Beginning Therapy
For some beginning therapy can be a source of nervousness and stress while others may feel calm and relaxed. Individual reactions differ though everything discussed is treated in confidence.

The remainder of our time is then given over to considering what brings you to therapy, the issues or themes you are wanting to address. Continue reading…

Why turn to Paul Melia for Therapy in Manchester?
I provide counselling, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic psychotherapy meeting the one-off, short-term and longer-term therapy needs of adults in a professional, supportive and confidential environment.
