Lohani Noor

I am an experienced empathic relational and psychosexual psychotherapist with a long history of working with others in a supportive capacity. I began my career working for the National Association of Young People In Care. For many years after that I worked as a Residential Social Worker. The client groups I work with include mental health, drug & alcohol, addiction, compulsive behaviours, sex offenders, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, low self esteem, relationship issues, loss of direction in life, self abuse and so on.
I am a registered therapist with the LGBT Foundation.
I am a registered therapist with stopSO
Media Profile – I am a couples and relational therapist on the BBC programme Sex On The Couch, currently available on player. I also write for Desiblitz and have appeared on radio 4 as well as other mainstream media outlets.
Author and narrator of ’12 Steps to Sexual Connection’ available on Audible. A couples relational guide.
I am available online and in person. In addition to therapeutic work I also competed nationally and internationally as a Bodybuilder and strength athlete. Until recently I continued to work in the sports arena as a UKBFF/PCA/IPFA Judge. I am mindful of the ways in which healthy lifestyle choices can be overlooked by individuals who do not have the internal resources to recognise the full range of options available to them. Further there are many ways in which people struggle to accept success and sabotage their own success.
Currently I have a psychotherapy practice which I run from the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy in Chorlton. However I offer online appointments and as such I have a broad client base worldwide. I can generally account for time differences when scheduling appointments.
The service I offer is flexible and will be tailored to meet your need, whether that be depression, lack of self esteem, anger management, shame, relationship issues, substance misuse and self harm, eating disorders, sexual abuse, body dysmorphia, psychosexual concerns and so on. Regardless of your presenting issue I will support and facilitate your journey towards becoming a better version of yourself.
I understand and value the experience of the client and so I am always keen to ensure treatment plans are developed within your awareness with your clear understanding, commitment and acceptance. Through developing mindfulness and ownership I would invite the growth of your confidence and motivation in becoming a co-constructor of the therapy process.
I am happy to work with individuals and also couples/groups.
Please speak to me directly about groups as the groups I run can vary in their remit.
