Freddi Manson - Counselling for Individuals and Couples
Email meAbout me
Couple Counselling - All couples experience difficulties in their relationship at some point. There are times when some expert input is needed to help shift you through a stuck position. I am here to facilitate a deeper understanding of what is happening in your relationship, to support, improve and enrich - to find a different way for you to relate to each other.
Couples counselling can be a valuable way of looking at any difficult issues you are experiencing in your relationship and gaining new perspective. I am also here to help facilitate your sexual and intimate lives together if this has become an issue for you as a couple - I have considerable expertise in facilitating this part of the couple relationship.
I can help you to break the cycle of anger and resentment destroying your relationship, whilst also increasing your understanding of each other. This new understanding can lead you to a more harmonious and loving relationship with improved communication and a joint vision for the future - it could also help pave the way to a more amicable ending if that is what you decide.
Individual counselling - Part of being human is that we experience concerns at some point in our lives. Mostly we can deal with these difficulties on our own or with the help and support from friends and family. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by negative feelings or we feel stuck in patterns of behaviour we believe we are powerless to change. We may feel very alone with our complicated thoughts and feel trapped by our lives.
As your counsellor I will provide a safe space for you to express yourself and your concerns. I will help you to understand yourself more fully and empower you to make choices leading to a happier and more fulfilled you. I am impartial and have no agenda for your life other than what you want for yourself.
I will provide unbiased, consistent support where your well-being is my priority.
I am a qualified counsellor with over twenty years' experience of therapy with individuals and couples of all ages, ethnicity and life-styles. You are my priority during each session we spend together. I offer a quiet, safe space where you are listened to fully. I offer you time, integrity and respect.
Expert, discreet, confidential support.
