Tomlinson Counselling Psychotherapy Manchester

My practice
Hello.  My name is Ian Tomlinson and I am a Therapist and counsellor working in Manchester.  My practice includes working with individuals, couples and groups. 

I have worked successfully with many different types of people in individual therapy covering a whole range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, loneliness, relationship issues and problems centered around sexuality and weight management.  Whatever you bring to me I’ll listen to you carefully, give you hope and support and I’ll challenge and direct when you are ready.  Together, we can make the change that you want, happen.

My couples practice is also important to me.  I get a great deal out of seeing the relationships of the couples that come to me improve.  For me couples therapy needs a different approach to individual therapy. Your relationship will be my client.   I provide a clear framework and very directed guidance to pull you out of your negative patterns of behavior and get you listening and loving each other again. 

My group therapy practice will be starting in September with very limited places.  I advise you to get in contact quickly if you would like a place in the group.  Group therapy is a great way of doing therapy.  It allows you to check out how it is to be with others and gives you an easy way of practising relating and communicating with others in a safe, supportive environment.  It’s also about half the price per hour of individual therapy!


About me
I am a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist with a passion for therapy and counselling.  I find the field fascinating and I get a real buzz out of seeing people change and grow.  I love writing about therapy stuff too and would encourage you to check out my website where I blog about all sorts of therapy related things (sometimes the links are tenuous but I can live with that!).  My working style is pretty straight forward.  I’m not going to bamboozle you with big words or therapy speak and I totally get that making that initial contact is nerve-wracking in its self.  Understand though that by coming to this site and searching for a therapist you are taking a step towards positive change.  Whether you chose to work with me or not, I wish you the best of luck on your journey.  If there is any way in which I can help you do not hesitate to contact me.
