Bernie Meagh BA(Hons) Mental Health Dip(Coun) Adult & Child Therapist
About me
I run Manchester and Trafford Therapy and Counselling know as MATTAC in Sale. I also work for North Cestrain School as a therapist with staff, the young people and their parents. I am trained in both adult and child therapy.
I have 19 years of experience working as a Therapist/counsellor in schools, colleges, and several local government services. I work with a variety of problems such as anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harming, eating disorders, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress and lack of direction in life' addiction, couple therapy, training and parental support. I receive regular supervision in line with BACP requirement.
My therapeutic approach
Each one of us is different and there is more than one way of understanding our world. This is why my therapeutic model is integrative. This means that I use several theoretical frameworks in order to provide the best approach for the individual needs of each client. The two main approaches I use within my practice tend to be person centred and transactional analysis .
I can also work in an advisory capacity with other agencies/schools /work places etc . This would be something that we would plan together if this was appropriate to therapy .
