Philip McNally

I am in private practice just one day a week (Tuesday) and offer therapy sessions online or face to face. 

I began my career with training as a counsellor, followed by the completion of my Diploma in Transactional Analysis (TA) Counselling and Psychotherapy. Additionally, I am a Trauma-Informed Therapist. I am dedicated to offering compassionate and personalised support to individuals seeking to navigating life's challenges toward personal growth and healing.

My professional journey began in 2013 with a Mental Health charity and IAPT service in Bolton, where I provided support to clients facing a range of challenges. In 2017, I transitioned into higher education and served as a Counsellor until 2023, delivering guidance to young adults and mature students within a University Student Counselling and Wellbeing Service.

I am currently employed at a charity dedicated to supporting male survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence, and rape. Additionally, I have a small private practice in Central Manchester, where I provide therapeutic services for individuals and couples. My therapy options include short-term solutions as well as long-term explorative work, tailored to meet each client's  unique needs.

I offer sessions in both face-to-face and online.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´) and strive to uphold the highest standards of ethical and professional care. 

My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to Depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety disorders, Panic disorders and fear of intimacy, Childhood trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, Gender identity and relationship or family issues, Workplace conflict, bereavement, and neurodiversity 

My approach is integrative, empathetic and relational, focused on empowering clients to overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals. Whether you are seeking support for past trauma, emotional difficulties, or interpersonal issues, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where growth and healing can thrive. I believe that Building strong relationships with clients through trust and transparency is key to your healing, long-term growth and success. My experience is that some clients prefer a more formal approach whilst others prefer things to be more casual. Adjusting my approach to suit your preferred style and tailoring our interactions accordingly will help to build rapport. I follow a detailed intake procedure which helps me to understand your situation, your problems and their origins. I individually tailor the therapy for each client. I offer a free initial assessment appointment to all prospective clients.
