Yes you can. The Driving Genie recommends taking driving lessons with someone that you know in-between your driving lessons with your driving instructor. This will hopefully build your confidence more quickly.

This of course is totally your choice! If you think you might struggle with the gears then automatic driving lessons might be easier for you. But you don’t know until you try! Remember if you pass your driving test in an automatic car, then you are only allowed to drive cars with automatic transmission. If you pass your driving test in a manual car, then you can drive either. The Driving Genie offer both manual and automatic driving lessons. You can always start your driving lessons in one type of transmission and change if you wished to try the other. Subject to availability.
