We have so far arranged a Face to Face social on Tuesday 18th at Stockroom in Merseyway Stockport time TBC (but will probably be 12.30 or 1pm), an online mindfulness session with Michael on Wednesday 2nd September at 11am and our usual 2nd Friday of the Month Zoom at 11am on Friday 11th September. We are still finalising whether there will be an online Zoom social in September.
Overcoming Disability Discrimination – 11am Friday 11th September – Zoom link will be added nearer the time.
Thought-out my adult life I have experience discrimination due to my cerebral palsy. I use my experiences not only to help others with their mental health issues but also to inspire others to reach for their dreams.
I am a person centred therapist who has cerebral palsy.
I have overcome disability discrimination at college, in the workplace and during my therapy training placement. I now run my own business counselling with Chrissie which I founded in 2018.
I recently published my second book Self love because you matter, it provides simple yet powerful techniques to help you overcome mental health issues like overthinking, feeling stuck, no life balance and putting others before yourself. My first book A look inside the therapy room shares my story of becoming a person-centred therapist where I empower others with mental health issues to change their lives. It gives the reader an insight into what happens in the therapy room, dispelling myths and shares experiences and outcomes of some of my previous clients.
Face to Face Meet up Tuesday 22nd September
We have been meeting up at Stockroom for some time and it has been working well. We try to gather at one of the big tables near the entrance if one is free but otherwise we will be on some of the smaller tables nearby. We try to sit out of the actual food area so it is a little quieter and those who wish can bring their own food and drink. Coffees etc. can be purchased from the cafe nearby. There is plenty of parking in either the Blue Badge carpark next to The Light or in the Merseyway carpark itself. The time is still being finalised but it will be something like 12.30 or 1pm on Tuesday 22nd September.
Mindfulness with Michael Wednesday 2nd September 11am
Another monthly mindfulness session with Michael. You can use the same link as the one for the 2nd Friday of the month session to join in.
