My services can treat all the things that you would normally consider visiting a counsellor for, and much more. It is also my aim to help you resolve your issues as quickly as possible. I offer an Initial Consultation/Assessment Session which gives us the chance to discuss your issues further, answer any questions you might have, give you a realistic estimate of the number of sessions you may require, and begin to work on your issues. Many specific issues can be very quickly dealt with in around four to eight sessions, for more deep rooted or complex problems, eight or more will be required. However as we are all unique individuals, you decide when you have reached resolution. |
I am a full-time professional and experienced Manchester Psychotherapist, Life Coach and a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner.
| Having trained with some of the best trainers, I have received extensive training in various psychotherapeutic approaches, including Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy(NLPt), Contemporary Psychotherapy, Gestalt, CBT, TA and Ericksonian hypno-psychotherapy. This allows me to flexibly combine all my skills and experience to produce a treatment that is tailored to your personal needs. I can work with you to help you to change in the most effective ways possible. By using a flexible solution focused approach, results can be achieved in a much shorter time than when using traditional counselling or psychoanalysis. | ![]() |
All treatment is carried out privately on a one-to-one basis, in a highly constructive, relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental environment. Treatment may be comprised of several individual 1 hour sessions, or longer extended breakthrough sessions.
Practice Location
I practice from a consulting room in my home in Chorlton in South Manchester, close to junction 6 & 7 of the M60, and the end of the M56. If you can't travel to me then I am also available for online therapy, counselling and coaching via Skype.
My services can also be combined and tailored to your individual or company needs, and range from one to one private therapy or coaching sessions through to group training and workshops.

How Do I Know if I Would Benefit From Seeing a Psychotherapist?
We all experience painful feelings at one time or another in our lifes. Many feelings such as sadness, hopelessness, anxiety and stress naturally arise as part of living life. For instance, it is quite normal to feel stress or anxiety before an interview or exam.
![]() |
Where it becomes a problem is when these feelings overwhelm you so much that it becomes hard for you to function normally in your day to day life. If you are stressed, tearful, have trouble sleeping or eating, have poor concentration, lack direction, have low energy and motivation, are drinking or using drugs excessively, have persistant low mood, having trouble controlling your temper or getting along with other people, then you should seriously consider seeing a psychotherapist. Some problems are a reaction to stressful events in our life, such as losing a job or getting divorced. Other problems however, can be more chronic and exist even when they we are not in a period of extreme stress. |
These may be patterns of low self esteem, negativity, bad relationships, trouble holding onto jobs, and habitual difficulty getting along with others. Psychotherapy can effectively help you change these long term problems.
NLP creates a model of how individuals structure their own unique experiences in life. Using NLP we can step into your view of the world to discover, patterns of thought, beliefs, values and using NLP processes, help you to change those patterns, set compelling goals, build motivation and change your life for the better.
As well as
offering NLP for therapy, Life
Coaching and Business Coaching, I also use NLP extensively within
my therapy sessions.
So what does that mean?
It means that by understanding how your mind works, you can change it
so that is always working for you and improving your life and the lives
of those around you.
Who can benefit from using NLP?
People from all walks of life use NLP personally and professionally. Often
called the "Psychology of excellence" NLP is used for a multitude
of reasons.
For example:
Individuals using Neuro Linguistic Programming for Life Coaching for self improvement, will find it easier to achieve their goals, overcome their problems and develop new skills, because they gain greater access to their internal resources.
Businesses can utilise NLP for Business Coaching to greatly improve their sales and customer service as well as interpersonal management skills.
Educators can learn how each child learns best by studying the verbal and nonverbal language of a child. Education is communication of knowledge and experience through which one can retain the knowledge. NLP is used to strengthen communication skills of educators so that each student gains the most in the shortest amount of time.
Counsellors can help clients make lasting changes quickly and with lasting results. In a day and age when long drawn out therapies with limited results is the norm, NLP provides a fast and highly effective alternative.
Medical and Dental Professionals can eliminate patients' fears and anxieties about procedures. Along with the use of hypnosis to eliminate any possible pain the client may be anticipating.
Athletes can utilise NLP techniques to improve performance and concentration as well as mastering the skills they need to excel.
Actors & Performers can utilise NLP techniques in auditions and casting calls to get jobs. During performances NLP can assist in memorising lines as well unifying the performer with the character or image they are presenting for a more powerful performance.

Ecotherapy
I am very interested in taking therapy out of the consulting room and using our natural environment as a way to powerfully stimulate our awareness and promote change. Research has shown that this can be a remarkably effective method of personal change. It uses all the benefits of counselling, psychotherapy and coaching combined with outdoor activities. Suitable for anyone, but particularly effective for those who love nature and the great outdoors. May also be successfully combined with my standard sessions held in my consulting room.
I offer a number of nature-based therapies, ranging from walking therapy through to weekend workshops held in beautiful woodland in North Wales.
Interested? Please get in touch by simply phoning me on 0161 881 4333 or to make an enquiry.

Clients' Comments

'A note to thank you for the work you did with me over the past weeks. I feel much more focused, more care free and have a healthy amount of realistic self belief. The last session in particular seemed to clear something much more fundamental than the eating thing. I
think you are a highly skilled and effective practitioner and I
count myself as lucky to have come across you. Thank you again.
' |
| '8yrs
of prescribed anti-depressants never even scratched the surface of
my condition. 4 sessions of NLP empowered me to be my 'true' self
and gave me the ability to handle situations which (previously) filled
me with anxiety due to low self esteem & a sub-zero confidence level.
My mind is finally a nice place to be thanks to NLP.' Happy'n'content Didsbury |

'I
saw you just over a year ago to quit smoking. I am no longer an
ex-smoker, but a non smoker and have passed the 1 year mark successfully,
so thank you for your help with that.' SW |
|
'Thank
you once again for your help with the eating. I feel more relaxed
around food and can now make better decisions about what I eat.' P. |
| 'Nigel's
sessions, give a real insight into the powers of hypnotherapy and
NLP. His sessions are both friendly & relaxed and have helped
me greatly with confidence and agoraphobia problems, allowing me to
enjoy parts of my life I once feared. He teaches as well as heals
and helps you in self-hypnosis allowing you after your sessions to
help yourself. If you have fears or phobias then his sessions are a must.' RJ Ashton-u-Lyne |

'A
very positive experience in all ways. Many Thanks. |

'Overcame years of food abuse. Made me feel great and calm about my body.' FT |
|
'I
feel much better thank you. I really don't worry about blushing
as much as I used to and I do feel like I blush less and am just
generally less self conscious about it. Thanks for your time! ' |
|
'I just wanted to send an email because it has now been 7 months tomorrow since I quit smoking and although it is probably all down to me, I feel that most of my thanks should go to you because whatever you did it sure has worked. I feel like I have never smoked a cigarette in my life and whenever I smell smoke it makes me ill and since that day on July 7th the thought of a cigarette has never entered my mind.
I feel like I can breathe again and never have shortness of breath like I used to, dont smell. When people have had a cigarette and come near me the smell knocks me sick.
I am sure this can continue forever and I just wanted to extend my thanks to you.' Ex-Smoker |
