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”

Adoptingthe Belief & the Trust in “Healthy Skepticism“?

skepticism

Allow me to loosely define the term healthy skepticism as adopting a willingness to logically test anything that one considers as “true” and being inclined to test new information before one accepts it as “true”.

Healthy skepticism also includes refusing to condemn something as false unless it can be shown to be false. Someone with healthy skepticism may doubt something if it has not been proven to be true, but he would not condemn it as false unless he obtained verifiable evidence that it is false.

“Count me In” Census – Mental Health Community for Black and Ethnic Minorities;

Equality
Image by leoncillo sabino via Flickr

Recent figures released from ‘The Care Quality Commission‘ (CQC) have depicted that 5 years on from the first  ‘Count me in’ census – people from black and minority ethnic communities are still 3 times more likely to be detained under the Mental health act.

The Government programme – ‘Delivering Race Equality in Mental Health Care’  – also shows that there is no sign of  this decreasing.

Delivering Race Equality in Mental Health Care (DRE) is an action plan for achieving equality and tackling discrimination in mental health services in England for all people of Black and minority ethnic (BME) status, including those of Irish or Mediterranean origin and east European migrants.

It draws on three key recent publications in particular:

* Inside Outside: Improving Mental Health Services for Black and Minority Ethnic Communities in England;
* Delivering Race Equality: A Framework for Action; and
* the independent inquiry into the death of David Bennett (although DRE itself is not a direct response to the inquiry’s report).

David Bennett was a 38-year-old African-Caribbean patient who died on 30 October 1998 in a medium secure psychiatric unit after being restrained by staff. As well as DRE, this document contains the Government’s formal response to all the recommendations made in the report of the inquiry into David Bennett’s death. The responses are overwhelmingly positive and, taken together with the action plan in DRE, comprise a coherent programme of work for achieving equality of access, experience and outcomes for BME mental health service users.

The programme is based on three ‘building blocks’, first proposed in the consultation version of DRE:

*  More appropriate and responsive services – achieved through action to develop organisations and the workforce, to improve clinical services and to improve services for specific groups, such as older people, asylum seekers and refugees, and children;

*  Community engagement – delivered through healthier communities and by action to engage communities in planning services, supported by 500 new Community Development Workers; and

*  Better information – from improved monitoring of ethnicity, better dissemination of information and good practice, and improved knowledge about effective services. This will include a new regular census of mental health patients.
