Therapy for when life feels too loud.
A steady, thoughtful space for individuals and couples.
When life feels heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone.
This is a space where we slow things down enough to understand what’s really happening.
Not just the surface problem, but what’s underneath it.
No pressure. No performance.
Just honesty, at your pace.
Why people come here here
Life builds up on us. The stress, the expectations, the things we never really dealt with. Maybe you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or carrying grief that still echoes. Maybe you're stuck in the same arguments with your partner, or feeling the distance in ways you can’t ignore anymore.
You don’t need to have the right words.
You just need somewhere to start.
What we do here
We’re a trauma-informed psychotherapy practice in Ancoats, Manchester, offering in-person and online therapy for adults, young people, and couples.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the problem itself, it’s the noise around it.
The overthinking.
The pressure to hold everything together.
The stories you’ve carried from childhood or past relationships.
Our work is about getting beneath that noise, to what’s actually happening underneath, and to what needs attention.
Individually or as a couple.
Together, we can figure out what comes next.
Who I am
I’m Krista. A therapist, but first and always, a human who knows what it’s like to hold things in.
Maybe you’ve spent years holding it together on the outside, showing up and pushing through, while something quieter underneath keeps pulling at you. Maybe you’ve been called “strong” so often that you stopped noticing what it costs to stay that way.
I understand that, not just from training, but from lived experience. Therapy was the first place I didn’t have to perform strength. It was where I could slow down and actually feel what was underneath it. That’s why this work matters to me. That’s why Beneath the Noise exists.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about making space for the parts of you that had to stay quiet in order to cope. We won’t rush them. We won’t force anything open. But we will be honest. We’ll pay attention to what’s been carrying too much for too long, and begin to understand it together.
