COUPLES THERAPY IN MANCHESTER
Couples Therapy at City Centre Therapy
Embarking on Couples Therapy with City Centre Therapy means entrusting your relationship to skilled professionals equipped with the knowledge and expertise to foster positive change.
Our Approach
At City Centre Therapy, we adopt a tailored approach, recognising the unique goals of each individual in the relationship as well as the collective aspirations of the couple. Our primary role is to pinpoint the challenges within the relationship and collaborate with you as a team to address and overcome these obstacles. It’s not uncommon for couples to reach out to us at a critical juncture in their relationship, often viewing therapy as a final effort to resolve deep-seated issues. We believe that when both partners are committed to making the relationship work, significant progress can be achieved. However, we also understand that sometimes, the desired outcome for both individuals may differ. In such cases, we provide support and guidance to navigate these complexities in a constructive and compassionate manner.
The Importance of Communication
Effective communication, active listening, and mutual understanding are the foundations of a healthy and fulfilling relationship. A common issue we observe is that couples often cease meaningful communication and instead build narratives and assumptions about their partner’s actions. These narratives, more often than not, are inaccurate and can be more damaging than the behaviours themselves. The truth is, most of us are never formally taught how to communicate effectively, especially when faced with relationship challenges. This lack of skill can lead to significant strain when a relationship begins to face difficulties.
At City Centre Therapy, we focus on equipping you with the necessary skills and tools for effective communication. Our aim is to facilitate reconnection, fostering hope and the possibility of nurturing a successful and healthy relationship. We guide you in breaking down barriers of miscommunication, helping you to understand and empathise with each other, thereby paving the way for a renewed connection and understanding.
Embark on a Journey of Relationship Growth
Whether you’re seeking to resolve specific issues or improve your relationship dynamics, City Centre Therapy is here to support and guide you. Our commitment is to work alongside you, offering the insights and strategies needed to cultivate a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling partnership.
EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Dan7 December 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Bod. Particularly for matters of neurodivergence and phobias. I don’t say this lightly but the work we completed in a short period of time has been life changing. Tasha Ravenscroft21 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been having EMDR sessions with Cheryl for about 6 months. In this time she has guided and supported me through some of the toughest times in life, for which I will be forever grateful. She is kind, caring, very welcoming and brilliant at her job. Seeking therapy and especially the process of EMDR can be scary and daunting, but at all times I felt safe, held and understood. I could not recommend Cheryl enough and implore anyone seeking therapy to contact to Cheryl. Victoria Elmore10 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolutely excellent and affordable service perfectly located in the city centre. Cheryl is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone (in fact I have). She is welcoming, warm and an expert in her field. By far the best therapist I’ve ever had. Liv Abbott10 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with Cheryl for the last 10 months. This is by far the most collaborative relationship I’ve had with a therapist, as teamwork plays a key role in treatment and recovery. We’ve used talking therapy and EMDR to process previous trauma, which has been life changing. Cheryl has taught me practical tools which I can use on an everyday basis, as well as explaining the theory and psychological/physiological processes at work. My self esteem and emotional regulation have improved massively since I started therapy. I’ve made huge changes in my life and we are constantly reflecting on how to step towards my goals. Great service could not recommend more 🙌 Lola Sami9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Cheryl since September and it’s been one of the most comfortable and affirming experiences I’ve had in therapy. It was because of her sessions that I felt encouraged to seek out an ADHD diagnosis and Cheryl has been invaluable at helping me make sense of the condition. The warmth, empathy and kindness with which she conducts her sessions have been transformative. Having been to therapy before, this is the first time I’ve felt like a therapist has understood me and been able to adequately assess the cause of my difficulties. After having multiple therapeutic experiences that weren’t helpful, I became resigned at the thought that my issues couldn’t be treated. By understanding the cause of my problems and devising ways to treat them, my sessions with Cheryl have imbued in me a newfound hope and optimism and have given me a more positive outlook on my future. T9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cheryl has provided me with so much support in the last 8 months, I cannot thank her enough! Having never been to therapy before, she made me feel so at ease, as she has such a friendly and warm personality! She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and also compassionate. I feel I have made a lot of progress and I have learned so much from her! Beth Longman9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've seen several different therapists in my life, but none of them have shown the patience, skill, and care of Cheryl. Every time I see her I leave feeling lighter and more hopeful, and I've already made significant progress in the short-time I've been working with her. Georgina Makings9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cheryl is absolutely amazing - super understanding and relatable! I’ve been seeing her for a few months now and she really helps me to stay in check with practical tools / advice - highly reccomended LH9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
