Integrative Psychotherapist

in Manchester & Online

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website

I believe therapy works best when it’s built around you – your needs, your pace, and your story. As an integrative psychotherapist based in Manchester (Prestwich), I offer a warm, supportive space where we work together to help you understand your experiences, heal from the past, and reconnect with your sense of self.

Clients often describe me as warm, insightful, and easy to connect with – someone who truly "gets" them. Our sessions might be reflective and exploratory, or more grounded and practical, depending on what you need in the moment. Sometimes I offer direct guidance, calming techniques, or gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. I adapt intuitively, meeting you where you are, and supporting your growth with curiosity, clarity, and compassion.

An Integrative Approach – Tailored to You

Rather than fitting you into one therapy model, I work pluralistically – blending tools and perspectives from:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): A gentle, deeply respectful approach to exploring different emotional parts and healing inner wounds.
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing): A structured method for trauma processing and memory reconsolidation.
  • CBT: Evidence-based tools for thought and behaviour change.
  • Mindfulness & Focusing: Techniques to increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and connection between body and mind.
  • Chair Work: Inspired by Gestalt Therapy, a creative and powerful way to dialogue with inner parts.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, or unresolved trauma, IFS and EMDR can help separate you from painful emotions and beliefs, while offering new ways to relate to your inner experience with calm, clarity, and care.

What I Can Help With

  • Childhood trauma and PTSD
  • OCD and intrusive thoughts
  • Anxiety and panic
  • Autism-related overwhelm and masking
  • Stress, burnout, and emotional dysregulation
  • Low self-worth or inner criticism

I also have experience supporting neurodivergent clients and those working in high-pressure environments, including through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs). I offer both long-term therapy and brief, goal-focused interventions depending on what’s most helpful for you.

What to Expect

In our first session, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain. You’re in control of the process, and together we’ll shape the therapy around your unique needs. Sessions are 60 minutes and can take place face-to-face, via Zoom, or by phone.

Psychoeducation is an important part of how I work. Clients often tell me they appreciate how I help make sense of their experiences. Therapy with me is not about fixing what’s broken but about helping you understand and compassionately relate to all parts of yourself.

Services I Offer

• Individual therapy for adults

• Trauma therapy (EMDR, IFS)

• OCD and anxiety treatment

• Autism-informed therapy

• Psychoeducation and self-regulation

• Online therapy

• Brief therapy for EAP clients

Location & Fees

I work from private office located in a quiet part of Manchester, and see clients from the surrounding areas including Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan, Preston, and Ashton-under-Lyne.

In addition to face-to-face therapy, I also offer telephone counselling and online sessions via Zoom for clients across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and beyond. Contact me to learn more about how online therapy works.

Sessions are £65. I also accept a range of health insurance providers, including BUPA, AXA, Aviva, Allianz, and WPA.

Get in touch

Reaching out can be hard – I get that. If you feel ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation. We can talk about what’s going on and whether I’m the right fit for you.

Therapy isn’t about quick fixes. It’s a gradual journey inward – one that can lead to deep understanding, healing, and greater freedom.

Warmly,

Philipp
