Psychotherapist

in Prestwich, 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 Prestwich, Manchester, 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 psychological trauma.
  • 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 (OCD), 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

"Philipp, thanks for your support over the past few weeks. It has been so different from my previous experiences and is much appreciated" 

.D.T

"Philipp was so easy to chat to and he fully understood my issues and how to help me deal with them. I found the whole process to be very effective and I've been amazed by the difference in my quality of life. Philipp managed to make me feel at ease and relaxed to the point I talked more than I would ever to someone."

.C.R.

"I started my Therapy journey with Philipp September 24 and he was fantastic throughout the 18month journey. I went with the hope to tackle some things bothering me from my childhood.

One thing I requested from Philipp was to ensure he challenged me throughout the journey and not present me with stuff I wanted to just hear and he was great at challenging and finding the balance. He also realised during our conversations that EMDR could help which we did a few rounds of. I couldn’t be more grateful for him and the journey. Thank you."

Michael

"Philipp helped me immensely in my therapy journey. Originally coming to him first about my workplace stresses, we went on to working through some of my childhood traumas. His calm and gentle demeanour helped me feel safe, and his practice of IFS and EMDR really connected with me. I feel really grateful for the time we spent together, and I have no trouble recommending him for anyone looking for a therapist that cares and can challenge you to grow!"

"During the sessions he helped me to fully understand my trauma and where it stems from and he supports me in finding ways and solutions on how to deal with it. He has experience with various types of treatment techniques. His personality is very warm and he has a soft approach which is really helpful."

Michael

"I really recommend Philip, he helped me a lot with anxiety and panic attack, and now I can say that my life it’s definitely better since I met him. Thank you Philip"

Luca

"Began seeing Philipp without a clear idea on what I was hoping to get out of our sessions, by the end of our time thanks to him I had discovered I had ASD and came away with a much greater sense of who I was and an ability to focus on the present. Well worth the time and money spent over the last few months, and comforting to know how easy it is to book another session if needed."

Nathan

“Phillip has helped me through all my traumas/anger issues and anxiety! He is very understanding, calm and listens and comes up with a plan for every session of techniques of coping in the present! I looked forward to every session and never had happy feelings before he helped me. Now I’m the best person i can be with the happiness I never knew I had. I now value myself and living life at my best!"
