Rainer
I moved to the UK over 50 years ago and settled in Bolton, I have been married for 55 years.
I am a qualified engineer and in later life studied successfully several models of psychotherapy. The need to help people was always in me and this spurred me on to enter the counselling profession.
My colleagues have all the same goal: To ease anxieties in persons affected by events out of their control.
Faith
I am a qualified counsellor, using person-centred therapy and offering online sessions.
I live in the Wigan area. Any work will be confidential, and I will build a trusting and safe environment for you to explore any issues and needs you have. My background is in HR and working with groups of individuals one-to-one. This valuable experience led me to become a counsellor. I also volunteer at a women’s charity.
I work with abuse, anxiety, attachment issues, career counselling, depression, low self-esteem, stopping nightmares, relationships problems ( personal or work related), stress and trauma.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or at a crossroads in your life, I can help you navigate your way through in a supportive manner.

What our clients say.
” Rainer was a great help in listening to what I had to say, and then, gradually, his comments and prompts guided me to a fair amount of self reflection which helped me to realise that there are always other angles and perspectives to our ‘problems’, and that it was within me, myself, to reflect on and identify and choose to adjust my approach to things and choose ‘positive’ options rather than negative ones that may have become bad habits, which we have probably developed from a ‘tunnelled vision’ perspective. All of this has helped me to get less anxious and stressed with ‘life situations’ and to manage them in a more positive way. “
” Thank you for listening to me and giving me your insights, which have been so useful. Please know I am forever in your debt. Thank You. ”
” Rainer is a wise and gentle man who was a very reassuring person to open up to, he helped me work through my issues and feel more confident moving forward. ”
” I found doing Zoom the best therapy I have had. Think as it was in my own home I could be really comfortable and relax. I think this service via video link would be so beneficial to so many people who may not want to get out of their home or afraid to go to another unknown place. Really I feel it would be a great service after lockdown. I have had several lots of therapy over the years, but this definitely worked the best. Rainer is a really easy person to talk to. Zoom sessions made me much more relaxed and I talked much more freely. Thank you for your time listening to me. ”
” The recent death of my sister in America affected me greatly. I was unable to visit her due to covid and she passed on. I was recommended to Rainer and due to covid and my fibromyalgia and sadness I would not face to go out the house. First I could not master to sign onto Zoom straight away. Rainer telephoned me and guided me. I was very apprehensive at first. Rainer put me at ease and was easy to talk to. Gradually I could unburden my anxiety and my deep sadness which I carried inside me. Rainer helped me to come back to reality. Rainer is a kind and gentle person and I felt comfortable to talk to him. ”
