Thank you for coming to my web site. I am an Existential Psychotherapist, that means that I teach people how to release their experiences from the past to discover the magic of the moment then guide them to create their future. I have been trained to use many different processes and techniques because my work has shown me that we are all different and what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. The core of my therapeutic practice is a unique process that I have developed and used since 2003 called Dynamic Thought Transfer Process TM. I teach my clients the DTT process, and from that foundation, the change begins, and all the other healing processes that I teach build the magic that is you. I work with individuals and with couples,as well as families, helping to heal the past, find solutions to personal issues and resolve conflicts. I teach clients how to meditate and then how to hypnotise themselves to change their behaviour; a skill that can be used for life. This is achieved using Brainwave Entrainment Techniques.
I use many techniques, all of which I will teach you so that you can improve your health, well-being and life choices. The techniques include, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Relaxation, Meditation, DTT (Dynamic Thought Transfer), Energy Medicine.
I originally began my Psychotherapy practice in Cheshire in 2002; working throughout the Greater Manchester area. My clients have come from as far away as New York, London, Edinburgh, however the core of my clients come from Altrincham, Ashton, Bolton, Bury, Buxton, Cheshire, Cheadle, Chorley, Chorlton, Didsbury, Knutsford, Marple, Sale, Stretford, Salford, South Manchester, Stockport, Wilmslow, Manchester, Lymm, Lancashire.

Hi Gordon
I write to let you know how well I feel and the complete change round in my life that has occurred since working with you. It only seems like the other day when my friend and I were chatting about how each of us was coping with life. (My friend having suffered from similar problems as mine) I said to him that I was going to have to do something as I was not prepared to carry on feeling like this, which he replied, “I am seeing someone, and he sorted my head out.“ I got your number.
When I came to see you I was depressed, had no confidence, worried about everything, and my life was ruled by my thoughts … which I tried to mask by drinking too much. I also smoked and was overweight.
I came to see you with an open mind, and followed your programme. I could not believe after 5 sessions how differently I looked at life. Your book, 'The SCREWEDUP Letters: Your Past Does Not Equal Your Future' was my catalyst for changing. You then asked, would I consider altering what I ate and drank, as you taught me that what you eat has a significant effect on your behaviour. I was so impressed with the changes in my life that your programme had given me up to that point, that I was open to the suggestion on my diet.
I came back to see you after the month feeling wonderful, I was surprised how easy I found it to make the changes, especially the alcohol … [having drank since the age of 16 and smoked since being at school] … I now do not drink or smoke, and eat guided by your book,
The SCREWEDUP Letters: ‘Why you should lose your mind to lose your weight ’ I am one and a half stone lighter and feel fantastic.
Many people pass comment on how well I look and that is just my appearance. Inside … in my body and my mind … I feel wonderful, confident, self assured, calm and relaxed … feelings I have never had for many, many years. So Gordon I would just like to say thank you, and what you teach really does work, it has changed my life.
Graham Davies ( Aged 52) Manchester
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways,but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
