TalkWise Counselling & Psychotherapy
Menu

You do not need to have it all worked out.

Therapy can be a place to understand yourself better: what shapes your decisions, how you relate to others and what you want from life.

You might be feeling low, anxious or stuck, facing a change, or simply curious about yourself. Whatever brings you here, we can begin with what matters to you.

Making time for yourself can be invaluable, giving you room to pause, reflect and hear your own thoughts.

What therapy with me is like ↗
Imran Ahmed

Hello, I’m Imran.

You may be used to making sense of things for other people, while finding it harder to give your own experiences the same attention.

In our work together, there is room to slow down and explore what is happening for you, without needing to arrive with a clear explanation.

I listen closely and take an active part in our conversations. Together, we can explore connections between your experiences, relationships and choices, including patterns you understand but still find difficult to change.

I draw on many years of experience in NHS Talking Therapies, alongside my training in counselling and psychotherapy. What matters is how that experience can help me understand you.

I continue to work in the NHS alongside my private practice in Manchester. The two roles are separate.

My experience and qualifications ↗

Your privacy matters to me.

Talking openly can feel vulnerable. What you share in therapy is treated as confidential, and protecting your privacy is central to how I work.

Before we begin, I will explain how your information is used, how supervision fits in and the limited circumstances when information may need to be shared, such as a serious risk of harm or a legal requirement. You can ask questions at any point.

Sessions and fees.

£60 per session

Online sessions take place on Microsoft Teams. I’ll send you a private meeting link before your appointment. Face-to-face work will be in Manchester once the practice location is confirmed.

If the fee would make therapy difficult to afford, please ask about the limited reduced-fee appointments.

A conversation, at your pace.

You can send a message through the contact form or email me directly.

If it would help, we can arrange a free 15-minute introductory call on Teams, or Zoom if you prefer to ask questions and see whether we might work well together. There is no obligation to book a session.
