Threshold Psychotherapy is an association of psychotherapy trainees under supervision, who offer services to individuals online and face-to-face in the North West. Our practice is founded on a deep respect for the complexity of human experience. We provide safe, confidential spaces where all parts of you are welcome — whether they are painful, uncertain, hidden, or just beginning to take shape.
With integrity and openness at the heart of our work, we aim to meet each client with genuine care and thoughtful attention and attunement. Whatever brings you to therapy — whether it’s longstanding patterns, recent difficulties, or a search for clarity — you’ll find a place here where your experience can be spoken, explored, and understood.
Finding a psychotherapist can be a daunting process, especially if you have not spoken with one before. It can take some time to find a therapist who feels like a good fit - each person is different. The following sections explain our process and what to expect at each stage.
This is the first step, via this website, email, phone or SMS. You can briefly share what’s bringing you to therapy or simply say you'd like to talk. Your prospective therapist will respond within a couple of days and find a mutually agreeable slot for an introductory call.
Please do let us know if there is a particular therapist you are interested in working with.
For the introductory call, your therapist will contact you for a phone conversation of around 15 minutes. This is a chance for you and your therapist to connect briefly, answer any initial questions, and get a feel for whether working together might be a good fit. There's no pressure or commitment.
If you and your therapist decide to work together your therapist will send you the welcome documents, which will contain a brief questionnaire, working agreement, mutual expectations and payment information. You and your therapist will find a regular time to meet, either online or face-to-face. The initial frequency of appointments will be agreed at this point.
The work will enter a period of assessment, which normally lasts for 4-6 appointments. This is a longer conversation where you and your therapist explore what has brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and how we might be able to help.
Sessions in this period are likely to focus on building a mutual connection, while seeking some sense of your situation, both in the present and in your past.
Regular sessions begin. You and your therapist work together at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful, exploring thoughts, feelings, patterns, and possibilities. This stage is collaborative, flexible, and about working to produce agreed changes.
When the time is right, we’ll plan for an ending together. This might happen naturally over time, or be a more structured piece of work. The aim is to reflect on what’s changed, what’s been learned, and what comes next.
I believe deeply in our capacity for growth and change — whether it's discovering new ways of living, transforming how we relate to others, or reconnecting with our creative, fun side. I believe life is about pursuing vitality while maintaining our capacity for introspection and curiosity. Whatever challenges you are facing, I will meet you with compassion, empathy, and respect. Together, we will form a therapeutic alliance focused on finding meaningful and lasting solutions.
You may be coming with a specific issue — or with a sense of being held back by unhelpful thoughts, painful feelings, or difficult behaviours. Even if life looks ‘fine’ from the outside, it may not feel so good from the inside.
Talking to friends or family can be helpful, but sometimes these relationships are part of what maintains the difficulty — or they simply don’t offer the safety or depth you need to really examine the situation. That’s when it’s time to talk to someone impartial.
I offer a free initial online or phone consultation. You are very welcome to get in touch with a question or to arrange a time to speak.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked on medical and scientific software and carried out academic research in the fields of psychology, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
I am a student member of the BACP and UKATA.
