About Us

Height Psychology was founded with the explicit understanding of current limitations in psychotherapeutic input. Psychotherapy, conventional psychiatry, nutritional psychiatry, and our bodies physiology are often separated; this should not be the case. Height Psychology is aligned with a vision to bridge these gaps.

Recognising the critical need for psychotherapists with a medical background to provide a comprehensive understanding of mental health, Height Psychology addresses the limitations of current psychotherapeutic practices, which often rely on a narrow range of modalities with insufficient understanding of the physiological influences on psychological states.

Consequently, Height Psychology is partnered with a CQC-regulated psychiatry clinic in Manchester. This collaboration ensures a comprehensive approach to mental health care, integrating physiological assessments (biomarkers, nutritional screening, metabolic screening etc.), supplementation protocols, medication optimisation, and diagnostic evaluations, alongside psychotherapeutic input. By following the forefront of breakthroughs in research, we can address mental health concerns from all angles, ensuring the most thorough and effective care possible.

Meet Our Founder

“From my academic training, I gained knowledge to help others, but it was from my experiences that I gained the desire and ability to help them.”

Dr. Harry is a dedicated mental health professional specialising in adult psychiatry and psychotherapy, with a comprehensive background in both medical and psychological training.

Educational Background and Professional Experience

Following his graduation with an MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) from the University of Manchester Medical School and subsequent general medical training, achieving full registration with the General Medical Council, Dr. Harry has since dedicated his practice exclusively to mental health. Dr. Harry's training in psychotherapy includes, but is not limited to, completing advanced diplomas in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Jungian Analysis. He has also completed specialised psychotherapy training under the direct guidance of Dr. Stephen Costello, earning a Diploma in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis from the Viktor Frankl Institute of Ireland. He is currently working as a Specialty Doctor in Adult Psychiatry, whilst also practising as a psychotherapist. His expertise encompasses a range of emotional disturbances and disorders, from mild to severe.

Personal Philosophy and Vision

Dr. Harry is committed to providing comprehensive mental health care, integrating both medical and psychotherapeutic approaches to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. His practice is grounded in a deep understanding our physiology, utilising cutting-edge research, including biomarkers, micronutrient and macronutrient deficiencies, and supplementation. He employs behavioural techniques that impact physiology and explores newer forms of psychedelic treatments due to their efficacy in optimising mental health. This unique approach, informed by his medical training, ensures a multi-faceted treatment plan that is often neglected in traditional psychological practices.

Psychotherapy Sessions with Dr Harry

During psychotherapy sessions, Dr. Harry's approach will often involve drawing from various psychotherapeutic modalities tailored to an individual's needs and circumstances. Guided by the methods of influential European figures, including Viktor Frankl (Logotherapy), Sigmund Freud (Psychoanalysis), and Carl Jung (Analytical Psychology), as well as prominent American contributors like Aaron Beck (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Jon Kabat-Zinn (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), Carl Rogers, and Abraham Maslow (Humanistic Psychology), he is able to tailor interventions to match each individual's distinct challenges and requirements.

While his approach largely draws from various psychotherapeutic methods, there are exceptional instances where he might apply just one of these, recognising the unique applicability to specific cases. However, given the complexity of each individual's temperament, circumstances, and needs, lasting benefit will often demand the use of multiple psychotherapeutic modalities.

‘In a professional field that is an intuitive art, as well as a learned craft, the therapist walks a fine line. If the craft is overdeveloped at the exclusion of the art, there is danger of it becoming rote; i.e., going with standard formulations and techniques. If the art of the therapeutic process is overemphasised, the process may become vague and without direction. Therefore, heart and head must walk hand-in-hand.’ -  Ann V Graber
