About me

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or panic attacks?

Do you feel low, sad, stressed, frustrated or unhappy in your life?

Are you in a relationship that feels like it's breaking down, or that needs help with communication, understanding and trust?

Counselling can help you to think more clearly and to work things out, finding answers and solutions you may not have thought possible or even considered before, 

Sometimes life feels complicated, unfair, unkind and can leave us feeling like we're traveling from one place to the next feeling lost, 

Problems and challenges can leave us feeling stuck or even frozen in time, because we haven't found the tools we need to take ourselves to a better place or to the place we need to be in, 

My name is Yolande, I am a BACP Accredited psychotherapist with over 24 years experience. I am committed to ensuring that you get the right help and support you need with issues affecting your mental health,

I offer you a safe, therapeutic space, through counselling and psychotherapy I can help you to make the changes and improvements that you need to move forward and resolve things in your life, 

Whatever the issue or the problem, never feel your issue is too big, too small or insignificant, you are important and if it matters to you, then its a problem worth working out with help and support from therapy,

I offer a free initial consultation (0161 509 6643) please call today if you need to talk and would like to know more about how we can work together

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership
