I have taken my daughter for treatment with Nina from when she was 2 months old following a difficult birth and feeding problems. The service has been wonderful and now 4 months old my daughter is feeding the best she ever has and moving freely. She really enjoys the sessions and always sleeps so well after as she is so relaxed (an added bonus) More...

The service at Cheadle Osteopathy is fantastic. Nina was really welcoming and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. My baby and I got so many benefits from attending a few sessions with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. More...

I have had severe back spasms for the past 3 days. When I turned up to my first appointment with Cyril I was completely tilted to one side and in a lot of pain. He was extremely calming, friendly and knowledgeable which instantly put me at ease. His treatment plan and at-home exercises have already started to help me stand up straight and start walking again. I'm looking forward to future sessions and feel optimistic about my recovery. Thank you! More...

Cyril has been an amazing osteopath these past couple of years! He's always really friendly and I love our chats during our sessions. He's helped me a lot with a trapped nerve from playing hockey mixed with a sedentary lifestyle. He has also relieved the tightness in my upper back, shoulders and neck. Would highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Cheadle Osteopathy for the last 10 years, I can’t express how good and caring they are. They remember all my issues and ask questions as to how I’m feeling and if there are any new issues. They offer advice on how to exercise and have given me a plan on how to relieve some of the symptoms. More...

I was treated with courtesy and kindness at all times, and not pushed to make more appointments if I had no more pain.After two days, my pain had gone.!I highly recommend this practice! More...

Could not recommend enough to parents! Our 4 week old was struggling with painful trapped gas and vomiting at least once a day. This was affecting her sleep and her general temperament in the day as well as us as the parents! We have had 2 sessions with Hannah a week apart and the difference is phenomenal. We discovered that due to position in pregnancy/labour, our little one was tense through her torso, neck and jaw. This was causing her to be restricted when feeding and therefore taking in more air. Through some simple daily exercises, top tips and Hannahs work in the 2 sessions, we have our happy girl back. No vomit in 10 days, she has been sleeping for 7 hours a night from 5 weeks and no painful gas. We are very glad we went for that first session and have some extra tools to help manage the newborn phase! Thanks Hannah! More...

Very grateful for all Nina’s help with our daughter! We first saw her when she was just a few weeks old, suffering from horrendous reflux and in a lot of discomfort after a tricky, premature birth. She’s now 6 months and thriving! It’s been really helpful, even just beyond the reflux issues, to have regular appointments with Nina to check in with physical development and her milestones. Really pleased we took the plunge and booked in when we did - very happy with how well our daughter is doing now! And pleased we have that resource to turn back to if we ever need more support again in the future. More...

Really grateful for the experience we had at Cheadle Osteopathy. Nina is wonderful, she is very knowledgeable and friendly. I’d highly recommend her. We took our baby to see her and she took time to ask lots of questions and she explained what she was doing and why. I also loved the little exercises to practise at home in between sessions. Our little girl was completely comfortable and was laughing throughout the sessions which really put our mind at ease! Thank you Nina. More...

We’ve had 3 appointments with Nina for our baby and each one has been so informative and helped our baby in lots of ways (reflux, stiffness, preferred side and digestive issues). Nina is very friendly and so calm and professional. She explains things in a very accessible way and gently but effectively treated our baby, despite his grumpy crying. We’ve seen a huge positive difference in our baby and learned a lot. Grazie Nina! More...

A big thank you to Gemma for succeeding in getting me right when the NHS said nothing could be done. I was bent double when I went and my neck and back was in a terrible state. Gemma gave me hope and worked wonders with me. I am upright now in no pain. My life has changed, I look and feel 100% better. Many thanks Gemma. Eternally grateful, David. More...

I asked a friend who is a doctor about Osteopaths in Stockport. She recommended Rob and I'm so glad she did. I had been finding exercise more difficult because of joint problems. Now I'm approaching 66 and enjoying exercise more than I have for a couple of decades. He's been particularly effective on my stiff knee, but also helped with shoulders elbow and back. One word of advice: if he gives you homework, do it! More...

Nina has worked miracles on my little boy. We came to her when he was around 5 months old and he had improved after the first consultation. My son loves interacting with Nina during the appointments. Even though he doesn’t always do as he is told, Nina is great at adapting the treatment while he is playing. I highly recommend Nina and can’t thank her enough for everything she has done to help my Son. More...

Cyril was very thorough in taking my history. There was good communication in explaining each step and then I experienced a first treatment that brought a lot of relief from chronic long term pain.

What do you love most about your job?
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 you to start your own business?
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.
Why should our clients choose you?
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
Psychological Therapies, Phobias and Counselling service
Our services work by giving you space to talk about your thoughts, feelings and behaviour with some who is professionally trained to help you understand these things better, and help you find ways to change the things.
We use a number of different therapies, from C.B.T to Phobias. Each type of talking therapies has it's own theory about why we think and the way we do, and how it's best to help you.
