What made Start Therapy stand out to us are their therapists.  Here, they have a team of qualified professionals that can help their clients get through rough patches in their life.

When we spoke to their patients, they commended Chi Ko to us. According to them, he is calm and accommodating — making them feel safe as they go through therapy with him.

On top of this, we like that he is an accredited psychotherapist that uses an existential and humanistic approach to his patients. For us, this is probably why his clients feel at ease with him.

Aside from him, there are many other competent members of their team and the credentials of each one are available on their website. This is a good reference for those who want to get to know their counsellor or therapist more.

When we reviewed their services, we were happy to see that they offer therapy for couples and individuals. This makes them a great option for married people who want to grow both as a team and as independent units.

Furthermore, they also have other services available such as sex therapy. We appreciate that they help clients understand and overcome their various sexual dysfunctions.

The only caveat is their services are not covered by the National Health Services. If this is something that you are looking for, it would be best to explore other providers. 

As for those who prioritise accessibility when it comes to counselling,  we highly recommend Didsbury Counselling and Therapy Centre. Since they are situated on Burton Rd at West Didsbury, you will have no issues locating their establishment.

Patients will be three minutes away by foot from the train station. On the other hand, one can also bring their car as there are enough parking spots in the area.

They also offer online consultations, which is a great option for couples who do not want to leave their home. 

On top of this, we also appreciate that they are open seven days a week, which is rare when compared to other providers. We believe that this is because they have many professionals on their team. 

Simon Bayley stood out to us because he is a relationship counsellor that approaches clients with emotionally focused therapy to resolve their issues. His rate starts at £65 for a session of couples therapy that lasts for 55 minutes. 

Finally, we like that there is also information about each team member along with their rates available on the website. 

We just wish that they be more responsive to clients as there have been reports where they do not answer phone or email enquiries.

Protem Counselling is another marriage counsellor that is easily accessible. 

Since they are on Wilmslow Road, between Didsbury and Withington, patients will have no problem locating their establishment – it’s only a five-minute walk from the West Didsbury train station! 

As for those who will bring their vehicle, we are happy to share that there are ample  parking slots available on-site.

Another thing that keeps us positive about them is that they are an established team. They have been operational since 1990, and over the years, they were able to build a good reputation for themselves. 

In fact, they already helped thousands of patients throughout their practice. We also appreciate that they have therapy for both couples and individuals. 

Most of the couples who come here for therapy are helped to express themselves better to their partner. With this, we like that their patients can resolve ongoing issues in their relationships.

They also have group therapy services here. With this, we think that patients can also include children and other members of the household that may be affected by such issues. 

Just keep in mind that even though they are accessible councillors, they do not entertain emergency cases. It would be best to book your appointment in advance.

For those who are looking for a councillor with good facilities, we suggest CBT Therapy Manchester. When we spoke with their patients, they mentioned that the place is cosy and quiet.

Despite being in an accessible location, we also appreciate that they were able to maintain the privacy of the place. The patients also shared that the entrance is discreet, which makes them feel safe as they enter through the doors.

Another positive thing about them is that they have a renowned professional. Gary Janit has over 20 years of experience in helping individuals and couples deal with their issues. 

He is trained and qualified in cognitive behavioural therapy, psychotherapy, and Imago relationship therapy. With this, he can cover a wide range of therapy services for all his clients. 

Their most popular service is couples therapy. Here, they make patients understand that it is normal to struggle in relationships, and then they will provide practical ways in resolving issues.

Aside from that, they also have therapy for weight loss. Here, they try to help patients live healthier lives instead of focusing on drastic ways to shed extra weight.

The only issue here is that there is only one professional on the team. With this, the waiting list can be crowded at times.

We suggest that you book appointments in advance to reserve your slot.

We like that Here to Help Co is composed of two competitive professionals. 

The first one is Caroline Holbrook, who is trained in a person-centred approach and cognitive behavioural therapy. She has helped many patients between the age of 18 to 89 and has practised in the UK, USA, France, Africa and the Middle East.

Christopher Holbrook is the other professional in the team. He studied hypnotherapy at the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH) at King College and Liverpool Hope University.

When we reviewed their services, we were happy to learn that they offer counselling in a wide range of areas. Of course, they have a specialised service for married couples.

We also appreciate that they cater to all types of couples, including members of the LGBTQA+. This inclusivity is hard to find among other providers in the area. 

On top of this, they also have other services such as executive coaching where they serve as a guide for high-ranking staff members for various companies.

It’s also notable that they even offer free consultations! For us, this is a great option for those who want to get a feel if counselling is a good choice for them.

The only downside is that they are strict with their cancellation policy. If you cancel an appointment less than 24 hours before your schedule, you will be charged the full amount. 

Taylor Counselling, led by a professional and accredited counsellor, offers a range of relationship counselling services with a focus on marriage and couples. The unique approach, blending professional expertise with a personal touch, aims to create a safe and neutral space for clients to express themselves and work towards mutual solutions.

We like that they go beyond traditional marriage counseling, recognizing that relationships encompass a spectrum of dynamics. The flexibility to address various relationship issues ensures that clients receive tailored support that meets their unique needs.

Furthermore, Taylor Counselling’s adoption of Couple Therapy for Depression treatment, developed by Tavistock Relationships and commissioned by the NHS, reflects a commitment to adhering to national clinical guidelines. This alignment ensures that clients receive treatment that follows the competencies identified for addressing both depression and relationship distress in couples.

Note though that they do not readily accommodate complimentary consultations with them beforehand so interested clients may need to inquire further about this matter.

Overall, Taylor Counselling distinguishes itself as a reputable provider of marriage counseling services, offering a unique blend of professional expertise, accreditation, and a personal touch. The flexibility of online and telephone counseling, coupled with a commitment to evidence-based practices aligned with NHS guidelines, positions Taylor Counselling as a valuable resource for couples seeking support.
