Psychological Therapy

Evidence-Based Psychological Therapy for Children, Young People and Adults

At WMI Psychiatry, we provide psychological therapy for children, young people and adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties.

Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to understand your experiences, develop new coping strategies and work towards meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, difficulties managing emotions or the impact of stressful life events, our therapists work collaboratively with you to develop an individualised treatment plan.

Appointments are available online throughout the UK and face-to-face at our Manchester clinic.

Our Approach

We recognise that no two individuals are the same. Our therapists take time to understand your experiences, goals and strengths before developing a personalised treatment plan.

Therapy is collaborative, meaning that you and your therapist work together to identify the areas you would like to focus on and develop practical strategies that can be applied in everyday life.

Our aim is not simply to reduce symptoms but to help individuals build confidence, improve wellbeing and achieve lasting positive change.

The most appropriate therapeutic approach depends on your individual needs and the difficulties you are experiencing.
