“Warm, person-centred counselling, one step at a time”
About Firdus
I offer warm, person-centred counselling in Manchester and online. I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and the impact of domestic abuse or violence. Compassion is at the heart of my practice.
I hold a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, a BACP-recognised qualification, and I have over 100 hours of counselling experience. I have supported women at a women's support centre, and I have specialist experience with domestic abuse and relationship difficulties.
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting. With me you can feel heard and accepted without judgement. We can take things one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My role is not to advise you, judge you or tell you what to do.
How Firdus works
My approach is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and that you have the capacity for growth and change when offered the right support and understanding. You decide what we talk about, how deeply we explore things and when our work feels complete. I see people for individual counselling in Manchester, online or by phone, and I shape our work around your circumstances.
Approaches
General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Firdus works.
Person-centred therapy
Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, starts from the idea that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and genuine attention without steering the conversation, so you can explore what matters to you at your own pace. Many people find it helps them feel heard and grow in confidence and self-understanding.
