Philippa Northover

My name is Philippa Northover and I have been a practicing therapist in the Greater Manchester Area for over 20 years. I work on the premise that as we are unique, our individual needs will vary. To optimise the healing process I take a flexible approach offering a wide variety of skills and techniques which are adapted to the client's personal needs. In a safe and supportive way I offer warmth and guidance and provide you with the tools to find your own power to heal. For those who want to commit to a journey of self discovery, all I ask is the courage to look within and a willingness to change.

Emotional therapeutic counselling is a means of helping people who are suffering emotional turmoil in their lives whether brought about by a crisis, a long term situation, persistent unhappiness, depression, apathy or difficulties relating to others. It works on the belief that emotional well being is the key to a contented fulfilling life. Stress, depression, relationship problems and many other issues are often rooted in suppressed emotional memories and pain and my aim is to help clients explore these sources in a safe, positive supportive environment It differs from traditional counselling as it promotes healing by working through the feelings rather than simply using the mind to analyse the symptoms.
