Counsellor Profile

As an experienced and fully qualified Integrative Counselling Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist(CBT) and EMDR Therapist, I provide client centred Individual & Couple therapy within a supportive and caring environment with an emphasis on confidentiality.

Sessions include Integrative Psychotherapy which embraces a unifying therapeutic approach that affirms the inherent value and needs of each individual or couple. It responds appropriately and effectively to the individual requirements of the person at the emotional/feeling, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological levels while addressing the presenting issues.

I also work within the CBT therapeutic model - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a form of time based psychotherapy which focuses on the relationship between our thinking, how this contributes to how we feel, and our corresponding behaviour e.g. repeated unhelpful negative thinking or behaviour patterns. CBT Sessions support the client in establishing more supportive ways of thinking, thereby improving feelings and creating an improved approach to relationships and situations in daily life.

For difficult memories or past experiences, I provide EMDR sessions. As an experienced and fully qualified Integrative Counselling Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist CBT and EMDR Therapist, Ann Bracken - Consult Health Psychotherapy, provides client centred, Individual & Couple therapy within a supportive and caring environment with an emphasis on confidentiality.

I also provide EMDR Sessions.
EMDR - Scientific research has established EMDR as effective in treatment of past disturbing experiences/memories that may continue to distress the individual or cause a block in approaches to situations and individual relationships. This reprocessing of negative self beliefs or disturbing memories allows healing at a physiological, emotional and thought processing level to enable the individual to adaptively respond to situations and relationships in the present.

I work from a private practice in SALE, South Manchester and also in HALE Therapy Centre, Cheshire area and also work p/t in an NHS Setting and as a therapist for various Health Insurance companies. I am a published author and successful feature writer on emotional & psychological health.
