Manchester Counselling

Hello and Welcome.

I’m Dawn Pugh and I’m a registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist practicing in Manchester and surrounding areas

If you are reading this, then it is likely that you are in some kind of emotional distress, and you want to make changes in your life.

I have helped over 4,500 people to make changes in their lives, and so live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives – so why not you?

As an ancient Chinese sage once said;
The longest journey starts but with one step”.

Manchester Counselling Contact

By reading this you are making that first initial step. I encourage you to continue your life’s journey along this new path to a happier, more fulfilling life.

As you continue to read my page you will begin to notice how much more attainable a happier life could be.

But only reading websites – mine or anyone else’s – will not in itself change anything! You can sit back, continue to do nothing, and hope and pray that somehow, some magical change is going to happen;

OR YOU CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN NOW!

You need 3 BASIC ESSENTIAL FUNDAMENTALS to make change happen:

1. BELIEVE that you can achieve the desired change

2. WANT to achieve the change

3. BE WIILING TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to achieve the desired change.

If you have these three basic essentials, you no longer need to ask the question:

“Will I achieve my desired change?”

The question now becomes:

“How long will it take to achieve the desired change?”

With these three basic fundamentals in place I can guarantee results I just cannot say when these results will happen for you.

Manchester Counselling Contact

The answer, of course, depends on how committed you are to achieving change, and how experienced and expert the therapist is (and therefore how effective) is the help you could obtain.

Google lists me as being an Expert Therapist and as a Therapy Expert.

To check this out just click on any of those links above and you will usually find me at the top of the first page.

So you can see that the more experienced and expertise the therapist can offer is then reflected in the help that you obtain, then the more you gain the opportunity to achieve your desired outcomes.

No matter what tasks we undertake, generally it is much effective and somewhat easier if we can get expert help. I am an expert, but I can’t help you unless you contact me.

Because you are still reading this that tells me you are interested in getting some help and making some small but significant changes to your life.

Manchester Counselling Contact

Let me ask you; “Why do you continue to be unhappy and unfulfilled?”

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “We must become the change we want to be”.

We may not be able to change our past experiences, but we do not have to let these experiences impact negatively on our current life.

Have a browse through the following pages, but reading alone will not in itself change your life.

You need to TAKE ACTION, so I sincerely urge you, please CONTACT ME!

I offer a FREE NO OBLIGATION consultation, to enable a tailored made therapy that will suit your current needs.

I will not work with anyone whom I feel is not ready for change and does not show commitment to them selves.

Quite often I do not like to label issues and prefer to regard them as difficulties.

I’m extremely experienced at treating numerous and variable conditions such as Depression, Phobias, Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Stress, Anger, Relationship Difficulties, Lack of Self Confidence, Addiction and Bereavement – to mention just a few and might I add, the majority to a successful outcome.

I also offer Supervision to other counsellors and psychotherapists, from students up to qualified and experienced practitioners.

I offer Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy  throughout the Greater Manchester area.

I’m within easy reach of most of Manchester and Greater Manchester by a number of ways including public transport and cover all surrounding areas, particularly Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton, Salford and Swinton.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always had”

Is Breaking Patient Confidentiality a Hypocritical Oath?

I can’t help but feel for the Catholic nurse, who in the eyes of many chose to ‘breach of confidentiality and risk being “Struck off”.

The patient confidentiality of a 16 year old was broken without consent by a nurse who happened to know her and then chose to in-form another member of the 16 year old external family that she had seen her receiving treatment at a hospital in which she was employed. [click to continue…]

Are Roadside Death Memorials Dangerous?

Police and local authorities are taking action to curb the number of tributes left at the site of fatal road accidents.

Image via WikipediaPolice and local authorities are taking action to curb the number of tributes left at the site of ‘fatal road accidents‘ FRA.

They have said they believe they are a dangerous distraction to other motorists and that grieving relatives put themselves at risk assembling shrines on busy roads.

Some places have already acted and said tributes will only be allowed where it is deemed safe and appropriate and will be removed after three months. Some authorities have even set out guidelines to bereaved families stating that;

Police family liaison officers will accompany bereaved friends and family who wish to lay tributes at crash sites to make sure they can visit in safety. They will also make sure tributes are left in a safe place so they do not cause a danger to drivers and other road users.

Roadside tributes will be removed by the county council after 12 weeks – or less if the family wishes – and kept in a secure place for the family to collect.

Do you think people should be free to lay tributes in memory of loves ones killed in RTA’s?

Surely a floral tribute with a portrait, for example on an area of approx’ 3 meters is less of a distraction than an advertisement board of approximately the size of a house?

Or do you believe they are a potential danger?

Recently a roadside memorial dedicated to the four teenagers killed in Lynbrook two weeks ago was a loving tribute to lost friends.

To the crash investigators called in to examine another death at the same spot yesterday, the tribute was part of the reason another life was claimed.

“Don’t leave me flowers by the roadside. It’s not the place I lived. It’s just the place I died.”

Getting The Most From Your Clinical Supervision;

Counselling session
Image by alancleaver_2000 via Flickr

Supervision is a over-view of your clinical practice. Your supervisor will monitoring good ethical professional practice.

All productive supervision is dependent on the mutual trust, respect and active, intelligent and responsible participation of all parties.

Helping practitioners make sense of their work with clients.

Helping you the practitioner to process your own feelings in relation to the client and to use it therapeutically.

A sharing of information that helps the practitioner take care of themselves and their clients.

Let me ask you do you prepare for your supervision? If so… how?

Transactional Analysis Trends.

im ok you are ok
Image by vivido via Flickr

Apparently Relational Transactional Analysis (TA) has over the last few years become a central tool for change and growth in therapy.

Does this emerging trend signify an increase in development of relational psychoanalysis and psychotherapy within the therapeutic arena?

Relational therapy has some important core concepts;

1.  The centrality of the therapeutic relationship.

2.  A bi-directional process.

3.  The acknowledgment of existing any un-conscious processes.

4.  The ability to use counter-transference

Hope this was useful?
