Priory Wellbeing Centre Manchester

I have valued Alia’s support. She was friendly, professional, supportive and our work together has had a positive impact on my mental health.

My experience with Alia was brilliant. She helped me to break through and manage many things I hadn't worked through, noticed or explored in my adult life.

An overall excellent experience, nothing to fault

My "visit" is virtual so I would suppose that I am actually commenting on the technology used? In which case, Zoom works just fine. All good Or otherwise, it's about the treatment that I received. In which case, the care and treatment that I have received from Adele has been first rate. I have engaged with multiple therapists in the past and found them to be of limited value. Adele has been excellent in identifying the right level of support and guidance whilst also allowing me to explore the core of what lead me to where I was. I don't think that I would be in the much better place that I am in today without her expertise, empathy and experience. It just goes to show that Therapy isn't a bad idea, as I had come to believe, just that I had not found the right one.. Thank you for everything, Adele.

My recent appointment was at the end of January 2026. I am a client who's sessions are carried out online via Zoom meetings since early 2020s. When I first asked for help and support due to a diagnoses of Trigeminal Neuralgia I have not visited the Priory Wellbeing Centre in Manchester but if it is anything like the service you receive from therapy, then I feel like the same care, consideration and tidiness would be present at the centre also. My therapist has always been Adele Burdon Bailey. She is a wonderful therapist and is perfectly suited towards my background and my wellbeing needs as I have a background of PTSD, Childhood Trauma, dealt over time with Chronic Health Issues and also grievances. She has over time worked with me through recognizing unhealthy behavioral patterns/anxieties/stressors that I presented towards myself over the majority of my life before receiving therapy, which in turn stemmed mostly from childhood trauma up until the recent passing of my father. She has provided me with so much help, support and guidance and also pointed me in the directions of useful areas of interest such as the Pain Management courses delivered through Breathworks, a wonderful meditative app called Buddhify and various other platforms like the Priory Wellbeing Centre on Youtube. I have found it incredibly easy to chat with her and connect. Our sessions are like listening to a friend, but a friend that is also going to help guide/challenge your mind in the right direction of thought, even if it can be difficult to understand/acknowledge other peoples intentions and ...

I have now been visiting the pryory for a while. I come and see Adele who is very kind and helpful. I must also mention that the ladies on the reception are also very kind and helpful and offer me drinks when I arrive. Everyone goes out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Thankyou

Very welcoming and friendly

I had a fantastic experience with Saddaf. She taught me how to handle OCD and look at it in a less frightening way. I feel so much happier!

My visits are always insightful and very helpful. Most recently was a little tough given circumstances and a slightly longer wait time due to illness causing absence of staff.

Alia Somani has been very helpful in all my sessions.
