Abby Faulkner

I am a Registered Member of the BACP and an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have an Honours Degree in Psychology and a Masters in HR.  I work for a Counselling Service in Manchester and for a charitable organisation. 

I value individuality. I recognise that starting therapy can be daunting and my role of counsellor is to help you feel comfortable enough to talk about things concerning you, and to support you in making choices and decisions. I work in a non-directive way, whereby you can talk about your thoughts and feelings openly. Past life experiences have inspired me to support clients to lead more fulfilling lives.

I offer short and long term counselling to adults. 

I currently offer online and telephone counselling.   My hours are flexible. 

My approach is Person Centred whereby I believe the relationship is formed between you and I - it is a collaboration. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental safe space which allows for an exploration of self at your own pace. I practice in a way which is individual to each person and I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, domestic abuse, complex trauma and bereavement.

The initial 20-minute online or telephone consultation is free. This is an opportunity to explore what your expectations of counselling are, ask any questions and perhaps most importantly see if I'm the right therapist for you.  

Subsequent counselling sessions are 50 minutes in length and the fee is £40.00.  A concessionary rate is available.
