I am a well regarded and experienced Solution-Focused Integrative Psychotherapist, and integrate psychotherapy with NLP, Life Coaching and Advanced Hypnotherapy. I've been in full-time private practice since 2002 and offer both long term therapy, and brief therapy and coaching. I combine all my training, skills and experience to produce a treatment that is customised to your personal needs. I have received additional specialist training in working with addictions, anger, treating IBS, managing pain, stress management techniques, and nature-based therapies (Ecotherapy), human development, psychopathology, and Ethical Practice. I am also a fully trained and accredited supervisor and am able to offer supervision to other complementary therapists. |
All treatment is carried out privately on a one-to-one basis, in a highly constructive, relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental environment. Treatment is usually comprised of 60 minute sessions, held at regular weekly intervals.
How can I be sure that you are the right therapist for me?
I understand that It is absolutely essential that you feel comfortable with your therapist. Which is why I offer a no obligation Initial Consultation Session.
|
This gives us the chance to meet face-to-face, take a detailed case history and discuss your problems, desired outcomes and the treatment process, in much more detail. Giving you the opportunity to ask any questions, before making up your mind about continuing with the treatment. You will get honest answers to any questions you might have and a realistic estimate of the number of sessions you may require. Also this initial session gives me the chance to determine if I can help you. If I don't believe that I can help, I will not waste your time, and may refer you on to someone with more relevant experience. |
 |
How many sessions will I need?
As everyone is different this can be a very difficult question to answer without speaking to you in much more depth. For short term brief therapy dealing with a specific issue, you will usually need to budget for around 6 to 10 sessions. For more deep rooted or complex issues requiring long term therapy, more sessions will obviously be required. Sessions usually take place weekly, but this can sometimes be negotiated to suit your circumstances. After our initial consultation I will have a much better sense of both you and the problem you want to work on, and will be able to give you a better estimate.
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. Within very easy travelling distance of Didsbury, Withington, Sale, Streford, Old Trafford, Urmston, Fallowfield, Stockport, and Altrincham.
I also practice from Harley Street, in London.
If you can't travel to me then I am available worldwide for online therapy and coaching via Skype.

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, financial difficulties, public speaking 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, persistant low mood, obsessive thinking, trouble holding onto jobs, and habitual difficulty getting along with others. Psychotherapy can effectively help you deal with both episodic and chronic problems.
Whats the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?
This is not a straightforward question to answer as a lot will depend on the therapists initial and on-going training.
In the context of mental health, counselling is generally used to denote a treatment that offers a sympathetic listening ear, ventilation of feelings, and suggestions and advice. A psychotherapist will be trained in the use of counselling skills, but will additionally be trained in more directive ways of working, to help the client to make deeper personal change by gaining a deeper insight into their chronic emotional and physical problems. It's focus is on helping the client change deeper thought processes and ways of being in the world. Cawley (1977) classifies counselling as Level 1 - Outer level, Relief and Support, and psychotherapy as Level 3 to 4 - Deeper level, Exploration and Change.
In actual practice there can be quite a bit of overlap between counselling and psychotherapy. Generally speaking, however, psychotherapy requires much longer training than counselling. 2 to 3 years training to be a counsellor, compared to 4 to 6 years training to be a psychotherapist. While a psychotherapist is trained to provide counselling, a counsellor may or may not possess the necessary training to provide psychotherapy. A lot will really depend on the individual therapists training.
A trainee psychotherapist is also required to undergo quite a considerable amount of both personal and group therapy during their training. This is to ensure that they have worked through their own personal issues and do not bring them into the consulting room. A trainee counsellor may not necessarily be required to have much counselling themselves, again it depends on their training requirements.
Cawley, R.H. (1977) 'The teaching of psychotherapy', Association of University Teachers of Psychiatry Newsletter January: 19-36.
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 integrate NLP extensively within
my psychotherapy 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 psychotherapy, counselling 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.
