Hi, my name is Gordon. Welcome! I am a full qualified therapist working online and in person from my consulting room in Manchester zone one. Personal therapy helped me to untangle my relationship with myself and my emotions from others. The world alone is a chaotic place to manage our own unknowns, anxieties, and traumas. I understand that everyone experiences the world in different ways, so unique problems require bespoke responses. Our lives are constantly changing, so it’s natural to feel emotions strongly, think differently and respond atypically. I help clients explore all spheres of their life to help build hope and cope

Life can feel heavy at times, especially when you’re used to carrying on, staying strong, and supporting others around you. You may be the person others rely on, while your own needs quietly take a back seat. I offer a safe space where you can slow down and focus on yourself. A space where you can be heard, make sense of what’s going on for you, and begin to untangle what you're feeling and why. You might sometimes find yourself overthinking, putting others first, or unsure how to respond in challenging situations.

Why do we feel like we do?
Maybe anxious? Maybe depressed? Maybe self-critical? Maybe not able to interact with others as we'd like and feeling like our relationships could be better?
Maybe just feeling like we could be living a happier more fulfilled and engaged life?
The patterns of how we feel now have been laid down in our past. Our feelings and behaviours are all there for a reason - usually in ways that somehow protected earlier versions of ourselves.
In therapy we can safely and kindly explore how you are feeling now, where your feelings have come from and how we can approach life differently.

There is a quiet, persistent knowing when a life has become a series of inherited patterns or a cycle of 'penance' that no longer serves. Perhaps traditional paths have felt too rigid, leaving the deeper, soulful layers of your experience untouched. My work is for those seeking to move beyond the surface—those who are ready to un-weave the burdens of the past and reclaim a sense of vital, lived belonging. We look for the light that remains intact beneath the struggle, moving toward a life that feels authentic, expansive, and truly your own

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
