Helen Cleary

Face-to-face therapy is based in Hale, Altrincham, Wilmslow,  Alderley Edge, and Manchester City Center.   

Online therapy is also available following the initial assessment session. 

EMDR therapy is available. 

I have many years’ experience providing therapy and I believe in working with clients to understand their concerns in a friendly and non-judgemental manner. My experience has been gained working in the NHS as well as the private and voluntary sectors. I have had the opportunity to work with adults and young people with such issues as adult mental health, trauma, gender identity, anxiety, health anxiety, addiction, stress, loss, infertility and miscarriage,  relationships concerns and women’s and men's mental health and well-being.  

I offer a combined approach to therapy, working face to face, (or online such as zoom) and believe in building a trusting and safe working relationship to explore and analyse issues. This allows me to establish a collaborative way of working to identify the areas of concern which can then be processed through therapy. The combined approach allows me to draw upon a number of evidence-based therapeutic models, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills (DBT) alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).  

I offer an integrative approach to the therapeutic process and recognise we are all unique so I aim to work in a collaborative way to support individuals during the process of therapy. I draw upon a number of different modalities allowing us to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours to allow the process of change to occur, which you will have identified to enable you to lead a more fulfilling life. I offer a non-judgemental, kind and caring approach whilst listening and allowing you the space to talk and explore the change you require.  

I offer therapy at different locations, Hale, Altrincham and  Wilmslow from a welcoming, warm and friendly therapeutic space.   

I offer a free, short telephone consultation to establish how I may support you in therapy. I then offer an assessment session where we can explore at a deeper level the issues you are seeking therapy for. This process allows you to meet me and for us to explore whether I am the right therapist for you and allows you the space to decide if you would like to work with me. I offer a nonjudgemental and transparent way of working and hope to develop a collaborative way of working during the therapeutic process.       

Face-to-face and online supervision is available from locations in Hale, Altrincham, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, and Manchester City Centre.  

I offer clinical supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors. I work in a collaborative way to support you and your client during the therapeutic process.  I am also a registered therapist and I am seeing clients on regular bases. I work with many client issues, offering an integrative approach, incorporating Person Centred,  TA, CBT modalities. I would be happy to discuss with you what you would like from supervision and how I can support you within the supervisory working relationship. 

I offer a free, short, telephone consultation with a view to arranging with you an appointment to discuss how I can support you.
