MARY WALLACE

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

​​

I have particular experience with adults, young people and children under stress, and with adults and teenagers who have experienced difficulties in childhood.  In addition to my private practice, I work as a trainer and supervisor for organisations offering therapeutic support to young people. I have worked as a pastoral lead and advisor in education, and have experience of training and supporting staff in a range of other caring professions.  I take a strong interest in supporting people who have chosen a caring profession but may now find themselves struggling to manage the particular stresses of such work.  

​

Not all types of issues can be resolved through counselling and I will advise you if I consider that some other form of support might be more appropriate to your personal needs and presenting issues, or if I do not have the experience and skills needed to support you. Where I consider that counselling would not be the most suitable means of support, I will make every effort to assist you in a referral to a suitable alternative source of support.

 

​I work within the ethical framework of the BACP.
