MARY WALLACE
Life can present us with challenging situations and decisions. When life gets difficult, it is normal to feel fear, anxiety, anger or sadness - but it can also be very isolating and lonely to feel such emotions. Having time out, a compassionate listener, and space to consider our options can allow us to take stock and find a way to move on. Whether it's a difficult experience, confusing emotions, a new opportunity, or long-standing difficulties which you want to explore and get support with, counselling can help.
​
I am a qualified counsellor, a registered and accredited member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy [BACP] and a qualified supervisor (see link here). I have worked in Manchester and Stockport for many years and have experience in supporting adults and young people on a range of issues, including:
-
stress at work or at home
-
anxiety
-
depression
-
low self-confidence
-
family difficulties and breakdown
-
relationship issues
-
coping with emotionally demanding careers
-
loss and bereavement
-
abuse

What I Offer
​I believe that the most important element of counselling is the relationship that forms between a client and his or her counsellor, and I will do my utmost to provide you with a supportive, non-judgemental environment in which you can explore your concerns at your own pace and in a way that best suits you. I believe in an approach that helps people to identify their strengths and current coping skills, and which looks at ways that these can be adapted to address current situations or challenges. I am very respectful of people's need to feel secure in counselling, recognising the great courage that it takes to confront often painful emotions and memories.​
