I provide appointments for Counselling and Recovery / Sober Coaching throughout the week. These are usually from 12:00 to 9 pm.
I work online for local, national, and international appointments in addition to some local face-to-face appointments in south Manchester (Sale) area which is well-served by public transport (including the Manchester-Altrincham tram line).
About me and my therapy practice
I am a counsellor and a recovery coach. I graduated with a Postgraduate Diploma from the University College London in Psychosynthesis Counselling (2010). I have a particular interest in (but not restricted to) addiction, with over 20 years recovery myself. My recovery coaching professional training was with the Recovery Coach Academy. This includes helping people overcome problems of alcohol and substance use (including prescription and street drugs); chemsex; sex and porn addiction and gambling.
I identify as a gay man and have helped many people from the LGBTQI+ / Gender, Sex, Relationship Diverse (GSRD) community. My work is restricted to adults (18+).
I encourage you to call for a free, no-obligation discussion so I can answer any questions that you might have.
Practice description
The way I work with people depends on whether it is for counselling or for recovery/sober coaching. The two approaches are explained on my website at www.WaysToSobriety.com My counselling work is not restricted to problems with alcohol, drugs, or specific behaviours. I am experienced in supporting people to explore a range of issues - these might be longstanding and even something you have sought help with in the past, or, perhaps something has happened in your life more recently that is causing you emotional/psychological distress.
I provide online and some face-to-face appointments and try to be as flexible as possible to find the best time for you.
My first session
What happens during the first session will vary depending on your circumstances, and the reason why you are seeking help. One thing for certain is that I will not ask you to complete lots of forms or questionnaires - what I will do is provide a safe space for you to talk, and for me to listen in a non-judgmental manner. I truly believe that deep down, you know yourself how best to heal, and what actions might be needed, and I will be a gentle guide, and a facilitator, using a range of methods to help you move forward.
