Hello, I’m Paul Wolstenholme. I am an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling to adult individuals online, in person in Manchester City Centre, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Saddleworth, plus ecotherapy/walk and talk therapy in nature.
The soul-centred therapy I offer supports adult individuals to come into compassionate relationship with their true self, qualities and purpose, access inner wisdom, navigate life’s challenges, heal past traumas, work towards goals, positive relationships, balance and wellness. I am trauma-informed and work in a holistic manner with mindfulness and compassion at the heart of my work. I work with clients at depth on an open-ended basis and I also offer short-term counselling. I also offer group therapeutic workshops to explore deep themes and invite awareness, growth and healing.
I enjoy working creatively (e.g. dreamwork, visualisation, active imagination, sand play, body and breath work) to facilitate clients accessing and integrating wisdom beyond the cognitive realm.
My postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy was awarded by the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) in London. I am an accredited member of UKCP and a Senior Accredited Member of BACP.
I create a safe space to:
- Reconnect to spirit, joy, peace, contentment, your authentic soul nature, qualities, potential and purpose
- Process past experiences and heal trauma
- Build self-knowledge, self-compassion, self-acceptance and self-esteem
- Navigate life’s challenges with mindfulness, compassion
- Foster positive relationships, self-care and holistic wellbeing
- Work towards future goals
- Access wisdom through creativity (e.g. visualisations, dreamwork, creative imagination, artwork, sand trays, breath and body work)
- Achieve healthy balance in mind, heart, body and spirit
