Welcome to Holden Place Therapy
A place for support during life’s hardest moments
Serving Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Prestbury, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Congleton, Stockport and Greater Manchester.
Get accessible, personalised support through grief, trauma & the times life feels too much.
Holden Place Therapy was founded by Claire Dale, BA (Hons) and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). The vision was to create a calm, reflective space for those living with grief, loss, trauma, and the complex emotions that come with life’s inevitable changes. Here, warmth, integrity, and professional care come together to support real change.
Our therapeutic work has a person-centred foundation, with an integrative approach that draws on different perspectives to suit each person’s individual needs.
You will receive more than comfort and an empathetic ear. Through deep listening, gentle challenge, and authentic connection, our work together can create space for clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of meaning and purpose.
Therapy, at its best, is a place to pause, make sense of experience, and reconnect with what matters most. Together, we can explore what helps you feel steadier and more resilient as you navigate your path forward.
Providing you with a safe space to relax
Appointments take place in the beautiful village of Alderley Edge, Cheshire. There is parking in the village, and our rooms are a 5-minute walk from the train station. You can expect a soothing, fully private room and individually tailored care and support. Limited availability for evenings and weekends.
