Siobhan Cooper

I will be working from Chester from September for two days a week and currently have space on Monday and Tuesday day time. 

The first session will be spent taking information from you and your partner. From this we can agree a contract for working together which we can revisit at any time. 

The room is right in the centre of Hoole and there is a waiting room and plenty of on street parking. 

I currently have a couple of spaces so please get in touch if you would like to know more. 

As a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment.

I believe the setting for therapy is very important and should feel comfortable and welcoming. Sessions take place in a quiet, private, and relaxed room where you can feel at ease sharing whatever may be troubling you.

My approach is grounded in the core conditions of person-centred therapy. I am also trained in Transactional Analysis and relational couples therapy, which inform my work. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and that this can happen through a collaborative therapeutic relationship where we explore your experiences together. Transactional Analysis can help uncover past experiences and patterns, and how these may be influencing your life and relationships today.

I have worked with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds and with many different challenges, and I welcome clients whatever difficulties they may be facing. Couples work is a particular passion of mine. I work with couples of all genders, identities, and backgrounds, at any stage of their relationship—whether dating, partnered, or married—and whatever has brought you to consider therapy.

Facing difficulties in a relationship can feel daunting and may bring up feelings of vulnerability or uncertainty. However, most relationships experience challenges at some point, and seeking therapy can be a positive and constructive step towards creating the relationship you both want.

My role is to create a safe and supportive space where both partners feel heard and understood. Through this process, couples often develop a deeper understanding of each other and strengthen their ability to communicate more openly and effectively.

Finding the right therapist is an important part of the counselling process, so I am happy to answer any questions you may have by email or phone before arranging our first session.

In addition to my clinical work, I am a qualified supervisor, supporting the work of both qualified counsellors and trainees. I also work as a personal development tutor on counselling skills courses

I work from my home in South Manchester and often on zoom. 

If you would like an initial consultation on the phone then please get in touch. 

I usually work with couples in person, as I find that face-to-face sessions can be particularly helpful for relationship work. However, if online sessions are preferred, this can also be discussed.

In the first session we will go through a contract so that we both understand what you would like to get from therapy. 

In the first session, I will take some information from you both and listen to what you feel is happening in the relationship. From there you can decide if you would like us to work together. 

As a qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapist, I offer a friendly, confidential and non-judgemental approach allowing you the space to explore your feelings in a supportive environment.

I believe the setting for therapy is really important and should feel comfortable and welcoming. The hour long sessions are held in a quiet, relaxed and private room allowing you to feel comfortable sharing any struggles with me.

I adhere to the core conditions of person centred therapy and use primarily Transactional Analysis, person centred and imago therapy. I believe that each person has the ability to change and this happens when we work together to explore what you bring.

I have worked with individuals and couples facing different troubles and welcome clients whatever the struggle may be. From feelings of anxiety and depression to problems in your marriage or relationship.

Each person or couple has an individual way of experiencing his or her own difficulties and counselling can be the first step in making sense of things.

Finding the right therapist for you is key to the success of counselling, so I am happy to answer any questions you may have Via email or on the phone prior to our first meeting.

I am a qualified supervisor and oversee the work of other qualified counsellors as well as students. I also work as a Personal development tutor on counselling skills courses.
