Offering both online and face-to-face person-centered therapy sessions that meet you where you are and gently support you as you find your way forward.
Hello, I’m Aimee Jay, and I say “you need therapy too”.
Well, maybe you do, maybe you don’t.
I came across these words painted on a wall in Croatia, whilst on holiday with my mum. Something about them stayed with me. Maybe it was the bluntness of the statement, or the way it made me stop and think. Because the truth is, whether we think we need therapy or not, we all have things we carry, things we question, and things we’re still trying to make sense of.
And somehow, you’ve ended up here.
So maybe you’re looking for answers, a little understanding, a different perspective, or simply a space where you feel a little less alone. Or maybe you’re just curious.
Whatever brought you here, let’s start there.
This space is for exploring the things we don’t always know how to put into words, making sense of ourselves and the world around us, and remembering that we don’t have to have everything figured out.
Rooted in the person-centred approach, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work.
Elements from other therapeutic approaches can also be thoughtfully integrated where helpful, allowing our work together to be shaped around your individual needs and experiences.
Working together, a space will be created where you can feel heard, and accepted without judgement. There will be time to slow down and reflect on whatever you may be experiencing, with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult period, making sense of your emotions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can support you in making sense of your experiences, both past and present. Over time, this can help you reconnect with yourself, gain new perspectives, and find a way forward that feels more authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful.
Our sessions can take place in person in Manchester or online, giving us the flexibility to choose a setting that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
“Thank you so much for helping me navigate tough times. The work you do is really appreciated.”

A note: from me to you
Therapy isn't easy. There will be moments that feel challenging, emotionally demanding, and thought-provoking, and at times you may feel uncomfortable or uncertain.
Change and letting go can feel unsettling. My invitation to you is to approach the process with openness and curiosity, even when it feels difficult.
Together, we can explore your experiences, gently question long-held beliefs, and make sense of the parts of yourself that may have felt disconnected. My hope is that, through this work, you can build a deeper understanding of yourself and move towards a way of being that feels more authentic, grounded, and whole.
Your Questions, Answered
What is Person-Centered Therapy?
Person-centred therapy, also known as client-centred or Rogerian therapy, is a humanistic approach developed by psychologist Carl Rogers in the 1951. At its heart is the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Rather than offering advice or telling you what to do, my role is to provide a safe, accepting, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
This approach is built on the understanding that, when we feel truly heard and understood, we naturally move towards growth, healing, and greater self-awareness. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we create the conditions for you to reconnect with your own inner resources and discover a way forward that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
What does a typical session look like?
You can choose to meet with me either online via a secure video platform or in person for face-to-face sessions, depending on what feels most comfortable and convenient for you.
Both face-to-face and online sessions are 50 minutes long. Face-to-face sessions are £55, while online sessions are £45.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll be offered the same warm, confidential and supportive space to explore whatever feels important to you.
What happens before we begin?
We'll go through the practical details together during our first session, including payment, cancellations, confidentiality, and our working agreement. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions, so you feel clear, informed, and comfortable before we begin our work together.
What issues can you help with?
Everyone's reasons for seeking therapy are unique, and you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I work with people experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including:
anxiety and depression
low self-esteem and self-worth
grief and bereavement
trauma
family issues
relationship issues
loss of identity or direction
anger
personal growth and self-discovery
If what you're struggling with isn't listed here, please don't let that put you off. Therapy isn't about fitting into a category - it's about having a space where you can explore whatever is important to you.
Can you tell me what I should do?
It’s a common assumption, especially if you’ve never experienced therapy before, that a therapist’s role is to provide answers or fix problems for you.
In reality, therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is not to tell you who to be or what choices to make, but to support and guide you as you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and discover your own path forward.
The most powerful changes often come from within.
Enquire
We can have an informal chat and see how it feels to connect. It's an opportunity for you to ask any questions, get a sense of how I work, and explore whether I'm the right therapist for you.
There's absolutely no pressure or obligation to continue after our conversation. Sometimes the connection is there, and sometimes it isn't, and that's completely okay.
