Psychotherapy in Glossop, Central Manchester and online

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.”

About me

My name is Paul Whitehead.  I'm a Gestalt Therapist working in Glossop, central Manchester and online. 


You may be here because you’re stuck, feeling cut off, anxious, depressed, or have an ever-present feeling that there must be more to life than this. I’ve been there too, and know that psychotherapy can really help. 

 

Our initial sessions will build a picture of what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain. You may have a clear idea or simply feel something isn’t right and want professional input to discover more.  However you arrive, I offer an open, accepting and caring space where you can explore anything worrying or holding you back.  

 

With a background as a mindfulness and meditation teacher and ordained Buddhist, I integrate body and breath awareness techniques and compassion-focused practices with traditional talking therapy methods.

I specialise in supporting people with grief, bereavement and other significant transitions in their life. I also have a particular interest in working with people who may be confronting spiritual or religious problems or crises.

  • Anger

  • Bereavement

  • Depression

  • Exploring existential issues around life, death and meaning

  • Feeling there is something wrong with you

  • Gender

  • Life changes / transitions

  • Loneliness

  • Trauma 

  • Work / professional issues (including imposter feelings)

 "I came to Paul at a time of crisis caused by one major event. Over the time I spent with him I was able to address this and other deeply buried issues that revealed themselves, much to my surprise. I always felt safe and went at my own pace. There was no pressure from Paul who facilitated our sessions with skills that made it just feel like 'talking'. I felt able to go forward with confidence and am very grateful for his care."
