Clear Minds Talking Therapies - Merseyside

Started session's with Steve back in late June this year (2024) , following a very rocky patch with my fiancee and lots of arguments which resulted in our wedding being postponed; As you can imagine a very difficult time for us as a couple.
It was suggested to me to try couples counselling by a friend, and I have to admit I was very sceptical that it would make any difference to the extremely turbulent time I was experiencing with my partner, but as I was so desperate to save our relationship, I was willing to try anything.
I reached out to Steve for initially an appointment for myself, and subsequent couples therapy with my partner.
We have attended weekly sessions now for a few months and me and my fiance finally seem to be making good progress and have both learnt lessons thanks to Steve, that help us to accept each other's imperfections.
I would highly recommend Steve , he is polite and respectful, with a calming personality; He has a unique method of seeing assumed problems in your relationship in a different light, and provides you with the knowledge to change the outcome of future disagreements.

Highly recommend 10/10 thanks Steve

My son has just completed his 6 sessions of CBT with Ste. He has ADHD and really struggles with managing his emotions. Ste has made a big difference in how Jaxon looks at things and how he can manage his emotions. Ste did this in a fun way that Jaxon enjoyed and also gave him little treats. I would highly recommend Ste if you have a child that is struggling! Big thanks Ste we will look forward to seeing you in his monthly sessions ?

My wife and I had seperated after being together for 12 years. Stephen helped us to see the error of our ways and we started to rebuild our relationship back together. We moved back in together after 18 months after many meetings with Stephen and we are happy again with a bright future ahead of us. We can not thank Stephen enough for the help and understanding he showed us. I would recommend Stephen to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation and requires the professional help Clear Minds Talking Therapies offer.

I first came to Stephen a little skeptical and it wasn't my choice but I was open to counselling. Just over a year before I started I lost someone very close to me and from there everything went downhill, my work, my study, my relationship and my temper was shorter, I didn't even realise it was happening most of the time. But throughout the cognitive counselling with Stephen and since I have finished my sessions I feel 10x better in myself. I'm more positive, my work is picking up, I'm more motivated. But the thing he helped me the most with was my study and how to go about revising and being more positive about doing an exam I had already failed once.
The detail Stephen goes into of how the brain works and the things we can do to change the that in order to help ourselves was brilliant. I would recommend anyone who is struggling with anything in life, even if it's just stress of work to give it a try and see the difference it can make to your whole attitude and mental health.

I first contacted Stephen at Clear Minds after enduring the worst 18 months of my life. I had experienced a lot of emotional pain and loss which resulted in me becoming increasingly angry, sometimes resulting in explosions of rage towards loved ones. Stephen's relaxed and professional approach really helped me open up about the issues I'd faced and his advice and guidance really helped me to help myself. I'd recommend Stephen and Clear Minds to anyone who is feeling the way I was.

The counselling I received from Stephen has been paramount in me moving forward and enjoying life and my relationships with all of those around me to the full.
I cant thank Stephen enough, he has given me a much clearer outlook and the tools to help me manage very difficult thougnts, feelings and emotions.
His approach and professionalism is what make him great at getting his information across, enabling me to understand and work on what he has taught me very comfortably and confidently. He put me at ease the moment I met him, which under the circumstances of meeting is a must!
I would highly recomment Stephen to anyone should they need the help. Thank you!
