Mr Lionel Hunter

Member Status: Accredited

Member No: NCS20-01421

Location: Manchester

I am a therapist based in Manchester city centre, offering in-person and remote therapy sessions across the UK. With significant experience supporting the LGBTQIA+ and BAME communities, I specialise in treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and other mental health challenges.

My approach focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental space that empowers you through self-exploration and autonomy. Through an authentic, empathic therapeutic relationship, we can gain deeper self-understanding to help you feel ready for positive change towards a more fulfilling life.

Utilizing person-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking short-term or long-term support, I'm passionate about supporting your journey of personal growth.

I understand the courage it takes to seek therapy. If you're looking for an affirmative Manchester therapist specialising in depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+, or BAME issues, I invite you to contact me to discuss how we can work together.
