Transactional Analysis Counselling in Manchester
Facing the underlying often painful feelings we experience as humans can be incredibly difficult and something we would rather avoid. If only it were that easy!
Often these feelings spill out from under the surface and can impact our daily lives in unwanted ways. I offer a supportive space where you can explore these feelings and their impact.

My core approach is rooted in Transactional Analysis and Integrative Psychotherapy; humanistic and relational frameworks which look at how the past might be living in the 'here & now'.
Welcome, I’m Joy (she/they). I’m a qualified psychotherapist working with individuals and couples online. With particular experience in LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergence & the Performing Arts, I offer a compassionate, sincere and confidential space for individuals and couples to work through their experiences. My practice is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming, which means I am comfortable working with trauma-based and neurodiverse frameworks. Mostly, though, I am interested in you, and supporting you with the courageous decision to get to know yourself better.

I work relationally and my primary modality is Transactional Analysis, which looks at how our past informs our present and how we create "life scripts" that help or hinder us.

Hi, I’m Craig. I am an integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, with experience of using Yoga for anxiety and depression, based in Manchester. I care about helping people navigate those sticky and uncomfortable moments in life. For most of my adult life, I’ve felt a pull towards the helping professions. This pull led me to the realms of counselling, psychotherapy and yoga. I’ve found the tools and skills from these realms transformative in my own development and growth, and in others. I take an integrative approach, bringing concepts, skills and techniques from the psychotherapeutic, yogic and spiritual spheres.

Maybe you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside it feels like too much. It might be anxiety, depression, past trauma, ADHD, or patterns in relationships or with self-worth that feel hard to shift. You don’t need to explain it all perfectly, just somewhere to start. I’m a BACP-registered therapist offering a person-centred, trauma-informed space to go at your pace. You’ll be met with empathy, honesty, and respect. People often come to me feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure where to begin. Over time, you can start to feel more settled, more like yourself again, and like things are a little easier to face.

I’m a UKCP registered therapist trained in Transactional Analysis.
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 now work individually with adults, predominantly using Transactional Analysis psychotherapy.
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, people pleasing, or stuck in a place that leads you to being frustrated or anxious in your life?

As a fully qualified and highly experienced therapist, I work one-to-one with adults on a whole range of different presenting issues that can include anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship issues, and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. People access therapy when they find that they are stuck not knowing what to do next, or how to get out of repetitive and destructive situations. I can help.

The modalities I work with include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy and Transactional Analysis.
I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can talk freely and truly feel heard and understood without judgment.

My main speciality is Transactional Analysis, which offers you the chance to understand and process your internal dialogue, routes of strong feelings and strengthen your Adult self which can be freeing and empowering.
I understand that it can be hard to reach out for therapy, especially when you may be finding life tough at the moment. Or perhaps you are in a better place and have decided that you want to explore aspects of your life. Either way, please do contact me to discuss your needs. In therapy sessions I would work with you to process your past so that you can see how it impacts the present. For many there is the need to grieve for what has been lost, whilst giving the opportunity to identify and embrace your true inner self. You would strengthen ‘Adult’ you, freeing yourself to embrace life.

I have been trained in transactional analysis, gestalt, and person centred.
If you’ve spent most of your life holding it together for everyone else, it can be hard to know what you actually need. I work with thoughtful, high-functioning women who feel overwhelmed, stuck in relationship patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Together we explore where these patterns began and how to start changing them.

Feeling fed up in your relationships, stuck in the same cycles, or unsure where to turn? Life can easily start to feel like a constant struggle where you're just going through the motions. Therapy can help you feel more in control of your emotions and safely look beneath the surface. My approach focuses on the early patterns and childhood dynamics that keep you stuck today. Together, we’ll focus on what actually matters to you,
helping you build self-respect, set firm boundaries, and stop settling for emotional breadcrumbs.

My priority is to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to just ‘be’ without any expectation, so you can explore any issues or struggles that are impacting your life. You may know what these struggles are, or you may not have the words or an understanding of what is going on for you. And that is okay. You may come to therapy with a set idea of what you want to explore, or you may come to therapy with just a hunch that something isn’t right. Therapy isn’t linear but I’ll be transparent in our work together and guide you in what can be difficult but ultimately enlightening work.

Therapy brings clarity, helping you make effective decisions and positive changes in thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours. It's not about advice giving but creating space to talk, explore, and reach your own realisations. The goal is to feel more equipped to make choices and move forward with confidence and wellbeing. Hypnotherapy & mindfulness can be introduced as a type of complementary therapy—hypnosis promotes focus and openness to positive change, while mindfulness helps keep you grounded in the present.

You look fine, but you don’t feel fine. And you tell pretty much nobody because it’s hard to admit. So instead you perform competence whilst wondering late at night what the hell is wrong with you and why you can’t just be happy. You believe you should be ok, and you don’t trust the nagging doubts that something isn’t right or trust yourself to see things clearly. Instead you keep going and hope. You smooth over awkwardness with colleagues and end up carrying more than your share with your family and relationships and friends without really noticing when it started. At some point, life starts to feel like something you’re managing.

Transactional Analysis is a method of psychotherapy descended from psychoanalysis.
By working with you to understand your learned thoughts, feelings and behaviours, I will help you to locate your own power to make meaningful, authentic change.
Together, we will explore with compassion what you want to change about your life. We will look at the decisions you have made about yourself and the world and how these might be holding you back, and take active steps towards doing things differently.
I offer a non-judgemental, open minded approach with my clients.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.
