Alcohol Use Counselling in Manchester
Do you feel like you’re "managing" life rather than living it? Perhaps you’re waiting to feel like your "old self" again, only to realize that version of you no longer fits. Whether you are navigating the profound identity shifts of the perinatal period or processing long-standing trauma, the path forward isn't always about going back—it’s about discovering who you are now. You might feel stuck in cycles of perfectionism or burnout, tired of performing for others. You’re looking for a space to exhale, integrate your experiences, and safely begin the process of becoming your next, more authentic self.

I know it can be overwhelming to sift through all these profiles, so I’ll keep it simple. I'm a qualified therapist with 12 years of full-time experience. I'm a friendly, down-to-earth bloke with a good sense of humour, and I've gained (a bit of) the wisdom that comes with age and experience. My goal is to understand and support you, but I'll also challenge you to break free from whatever is holding you back when needed. I have a proven track record of helping people reduce distress, understand themselves better, and navigate life more effectively.

My role is to guide you out from living in the past and to re-decide a better future. This is your story and now is the beginning. It is never too late to choose a different path towards a more positive outcome.

I offer Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - tapping) which is like acupuncture but without the needles. You tap on specific parts of your body whilst working on difficult experiences or emotions. There are over 100 studies which found it to be effective with a large variety of difficulties but more higher quality studies are still needed.
It works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the system that makes the body relaxed) whilst thinking about difficult things so that the brain then associates the difficulties with relaxation in the future rather than distress.

I believe that the therapist and client come together as a team to work through issues that may stand in the way of you reaching your potential. Through my training, I have mainly used Transactional Analysis, but also have some experience working in a solution-focussed way and like to work integratively as each person is an individual who may like to work in a different way. I work with people on a range of issues, but find that I work with people with anxiety or depression most commonly, and pride myself on working hard to make people feel at ease.

Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns despite knowing what needs to change? Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, low self-worth, or feel that you're holding yourself back. You may feel disconnected from yourself, exhausted from carrying so much, frustrated by repeating the same cycles, or aware that something is getting in the way of living the life you know you're capable of.
I believe many of the struggles we experience in adulthood are driven by unconscious beliefs, protective strategies and survival patterns that once kept us safe but now keep us stuck.

Recently, I've been working with a lot of clients who have substance misuse issues.

Have you ever promised yourself that things would be different this time, only to find yourself stuck in the same cycle? It's common - wanting to improve a relationship but losing your temper despite your best efforts, or hoping to express your feelings but freezing when the moment comes.

People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally exhausted. In time, life will feel a little easier to face, and you’ll start to recognise yourself again.
