Julia Reissmann

At present I am working remotely. I offer both telephone and video working. I work day times only, mostly on Mondays but with some flexibility.

You may come for counselling/psychotherapy because of a crisis, maybe an event or series of stresses. You may want to come because you feel unhappy -in yourself, within a relationship, or because you are not managing well with life at the moment.

You might also just have a sense that you want something to be different for you in how you experience life and want a safe space to explore feelings and thoughts, relationship difficulties, trauma or the conflicts between different parts of yourself.

I describe myself as a humanistic therapist. I work collaboratively, so we would work together to build your awareness of yourself and how go about things in your life so that you have more choices in how to respond. I am Gestalt informed and influenced by attachment theory, internal family systems and a trauma-informed understanding of our bodily responses to distress. In practice in the therapy, this will mean a balance of focus between how you are in the present moment, and your life and past experiences.

I offer a free 15/20 minute telephone introductory session so that we can both decide if we a re a good fit. I welcome clients from different backgrounds and cultures. I am LGBTQI+ affirmative. I work online and from South Manchester. Please see my website for further information.
