About me

Are you looking to overcome anxiety, OCD or phobias? Perhaps you want to conquer insomnia, stress, low mood or IBS symptoms... The fact you are researching therapists is a great first step to creating the life you want. I know it can be overwhelming looking for a therapist but is also a rewarding and life-changing experience. It is because of this that I am committed to providing you with an informative, supportive and professional experience. My aim is to provide you with a safe space to reflect on your life and to help you create solutions that will get you to a place of feeling more confident, balanced and content.

Because you are unique and your needs are individual to you, I offer a range of therapies so you can choose what helps you. These include Integrative Psychotherapy (a mixture of different types of talking therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Counselling), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR - a way of resolving traumatic events in our life), Emotional Freedom Technique (also known as tapping - a useful way to diffuse anxiety and unwanted feelings through tapping on the body), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (to help you and your partner/s improve your relationship. I also offer Clinical Hypnotherapy which is solution focused, bringing together solution focused talking therapy and gentle, relaxing hypnosis to help people overcome phobias, IBS, anxiety, stress, insomnia and much more.

If you want to find out more about sessions, I would love to hear more about your concerns. I offer anyone interested in working with me a free 30 minute consultation. Get in touch now to book some time and let’s get to know each other!

Some feedback from previous clients:

 Adam is an incredibly kind, patient therapist who listens with perfect respect and understanding and would never allow you to feel judged. I laugh and cry in our sessions in equal measure. The suggestions he makes are practical, simple and very very helpful. I’m so glad to have chosen him.

(Betterhelp Client, Oct 2024)

 My experience of therapy with Adam was a positive and enriching experience. Adam created a calm and open environment for exploring while also guiding me through practical exercises to build upon our discussions.

(Ross, April 2024)

I initially went to Adam due to having a fear of spiders and was hoping that he could help me tolerate them a bit better. Not only did Adam help my fear of spiders but also made me more confident in myself and the ability to believe that the sky is the limit - literally! I did paragliding whilst on holiday a few weeks back! I never imagined doing anything like it. Thank you so much Adam! I will definitely be using your services again! HIGHLY recommended!

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
