Keep Growing
Private therapy based in Manchester city centre
Hi! I'm Corinna, a BACP-registered and fully qualified therapist. I offer sessions both online and face-to-face in central Manchester.
​
Are you feeling like you need some extra support, or wondering if you could benefit from a safe space where you can explore what's going on for you? Looking for a counsellor can be quite daunting – I fully understand that, as I’ve done it myself! Clients have often told me that whilst reaching out for help was difficult, they’re really glad they did it.
​
Too often, therapy can feel formal, stuffy, clinical or shrouded in mystery. I don't think it has to be this way - counselling is ultimately a connection between two humans. My mission is to provide you with the compassion and support you need to overcome the challenges you're facing and move forwards.
​
If you think I could be a good fit for you, I'd love to hear from you. I offer a free initial consultation so you can decide if you want to work with me.

My Story
My journey as a therapist began in 2018 when I realised how much I enjoy helping people to grow and overcome the challenges they’re facing. The deeper I went into my training, the more I realised that this was the path I wanted to follow, so I left my job in education to focus on providing private therapy.
​
I'm a BACP registered and fully qualified therapist with an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Distinction). Over the years, I’ve provided counselling in various settings, including with survivors of domestic abuse, for an LGBTQ+ counselling service and with adults in Greater Manchester who are experiencing all different kinds of issues. I’ve learned from every client I’ve worked with and I'm committed to growing professionally through supervision and self-development - the journey never ends!
​
I often work with clients in their 20s/30s and LGBTQ+ people, though I enjoy working with adults from various age groups and backgrounds. Having the opportunity to connect and work with so many different people, and helping them on their own individual journeys, is one of the things I really enjoy about my work.
​
When I'm not working, you'll likely find me browsing bookshelves, being a very average plant mum, spending time outside or nerding out over a playlist.

Therapy
How can I help you?
Maybe you’re feeling down or anxious at the moment, like you’ve lost your way. Perhaps you’re going through a process of change and it all feels a bit overwhelming - or you're stuck but you don't know how to move forwards.
​
I’ll work with you to come to a deeper understanding of the challenges or difficulties you’re experiencing. We’ll identify new perspectives or approaches that can help you move forwards and which will empower you to make positive changes in your life.
I’ve successfully worked with people facing all different kinds of challenges over the years. To name just a few:
​
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Stress
-
Loss
-
Relationship issues
-
Family issues
-
Self-compassion and low self-esteem
​
Clients have described me as compassionate, nonjudgmental and supportive. I care hugely about the clients I work with and, especially in these isolated times, I think it’s the relationship we build together that makes the biggest difference in therapy. Sometimes we all need a safe space where we can heal our wounds, speak openly about what’s going on for us and be supported through difficult times, without worrying that we’ll be judged or shamed.
​
I think counselling works best when there's a good balance of support and challenge, so this is something I'll try to offer you. Every client is unique, so I’ll always tailor my approach to make your sessions work best for you.
What else do I need to know?
My fees are £60 per session. I offer a free initial consultation (upto 30 minutes) to help you decide if you want to work with me.
​
I have a limited number of concessions available at £50 a session if you're struggling financially.
​
I offer sessions online and face-to-face. Face-to-face sessions take place in the Royal Exchange Building, St Ann's Square, Manchester city centre.
​
I'm happy to work with people on both a long and short-term basis. I only work with adults and I don't offer couples counselling.
​
I usually offer sessions from Monday - Friday in the morning, afternoon or evening.

Testimonials
“Corinna was the perfect mix of caring and professional which allowed me to relax and talk openly and honestly about everything. The care, effort and guidance offered to me is something that will stay with me forever. Thank you, I will always be grateful for the care and compassion shown to me."
"Working with Corinna has given me the strength and confidence to feel that I can tackle any challenge head on. Everyone from my family to my colleagues has noticed a positive change within myself and I will be forever grateful to Corinna for her help and supportive encouragement."
“I was very apprehensive to attend counselling but after starting my sessions with Corinna, to help battle a fear after a traumatic experience, I realised that this is something I have needed for a long time. Corinna named herself as my ‘own personal cheerleader’ and after a few sessions, I saw a change within myself.”
“Corinna is a skilled, compassionate, calm and wise therapist. She listens carefully, shows a good understanding of any issues and uses a rational approach which is very calming and effective.”
