Spotlight on Identity.

When we can no longer recognise ourselves reflected in the words and images of others, we can undergo a kind of symbolic collapse, abjection. Perhaps some of this can be discerned in this new video clip in our updated blog on Identity, where Jeff Lynne reflects on his first hit as a songwriter, see here,

Many people seek therapy because their day-to-day life has become disrupted by a symptom.

But the symptoms a therapist works with are not medical in nature p this is why therapists don’t have a medical training.

Rather than an illness or biochemical imbalance, the symptoms a therapist works with are structured like a message. This artwork helps illustrate this,

By transforming anxiety into fear of a nameable object, a phobia can support a relatively anxiety-free life so long as that object is avoided. A phobia is far from a purely negative thing. However…

*The Mirror Stage*

For therapists our identity is shaped by the identifications we make—a process that begins during the mirror phase.

Therapy in Manchester provides in-person psychotherapy and counselling for adults.

We offer both short- and long-term therapy at our practice by St Ann’s Square.

Established in 2011, we bring over 14 years of professional expertise.

Starting therapy is a different experience for everyone. Some people feel excited, others uncertain, and some feel both calm and relaxed.

Individual reactions differ, but everything discussed is treated in confidence.

Your first appointment will begin with a brief overview of how our service works, including confidentiality. The rest of the session will focus on considering what brings you to therapy…

Since the symptoms therapists deal with are structured like a language, therapy can help you complete what’s only half-said…

*A Divided Self*

Outside of our awareness, much of our time and energy is spent editing and censoring ourselves.

For example, how often have we heard someone say, ‘I don’t wish to criticise you, but…’?

We might wonder why they raised the matter only to deny it.

Their unprompted denial may suggest that they are not entirely in agreement with what they are saying—they are, so to speak, in two minds.

Therapy in Manchester can help you hear what is personal and specific to you, to complete what has only ever been half-said in your life…

Our Story

We are an established and registered Psychotherapy Service in St Ann’s Square, Manchester.

We provide psychotherapy, counselling and psychoanalysis.

We work with adults with a wide range of mental health needs, some looking for short-term therapy, others for longer-term appointments.

Our Service

People use our service for individual reasons,

• because of life’s big events – a change of status, perhaps brought about by a bereavement, becoming a parent or a change in employment

• because of day-to-day life – troubling patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours might have begun to occur

• it can be due to a general mood that’s difficult to put into words

• or symptoms such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, confusion, rage, and trauma

Psychotherapy can be short – sometimes a single session – or last many weeks, explore more on our website

Experienced and Professional

I chair the North West Regional Psychotherapy Association. I bring two years experience as a mental health triagist for a leading Private Healthcare Provider.

My training is in Transactional Analysis, Integrative Psychotherapy and the Psychoanalysis of Freud and Lacan.

I took over the running of Therapy in Manchester nearly 10 years ago. Before then, I was an Art Historian for 20 years, occupying increasingly senior positions within UK universities and working with artists David Hockney and Peter Greenaway.
