Georgina Lloyd
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
I specialise in crisis, trauma, anxiety, and supporting individuals and families living with chronic illness. I use well-established therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s needs, helping individuals develop insight, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I work with children, teens, and adults. I am one of fewer than 10 providers of Accelerated Resolution Therapy in the UK, have assisted in ART trainings in the USA and also offer ART consultation/ support to new clinicians. I also offer TF-CBT, and other talk therapies.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in pain from past experiences, you're not alone and you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, compassionate space to begin healing. Together, we’ll work at your pace. When you're ready, I’m here to help, reach out and let’s take that first step.

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.

Dr Jacob Ellwood
Psychologist, PsychD, Cpsychol
I am an experienced integrative therapist, and I am trained in a range of modalities that will allow us to identify a tailor-made approach to help you overcome your unique challenges. I offer a warm, accepting presence, and work on the assumption that all successful therapy proceeds from a person-centred foundation based in empathy, positive regard and genuine concern for the welfare of my clients. Approaches offered include CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based therapy, and I am also a level 3-trained EMDR therapist. I also incorporate elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and schema therapy.

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.

Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
Life can feel hard. I’m dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I often incorporate mindfulness techniques to support clients through challenging situations including grief, loss, abandonment, relationship issues, as well as anxiety and depression. If you're feeling stuck for any reason, I can offer a safe, holding space to listen to you and work with you to gently challenge how you think, feel and behave. I'll work at your pace and may use mindfulness or creative interventions to aid our work together, as well as grounding techniques to turn down any overwhelm or white noise. I also do 2-chair work to help with ways of communicating, as well as processing loss and bereavement.

Preston is Lancashire's administrative centre and a city shaped by its industrial past — once a major cotton manufacturing centre — that has evolved into a hub for public services, healthcare, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the UK's largest universities. UCLan's significant student population generates consistent mental health demand and clinical training pipelines, and the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services. Preston's large South Asian and Eastern European communities — including one of the UK's largest Gujarati communities — drive sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists. The city's working-class character and post-industrial economic challenges mean therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational family dynamics alongside student and professional concerns.
