Psychotherapy, Counselling and Life Coaching in Manchester

Welcome to Blue Sky

What do you want to change about your life? What's stopping you from doing it?

If you feel you can't achieve what you want to achieve by yourself, come and have a chat with us. It may be that life coaching, counselling or psychotherapy would liberate you from the chains of your negative feelings and allow you to enjoy life again.

We specialise in psychotherapy, counselling and life coaching based on the principles of Transactional Analysis (TA). We see life coaching clients in Northenden and psychotherapy and counselling clients in Chorlton and Whalley Range, within easy reach from Manchester city centre. We provide a warm, friendly, relaxed environment, where you can talk freely and confidentially about anything that concerns you, without fear of rejection, ridicule or rebuke.


How can we help you?

Whether you are desperately unhappy or just mildly dissatisfied with your life, we can offer you the level of support that you need, for as long as you need it. Our aim is not to tell you what to do but to show you your options, so that you can find the right way forward for yourself.


Examples of issues we can help you with:

  • relationship problems within the family
  • relationship problems outside the family
  • career stagnation
  • low self-esteem
  • lack of assertiveness
  • changing direction
  • eating disorders
  • worries about bringing up children
  • divorce/separation
  • loss
  • stress
  • time-management problems and procrastination
  • depression
  • shame/guilt/regret
  • feelings of being held back by the past.

Don't suffer alone; help is at hand.

What is the difference between psychotherapy, counselling and life coaching?

Very briefly, …

Life coaching focuses on building a bright and beautiful future for you. It is about helping you to achieve your goals, to move from where you are to where you want to be. (Read more about life coaching)

Counselling is about dealing with a specific problem or issue in your life. It aims to find a workable solution to the situation as quickly as possible. (Read more about counselling)

Psychotherapy goes much deeper and is a longer-term therapy than either life coaching or counselling. This is about not just finding a way to hold it together but resolving the issues at root. (Read more about psychotherapy)


Which one would be best for you?

Life coaching is suitable for people who are basically not unhappy but who feel stuck or frustrated because they can't seem to make things happen. If you want some guidance, support and encouragement in order to take your life to the next level - or to change your life completely - life coaching is probably for you.

Counselling helps you through a specific difficult patch in your life. For example, if you have recently been through a trauma, if you are struggling with a current relationship or if you want to prepare for an upcoming ordeal (e.g., a court case), counselling could be for you.

Psychotherapy is for people who are angry, sad and/or scared as a result of the past. If, for example, you consider your life futile, if you can't let go of a situation or relationship from years ago, if your mind is full of someone else's opinions rather than your own, psychotherapy is almost certainly for you.


If you're not sure whether you would benefit most from life coaching, counselling or psychotherapy, we will be happy to discuss it with you.
