Professional Psychotherapy & Counselling in Manchester
Feeling overwhelmed, depressed or stuck? Work with Ian Watts Counselling to rediscover the joy and fulfillment you deserve in life.
How Can I Help?
Depression.
Depression often brings feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness, making it hard to enjoy life. Through therapy, we’ll address these feelings, build coping skills, and help you reconnect with hope and joy.
Anxiety.
Anxiety is a common experience, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can leave you feeling stuck and unable to cope. Together, we can explore what’s causing your anxiety and develop practical strategies to help you regain control and find calm.
BEREAVEMENT & loss.
Experiencing loss can leave you feeling adrift, overwhelmed, or struggling to cope. Together, we can explore your feelings, navigate the complexities of grief, and work toward finding balance and healing in your own time.
Trauma.
Trauma isn’t the event itself but the wound it leaves behind, shaping how we think, feel, and connect with the world. With specialised trauma training, I offer a safe space to help you heal, rebuild, and move forward with resilience.
DISABILITY
A new physical disability can feel overwhelming, bringing significant changes and questions about the future. As someone with lived experience following an accident, I understand the profound impact this can have on daily life and emotional well-being. Drawing on both my personal journey and professional training, I provide tailored therapy to help you explore this new situation.
Domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse isn’t just physical—it can also be emotional, financial, sexual or psychological and affects people of any gender. I provide a safe counselling space to help you process your experiences, rebuild confidence, and move toward healing.
