Gestalt Psychotherapy in Manchester and Online
WHAT I OFFER
INTRODUCTION
My name is Cam and I'm a Gestalt therapist based in Manchester. I work with clients face-to-face and online via video calls.
I offer support for people looking to work on their emotional difficulties, or for people who want to get to know themselves more and are perhaps looking to address deeper-seated unhappiness or dissatisfaction in their lives.
Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I provide a confidential space where we'll explore what's going on for you with openness, respect and compassion.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First, we'll spend some time getting to know each other. We'll look at what areas in your life feel stuck or difficult and explore the wider context and environmental influences involved. I'll often invite you to pay attention to what's going on for you in the moment as you share, and I'll share what's going on for me in response as well. Through this process, you will become more aware of how you contribute to your situation and how you are impacted by others and your environment.
As we get more comfortable with each other, we might experiment with different ways of being, going at a pace that suits you. The aim is to bring about more choice and to broaden your range of responses to whatever situation you find yourself in. With more awareness around your processes, along with a more expansive sense of yourself and your possible responses, you may start to find more freedom and satisfaction.
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY
I'm interested in exploring who you are and how you experience your world. I'll work with you in a collaborative way: together we will tease apart your unique experience and deepen awareness about how you have learned to bring yourself in relation to others, to yourself and to your environment.
Each of us internalise all kinds of messages from society and the world around us - some helpful and empowering, some painful and oppressive, some we've chewed over and chosen for ourselves, some unquestioned that impact us in ways we don't yet understand. My hope is that, together, we will create the conditions that help you to find more clarity, flexibility and empowerment.
TRAINING AND ACCREDITATION
I've completed my 4 year in-depth training in the Gestalt modality and am currently working towards accreditation with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Please contact me if you would like to discuss this.
I work according to the Gestalt Psychotherapy Training Institute (GPTI) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (linked here), which in turn operates under UKCP.
PRICING
My full rate is £55/hr and is flexible depending on what you can afford. Sessions are generally weekly for 50 minutes long but this can be negotiated if a different pattern would suit you better.
CONTACT
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you are interested in starting therapy.
I will get back to you as soon as I can to arrange a short introductory video call so that we can meet each other and see if I might be a good fit for you.
