Perceptions Counselling and Psychotherapy Welcome

My name is Gary Jones and I'd like to thank you for visiting the Perceptions Counselling and Psychotherapy website. I offer a confidential, one-to-one counselling and therapy service based in North Manchester. The fact that you have found this website could mean that you are experiencing some difficulty in your personal life at present. If so, I invite you to explore the website and contact me for an informal discussion about your situation, I may be able to help you.

Throughout the course of our lives many of us, at one time or another, will encounter situations that we find difficult to cope with. Most of the time we feel able to manage these situations as they occur. However, when faced with an extraordinary situation or a combination of difficulties we can sometimes feel unable to cope with everyday life. At these times it is common to experience one or more of the following:

  • Frequent low mood
  • Anxiety or fear
  • Anger or irritability with self/others
  • Apathy, indecision or loss of direction
  • Loss of sleep
  • Disturbed eating patterns
  • Confusion
  • Despair
  • Increased stress
  • Increased use of alcohol or other substances

These things can often indicate deeper issues that you may or may not currently be aware of. As a qualified counsellor I can help you explore thoughts and feelings you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment.

I can assist with a range of personal situations such as:

  • Low self-esteem
  • Lack of confidence
  • Identity issues
  • Confused sexuality
  • Feeling depressed
  • Social anxiety
  • Self harm
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Difficult relationships
  • Divorce
  • Physical abuse
  • Bereavement

Today, both men and women, are increasingly aware of the emphasis placed upon maintaining their emotional health. If you are unsure whether counselling will be helpful, please contact me in confidence to discuss your situation.

I offer the first consultation free of charge.
This allows both of us the freedom to determine whether we would be able to work together.
