Andrea Clough

I am available in the day time and some evenings and I currently have availability.

Hello...my name is Andrea. I am a person-centred therapist with experience of working with adults and young people. As your therapist I will help you to explore how you are being impacted by your thoughts and mindset which can effect the way you think, feel and act. Life can feel overwhelming at times and I can help you navigate these challenges.

I myself have suffered with anxiety in the past and fully appreciate how difficult it can be to find the right emotional support. My own past experiences have taught me that this starts with finding the right therapist. I firmly believe that building a strong rapport is the first goal in a counsellor/client relationship and mutual trust helps facilitate growth.

You have taken your first step in seeking therapy and you can start to realise your own strengths and I can help empower you to find helpful solutions to your difficulties as I listen to and understand your experience from your perspective.

Person-centred therapy is client lead and we will work with whatever material you want to bring.

I offer a safe, calming, comfortable and non-judgemental space not far from the centre of Rochdale where you can explore your feelings at your pace. I am friendly and down to earth and look forward to getting to know you.

In our first session we will get to know each other and set out your goals and objectives and find out what led you to come to counselling. We will talk through our working agreement and you can let me know what concerns if any you have and I will help to reassure you.
