Manchester Life Coach & Integrative Therapist
I began to work as a life coach in Manchester as a result of my own personal life experiences, especially regarding recovery from addiction. These included issues around past trauma, personal relationships, addiction, mental health and ultimately navigating my way through life. As a result of continually working through my own personal struggles, I continue to heal old wounds. This helps me to change destructive patterns of thinking and behaviours.
About My Work
I have worked with people in a professional capacity for 22 years providing therapy, life coaching and various other therapeutic interventions. I support people to make positive changes in their lives.
As a Manchester Life Coach, I am skilled in helping individuals to work through emotional and psychological blocks and in helping people to discover and achieve their full potential.
I am passionate about people and I believe that everybody has the capacity to change their thinking and their behaviour if they really want to.

David Ryan cares. He doesn’t stop and it is never negotiable. This is one of the hallmark features of a truly effective therapist. David has assisted in the facilitation of many of our Clearmind International workshops in The UK. He is always thoughtful and skilled.
I interviewed David on my Podcast ‘Toxic Masculinity and Finding Hope in the Darkest of Times’. I was inspired by his transparency and his authenticity. David is a man who embodies the work and a therapist who truly leads by example.
