About me
Imagine life where you are not:
- Gripped by anxiety, depression, fear or low self-esteem?
- Concerned about your alcohol intake, drugs/substances; compulsive or addictive behaviours (sex, pornography, chemsex, gambling)? Does a sober life seem impossible?
- Impacted by physical, sexual or emotional abuse?
- Overwhelmed with other physical or mental health problems?
Recovery is achievable, but you've found doing it on your own isn't getting what you want. That's why lot's of people start working with a male counsellor and psychotherapist like me, Roger Harrison. I am a male counsellor in Manchester and for over ten year's, I've been providing effective face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy in the Manchester and Cheshire area (M33 5PA), and nationally online counselling, usually for men, to help work through and live beyond the problems above.
Many people have questions and some reservations about starting online or in person counselling and psychotherapy, which is sometimes called 'talking therapy'. That is why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute telephone call, to find out if I'm the right counsellor and psychotherapist for you.

I approach my work in a non-judgemental supportive way regardless of your background, circumstances and differences including those of gender, sexuality, relationship diversity (GSRD), religion, and spiritual (or non) beliefs. I am a gay man and LGBTQI+ affirmative.
Some of the common reasons for seeking help from me are if you want a male counsellor for depression and anxiety or addiction specialist / addiction counsellor; or counselling for low self-esteem; other people seek my help as a counsellor for understanding their sexuality or to deal with abuse and trauma or loss and grief. In fact, there are many reasons counselling can help with people's problems and go on to improve their mental health and quality of life. Through the initial introduction call I will be able to tell if I am the right counsellor for you and how I can help. Please reach out to discuss your counselling needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis (2010) from London university and completed further advanced training. My approach brings together different methods to suit the needs of each individual as their development progresses and based on their reasons for seeking counselling and psychotherapy. This is underpinned with my training in psychosynthesis (a method which recognises our whole person - body mind spirit) person-centered and compassion-based counselling and psychotherapy, and can extend to use acceptance commitment therapy, internal family systems, and mindfulness. For people seeking help with addiction, I am supportive of 12-step programmes, and other mutual support groups in the community.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I am qualified and have experience in helping adults with a wide range of problems, issues and concerns. Sometimes what needs to be explored isn't even known until the counselling experience starts to unfold what is really 'knocking on the door' for healing and attention. Please do get in touch and ask any questions in relation to this and my work in general.

Additional information
I provide counselling in Manchester face to face and online counselling across the country and beyond. The price for face to face counselling in Manchester is the same as that for online counselling and online counselling and face to face counselling are just as affective as each other. Some people prefer the convenience of online therapy, even if they live in Manchester, whereas some people prefer to sit face to face with the counsellor. There are other advantages to face to face compared with online counselling, and everybody is different. It is also important to consider your own circumstances regarding travel - with online counselling available around the UK or even if you travel for work and holiday.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this.
