CHILDREN’S AND YOUNG PERSONS THERAPY & COUNSELLING SERVCIES IN MANCHESTER
CHILDREN’S AND YOUNG PERSONS THERAPY IN MANCHESTER
Therapy for Children and Young Adults
At City Centre Therapy and City Centre Counselling we understand that children and young adults face unique challenges and experiences as they navigate through their formative years. Our therapy services are tailored to meet the emotional and mental health needs of this younger demographic in a compassionate, understanding, and effective manner.
The demands of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) can mean a long waiting list, which is normally only started when your person needs it the most. We can provide your person with the therapy they need privately with no waiting list.
Child-Cantered Approach
For children, therapy is a journey of exploration and discovery. Our child therapists use a variety of techniques, including play therapy, art therapy, and narrative therapy, to help children express themselves in ways that are natural and comfortable for them. We create a safe and welcoming environment where children can explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours without judgment.
Adolescent Support
Adolescence is a time of significant change and growth. Our therapists are skilled in connecting with young adults, providing a supportive space where they can openly discuss and navigate the complexities of their lives. Whether it’s dealing with academic stress, social pressures, family dynamics, or personal challenges, we are here to listen and guide.
Family Involvement
We believe in the power of family support in the therapeutic process. When appropriate, we involve family members in therapy sessions. This approach can help improve communication, strengthen relationships, and develop effective strategies for dealing with family issues.
Evidence-Based Practices
Our therapy methods are grounded in evidence-based practices. We stay updated with the latest research in child and adolescent psychology to provide the most effective care. Our therapists are trained in various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, tailored to suit the age and needs of our clients.
Empowering Young Minds
Our goal is not just to address the challenges faced by children and young adults but to empower them with skills and insights that will serve them for life. We focus on building resilience, enhancing self-esteem, and fostering a positive outlook towards life’s challenges.
Confidential and Safe
We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and ethical practice. Our young clients’ privacy and safety are our top priority, and we provide a secure space where they can feel safe to share and grow.

EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Dan7 December 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Bod. Particularly for matters of neurodivergence and phobias. I don’t say this lightly but the work we completed in a short period of time has been life changing. Tasha Ravenscroft21 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been having EMDR sessions with Cheryl for about 6 months. In this time she has guided and supported me through some of the toughest times in life, for which I will be forever grateful. She is kind, caring, very welcoming and brilliant at her job. Seeking therapy and especially the process of EMDR can be scary and daunting, but at all times I felt safe, held and understood. I could not recommend Cheryl enough and implore anyone seeking therapy to contact to Cheryl. Victoria Elmore10 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolutely excellent and affordable service perfectly located in the city centre. Cheryl is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone (in fact I have). She is welcoming, warm and an expert in her field. By far the best therapist I’ve ever had. Liv Abbott10 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with Cheryl for the last 10 months. This is by far the most collaborative relationship I’ve had with a therapist, as teamwork plays a key role in treatment and recovery. We’ve used talking therapy and EMDR to process previous trauma, which has been life changing. Cheryl has taught me practical tools which I can use on an everyday basis, as well as explaining the theory and psychological/physiological processes at work. My self esteem and emotional regulation have improved massively since I started therapy. I’ve made huge changes in my life and we are constantly reflecting on how to step towards my goals. Great service could not recommend more 🙌 Lola Sami9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Cheryl since September and it’s been one of the most comfortable and affirming experiences I’ve had in therapy. It was because of her sessions that I felt encouraged to seek out an ADHD diagnosis and Cheryl has been invaluable at helping me make sense of the condition. The warmth, empathy and kindness with which she conducts her sessions have been transformative. Having been to therapy before, this is the first time I’ve felt like a therapist has understood me and been able to adequately assess the cause of my difficulties. After having multiple therapeutic experiences that weren’t helpful, I became resigned at the thought that my issues couldn’t be treated. By understanding the cause of my problems and devising ways to treat them, my sessions with Cheryl have imbued in me a newfound hope and optimism and have given me a more positive outlook on my future. T9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cheryl has provided me with so much support in the last 8 months, I cannot thank her enough! Having never been to therapy before, she made me feel so at ease, as she has such a friendly and warm personality! She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and also compassionate. I feel I have made a lot of progress and I have learned so much from her! Beth Longman9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've seen several different therapists in my life, but none of them have shown the patience, skill, and care of Cheryl. Every time I see her I leave feeling lighter and more hopeful, and I've already made significant progress in the short-time I've been working with her. Georgina Makings9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cheryl is absolutely amazing - super understanding and relatable! I’ve been seeing her for a few months now and she really helps me to stay in check with practical tools / advice - highly reccomended LH9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Cheryl for panic disorder and OCD and I am now recovering. She is a wonderful therapist who is compassionate, patient and real expert in her field. She also understands complex issues indepth. Highly recommended.
