Talk

Counselling and Psychotherapy is a powerful way to heal through talking. My approach is integrative and brings together different approaches, styles and ideologies. Not just from the Counselling and Psychotherapeutic sphere, but also from the spiritual sphere.

When working together we’ll build a therapeutic relationship which will serve you in the best possible way. I’ll be there to walk alongside you on your path of self-discovery and healing. I believe we all have the keys and knowledge to unlock those parts of ourselves we’ve barricaded up and bring healing into our lives.

I’m a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their code of ethics. I’m part of a network of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. You can find me through Psychology Today, Pink Therapy and the BACP directory.

AVAILABILITY

I’m accepting clients for online sessions via Zoom and in person within the centre of Manchester (M1 6DN). Sessions are 50 minutes long and can be on a short to long term basis and cost £60. I find it useful to provide an initial 10 minute Zoom session to allow us both to meet and get a feel for one another.

Yoga is the unification of mind, body and spirit through breath. By combining these we work to help to ease the passage or release of energy. This can be through more gentle and softer movements and breathing, which help quieten and calm the mind and body. Or through stronger and firmer movements and breathing, helping to invigorate and energise the mind and body. Sessions are geared towards overall wellness and working specifically with anxiety and depression. They last 60 minutes and cost £60.

Body

Massage is great at helping to relax both mind and body. The release of physical tightness and knots in the body can provide biofeedback that encourages rest and digest responses. The use of touch and pressure on the body also encourages lymphatic drainage and aids in the movement of fresh oxygenated blood, moving energy around the body. Each session is bespoke, tailored towards you and your needs. They last 60 minutes and cost £60.

About

I believe that human wellness is multidimensional. No singular event, element or experience of living can truly cause wellness or suffering. It’s a complex interplay between various factors which make up our experience of life. With this in mind, there can be no singular therapy and counselling service that can heal all. There can be no singular psychological approach which is capable of explaining the complexity of the human experience. This is why my approach is integrative and holistic, with a collaborative foundation, that pulls in ideas from various models and ideologies.

I’m part of the Queer community, identifying as a white, cis, gay man using he/him pronouns. I do my best to be as inclusive as possible in relation to gender, sexuality, relationships, religious and spiritual beliefs. When working together, either through yoga, massage or counselling, we’ll build a safe environment where we’ll be able to explore some of the darker aspect of life and living. Reducing the shame and fear that might be involved with exploring these lesser known parts.

As part of doing my best, I regularly engage with courses and workshops to ensure I can better serve you. This life-long learning is part of what I love about therapy.
