Psychotherapy and Counselling

Impact North West offers both Psychotherapy and Counselling from locations in Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.

These are both 'talking' therapies with Counselling generally being a shorter term process that focuses on helping find solutions to current issues. Psychotherapy is typically a more in-depth, longer-term process that focuses on a person's feelings and past expereinces.

Both are a very useful way to help unlock factors that keep people stuck in unsatisfying situations.
