spare time, Nimisha loves doing yoga and scuba diving and views both of these activities as a form of mindfulness.  Having come to motherhood later in life, she also loves spending time with her young son.

I offer short/long term counselling, currently via face to face, Zoom online or walk and talk therapy. I only work face to face with couples/families and children/young people. I work from 3 locations for my face-to-face counselling in Wilmslow and Mobberley, Cheshire.
