Welcome to Clear Minds Counselling Manchester

Providing a compassionate and confidential counselling service

ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT

Hi, I'm Andy. I'm a counsellor, and I offer support either online or in person for adults and young adults.

Welcome

If you've ended up on this page there's a good chance you're going through something difficult right now and aren't sure how to move forward. That's completely understandable. Many people feel stuck or overwhelmed at different points in their lives.

From sitting with lots of clients, I've learned that when our mental health takes a dip, life can feel shaky - almost like the ground under our feet isn't as steady as it used to be.

My counselling space is designed to be somewhere you can feel safe, calm and listened to. You are in charge of our sessions. Before diving into what's going on inside, we take our time and go at a pace that feels right for you.

I am trained as an integrative counsellor which just means I use different approaches depending on what works best each person. I strongly believe that the relationship we build together - being able to trust, talk openly and be honest - is one of the most important parts of healing.

Relational Counselling in Manchester

I believe that everyone deserves access to professional mental health support in a safe, confidential, and compassionate environment. My mission is to help individuals overcome challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues through tailored, relational counselling sessions.

A Space to Be listened to.

How often are we truly listened to in life? Feeling safe enough to explore our difficulties and the relationships we have with ourselves is a key part of any therapeutic process. I work with compassion, acceptance and empathy to allow you to be emotionally held as we explore your inner world together.

My practice is built on an integrative approach, prioritising our relationship as key in unlocking whatever it is you may be stuck with currently.

Testimonials

“Andy is very professional and skilled in his role. He has all the prerequisite skills and personality traits that suit the role really well. He's an excellent listener and is very empathic, compassionate, understanding, perceptive, and supportive. He's also very open-minded, non-judgemental, and trust-worthy; I know I can talk to him about any problems, big or small, and he will listen and understand. 


It has been very useful to talk about things to a counsellor, and to hear your insights on things. You have helped me to gain a more compassionate understanding of myself and my problems, which has given me a new sense of self-worth, confidence, and motivation in turn. 


I have attended various forms of therapy over the years due to complex mental health conditions, and I can say that counselling with Andy has been one of the most helpful.


Thank you again - I wasn't sure if it would be helpful when I applied but thought I'd give it a go, and I'm so glad I did”

Client

“Andy has been a huge help. Our sessions have had a very positive impact on my mental health and have really supported me in navigating some of the issues I’ve been facing.

I have nothing but positive feedback to share. I was really anxious about starting therapy, especially with a male but Andy has created a safe and comfortable space for me to open up about my trauma and ongoing mental health struggles. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to have these sessions and for the support provided.

 

Thank you so much,”

Client

“My counselling sessions are going really well, and they are helping me so much. My counsellor Andy is really good, I have not been able to open up to anyone before, even my family, Andy has put me at ease and I feel like I can talk to him, so for the first time in a long time I have been able to talk. I cannot thank you enough for getting me this counselling”

Client

“You really helped me so much during our counselling sessions and I’m genuinely so grateful for your compassion, understanding, and for giving me a safe space to open up about everything. It made such a difference to me.


I truly wish you the best in your career, you deserve it.


I honestly don’t think I could’ve got through the last year without the support and clarity I gained in our sessions. So thank you again for helping make things feel a little lighter when I needed it most.”
