About me
Hello, I'm Adam - an Integrative TA Psychotherapist and Person-Centred Counsellor. In plain English: I'm a therapist who will really listen, be led by you, and work at your pace. No jargon, no lecturing -just a non-judgemental space where together we make sense of your experience, sometimes using easy-to-understand ideas and analogies to help you understand your inner world.
A few areas I'm especially experienced in:
When someone you love is struggling with addiction. Having someone close to you caught in alcohol or drug use can be exhausting, confusing and lonely - and it's often the family and partners who quietly carry the heaviest load. I've spent several years working in drug and alcohol services supporting exactly this: both people facing their own addiction and those affected by a loved one's. If you feel like you're losing yourself in someone else's struggle, I can help you find your footing again.
Relationships that keep going in circles. Perhaps you notice the same arguments, the same patterns, the same endings - and you'd like to step off the merry-go-round. We can look together at what's keeping the pattern going, and what becomes possible when it loosens.
Anxiety, trauma and that 'stuck in a funk' feeling. Whatever's weighing on you - a low hum of worry that never quite switches off, the aftermath of difficult experiences, or just a sense of being stuck - you don't need a label or a crisis to deserve support.
Maybe none of those quite fits, and that's fine too. Whatever brings you here, I'll walk alongside you as we explore it. I bring my experience and knowledge to offer fresh perspectives where they help, and practical models and practices to help you break out of unhelpful patterns - always at your pace, always led by you.
You're under no obligation to commit to any therapist straight away, and I'd encourage you to take your time. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call, by phone or Zoom, so we can get a feel for each other with no pressure. If it feels right afterwards, I'll send you more details and we can book in a first appointment.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
