Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy

The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy evolved from the Lifestream Centre for Psychotherapy, which was founded by Bob Cooke TSTA in September 1987. Bob Cooke was interested in the idea of creating a Therapy centre in south Manchester and saw it as a place where people could come, knowing that they would be attended by skilled Therapists and treated with high regard and with confidence in safety and confidentially. At that time the staff consisted of two full time Therapists, Bob Cooke and June Brereton, and several other part time Therapists. It was through the establishment of this centre in 1987 ,that the Institute has its roots and subsequently its standard of Excellence it is today. Our Beliefs We have a fundamental belief that those who are personally motivated and willing to change will do so, and in so doing inspire the growth of others. Whilst on this path of self-development those who change will enhance the development of their environment. For those working and training at the Institute, personal Therapy and Supervision are a basic requirement, thus ensuring a clear and safe environment for all clients in attendance.
