Gordon Wax BA HONS MBACP
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Hi, my name is Gordon. Welcome!
I’m am a fully qualified psychotherapist, working both online and in person from my private consulting room in Manchester England. I was born and raised in London. Personal therapy helped me to untangle my relationship with myself and my emotions from others.
The world alone is a chaotic place to manage our own unknowns, anxieties, and traumas. I understand that everyone experiences the world in different ways, so unique problems require bespoke responses.
Our lives are constantly creating new beginnings, change, and endings, so it’s natural to feel emotions strongly, think differently and respond atypically. I help clients explore all spheres of their life to help them build hope and to cope.

Lavinia May
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCPS (Acc.)
Hi, I'm Lavinia.
If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel disconnected, or find yourselves walking on eggshells - you're not alone, and things can change.
I specialise in couples therapy, and also work with individuals. My approach is warm, honest and practical: we'll make sense of what's going on between you, and build small, realistic steps that help your relationship feel easier, closer and more like you again.
I use proven tools and techniques - without the jargon. Sessions feel like real conversations with direction: we set goals together, track what's working, and adapt as we go.
work with couples and individuals navigating: recurring arguments & communication breakdowns · trust & repair after conflict · intimacy & emotional disconnection · anxiety creeping into the relationship · family & in-law boundaries · life transitions & burnout · reconnecting after a rough patch
Practicalities: 50-minute sessions • Online or in person in my Sandbach office • Individual & Couples. 🎁 20% Off All Therapy Sessions: Spring is here - and so is 20% off all therapy sessions. Let's make it count!
Next step: Introductory Session
50 minutes | Individuals & Couples
The first step is an initial session together - a relaxed conversation to get to know each other, hear a little about what's been going on, and explore how I may be able to support you. There's no pressure or commitment at this stage. Prefer to skip the Introductory Session? You're welcome to book your first therapy session directly.
Available in-person in Sandbach, Cheshire, or online from anywhere.

Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
I am a registered Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Practitioner Psychologist, and am on the British Psychological Society Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). I have been in Private Practice in Central London for nine years.
Before spending ten years in full-time study and training in London universities and NHS Trusts to qualify as a psychologist, I spent a decade travelling, mainly around Asia, studying Eastern psychology and philosophy. Thus, I have a rich lens of psychological perspectives through which I understand and work with the mind.
Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy, which is always tailored to suit the unique needs of each person. The therapeutic work then adapts as those needs change over time.
You will find my approach to be naturally compassionate, and non-judgemental.

Lakis Elezoglou
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychologist, PTCouns., Biomedic, Wellness and Well-Being, Educator
It's a common issue, these days, lack of motivation for anything, even things we love; lack of energy; unhappiness, and generally feelings which keep us away from enjoying life. It is true that many people do not grasp the feeling of being happy or they have forgotten it because they have been in a low mood for so long and can't seem to get out. But, think for a moment how you would feel if you were to actually, and largely, choose your feelings and could manage that low mood. You can't stop birds from trying to build nests, but YOU CAN stop them from, actually, building them. You don't get to choose what thoughts pop into your head, but YOU CAN choose, one, to stop them from nesting AND, two, how you react to them. In addition, many people, although they get to do things that could fill them and help them build confidence, they just can't feel that. It is because there are issues, in their mind, making them feel stuck in a depressed cycle.
With the implementation of easy and straightforward techniques, you can build your confidence and feel better. You will see life from a positive perspective. We tackle issues such as anxiety, fears, performance issues (sports and other), low self-esteem, low self-confidence, arrogance, bad habits and dilemmas you come across in life. Together, not only will we find solutions that work for you, but you will get the tools to do that on your own, as well! You will find more than just therapy! A way of life!
Here, I becomes You and You becomes I. While you are feeling understood and heard, you are finding real, honest, care for, and ever-lasting solutions to, your problems. Wherever you are in the world, I am here to help! Meetings are online in English or Greek. There is no reason to hesitate. Feel free to contact me today, to start this extraordinary journey. Together!

Manchester is one of England's most dynamic cities — a hub for media, tech, music, and higher education — and its therapy community reflects the breadth of this cultural and professional diversity. The city's large student population across the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan, and the University of Salford creates sustained demand for therapists addressing academic stress, young adult identity, and the transition pressures of emerging adulthood. Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, while a private therapy community serves Didsbury, Chorlton, and the Northern Quarter. Manchester's large South Asian, Black Caribbean, and Eastern European communities drive demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists across the region.
