Imran Ahmed

I am not currently accepting new clients. When my practice reopens, sessions will be available face to face in Greater Manchester by arrangement and online via Microsoft Teams.

You may know that something is not right without yet having the words for it. Anxiety, low mood, bereavement, trauma or difficulties in relationships can leave you feeling caught in patterns that are hard to understand or change alone.

I offer thoughtful individual therapy for adults. I am warm and attentive, but not distant or passive. I listen closely, ask considered questions and help you notice connections between your experiences, emotions and relationships. We work at a pace that feels manageable, while giving difficult patterns the care and honesty they need.

I bring more than twenty years of experience across NHS mental health, adult social care, psychological therapy services and private practice. That background spans common mental health difficulties as well as complex, severe and enduring presentations. I hold an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling. I am also an IPT UK Accredited Practitioner. My work is person centred, relational and informed by Interpersonal Psychotherapy.

TalkWise offers private counselling and psychotherapy for adults, face to face in Greater Manchester by arrangement and online via Microsoft Teams. Sessions last 50 minutes and the standard fee is £60. I am not currently accepting new clients. My work includes anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, stress, low self esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and significant life changes. My wider professional background includes work with complex, severe and enduring mental health presentations. Suitability for private practice is always considered carefully.

When I am accepting new clients, you are welcome to arrange a free 15 minute introductory call before booking. It is an opportunity to ask questions, tell me briefly what brings you to therapy and decide whether working together feels right. Before the first paid session, I will explain confidentiality, practical arrangements and what you can expect from our work.
