I first met Ken when he helped me rehabilitate a torn calf muscle, since then he has worked wonders freeing up my lower back and hamstrings which have been hurting me for years. I have no hesitation in recommending Ken based on my successful experiences. I now go regularly to see him and I think it’s money very well spent. So good in fact that I overlook the fact that he’s a big Liverpool fan fan 😊 More...

We visited Nina for our daughter who is now 6 months old, after researching an osteopath who specialises in children. We were struggling to take her on any car journeys without her screaming and had read this could be due to tension. Nina was excellent, friendly & professional and provided our daughter with 3 sessions of treatment to release tension in the areas she identified. We are now able to take her out in the car without any crying which has changed so much for us. She also gave us exercises to complete at home & explained everything she did. Would highly recommend Nina & would return if any further issues identified. Thank you for your help. More...

So glad I came across Cheadle Osteopathy. They have been the best investment for our baby girl. Our initial consultation was with Gemma who reassured me about our 3 month old at the time who tilted her neck to the right due to a difficult pregnancy and birth trauma as well as a combination of both reflux and colic symptoms. After a couple of sessions and at home exercises to support with her progress - I really started to notice a difference. I then started seeing Nina who I truly believe has contributed significantly to my daughter’s milestones and general development. I always say she has magic hands because if I’ve ever been concerned about a delayed milestone, I had noticed that within days of an appointment with Nina - my little girl would suddenly be doing all the things I was worried about her not doing prior. She is just the best! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She has a lovely warm and reassuring nature and makes you feel at ease with her calming approach which was especially needed for an anxious first time Mum. My daughter started walking at 10 months and I do feel the treatment given and exercises advised by the Cheadle Osteopathy team greatly supported her development. I only wish I knew about them when she was a newborn! Thank you so much. More...

I took my newborn to Cheadle Osteopathy as she was having unexplained periods of crying in the evening. We saw Gemma three times who identified two main areas of tension in Erin and recommended cranial osteopathy. We had three treatments and Erin improved and seemed happier after each one. Gemma was professional, friendly and very reassuring which is key with a baby! Erin has improved hugely, she is much happier, more relaxed and the crying periods have stopped. I’d highly recommend Cheadle Osteopathy and in particular Gemma. More...

We can't thank Nina enough for the care and expertise she showed to us and our little boy Rory, who was under her care until he was 6 months old. From the very first session, she made us all feel completely at ease with her gentle, kind and reassuring manner. Nina took the time to listen, explain, and tailor each treatment to his needs. We immediately saw such a positive difference in his comfort and overall wellbeing, it's been wonderful to watch his progress. We feel very lucky to have found Nina and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family. Thank you! Vicky, Nick & Rory Collins More...

I’ve never felt so comfortable around a medical professional as I did with Cyril. He strikes the perfect balance between being incredibly friendly and genuinely knowledgeable. I originally came in with one concern, but as a beauty therapist, I have several ongoing issues—and I now feel completely confident placing them in Cyril’s capable hands. I trust that he’ll help get me back to feeling and looking my best. Thank you so much, Cyril! More...

Q&As

My interest in counselling and psychotherapy was born out of a genuine passion for helping people to find ways of living an emotionally healthy and fulfilled life. I believe we all have the resources to overcome whatever difficulties we may be experiencing. I work hard to offer an environment that encourages personal growth.

What I love most about my job, is being a counsellor who helps people to explore their feelings and emotions that are often related to their experiences. This allows clients to reflect on what is happening to them and consider alternative ways of doing things. As a therapist, I will not give advice, but will help my clients to make their own choices. Also working in a confidential setting, where I can listen attentively to all my clients. Which will then give them time to open up. This also leads to trust and respect. My aim is reduce confusion and increase their ability to cope with challenges and to make positive changes in their life.

What inspired me to start my own business would be the love and passion working with people from all walks life. Also over the year I have had a number of issues that has needed psychological intervention. Which helped me to grow as a person. This in turn lead me into becoming a qualify therapist.

My approach towards treating my clients is a combination of counselling, cbt and complimentary therapy which collectively helps in bringing that much needed mental and physical balance, irrespective of what kind of psychological issues you are facing. I aim to revive my clients from the current positions in their lives, and channelizing their negative energy to its way out in a well coordinated manner. It helps bring in the much needed harmony in their lives.

In my experience, I have worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life, which has provided with a deep insight and practical view of the problems that people are facing in these contemporary times, with regards to their professional and personal life. Whether it is depression due to lack of respect and recognition at work, death of close family member, emotional distress due to separation, addiction, hypersensitivity, obsessive compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, sex addiction, loss of job, phobias or just any other issues that is affecting your mental health negatively
