About me

With Christmas & a New Year on the way, this could be the very time to reach out and rebuild 'you'!   You can create a real difference in your life.

How Difficult Has It Been For You?

Are you worried about your future?  Do you feel trapped by repetition?  Do you have relationships where the same problems reappear?

Have you had a terrible shock, discovery or challenge.

Others will have 'played a part in your play' I'm sure - but, you really do hold the key to a better future. Many of your instincts will be good but with a few extra 'tools' to go forward, you really can create a valuable difference.

You really can develop ways through. A good therapy helps you manage life and relationships with so much more confidence.

You may feel at your wit's end but it need not be that way.  In fact, some of the wisdom gained can also influence family and workplace dynamics for the better.

Do not underestimate yourself.  Negative thoughts about yourself are time consuming and tiring. You may feel you are stuck with them – you’re not.

A Little About Me

I am a highly experienced, dedicated and skilled Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Psychodynamic Counsellor.  I have accreditation and am registered with the UKCP. I have been counselling for 21 years and delivering psychotherapy for 16 of those.

My clients are from every age group and walk of life.  All deserve my best....and get it!   If you want change and your able to trust me, we can do great things.

You Are So Important

No matter the ups and downs and struggles we survive, some of our life and history set us up to meet obstacles.  Out of disadvantage, also comes strengths.  I deliver a  relevant and rewarding therapy. It is the therapy known to have the longest lasting impact.

I regard all people as being of equal value. You will be welcome and will always get the very best care and attention. 

Life Is Complicated?

Life unfolds with unlimited variations - that's why I apply so much attention to your story.

If you have discouraging or critical thoughts - it's time to send them on their way and to allow yourself the freedom to believe in yourself!

So many people have been given labels such as ADHD etc., which can help some - for a while!  But never miss the opportunities that exist outside those labels. You were programmed by your life to respond to events in certain ways.  The possibilities ahead are far greater than you may currently know.

Don't let anyone convince you, that you have no power to adjust and improve your life for the better.

If your therapist doesn't get this part right - it's just not therapy!

You And I Solve Mysteries

I know all too well about the difficulties of relationships, the complexities of family issues, co-dependencies, fears of abandonment and those arguments that can becomes all too predictable.

I know about the struggles to deal with life, the letters, the deadlines and the daily needs that you might lose track of.  I know how impulsive responses can be a problem. You are not alone in this. Patience and support can move mountains.

I know how couples may love one another but can find themselves in a battle to be heard as they get caught in painful and highly critical comparison.

Even in the workplace, negative aspects of pressure can create a number of challenges. Sometimes we take these pressures home with us. How to respond with a cool wisdom and, how to restore faith in yourself in a place where there is not enough praise to go round can be truly life changing.

Whatever you reach for, we can work it out together if we both give it all we can.

Safe and Confidential Therapy

Here, no personal identifying information is stored on computers or devices of any kind. 

I offer you what you should always have had in your life – privacy, respect, the attention, the time, the place and emotional space where your needs are at the very centre of everything that you and I do.

Clients usually gain great confidence from the frequent insights.  You and I adopt a pace that's right for you.

No Time To Waste? – You Can Do It!

If you message me I will reply on the same day. You and I can quickly have introductory 20-30 minute talk on the phone - at no charge.  If you then want to continue with therapy, we can arrange the first full session, online or ‘in the therapy room whichever you prefer. I will always respond rapidly to your reaching out to me.

Face to face sessions are in my consulting room and can be arranged quickly.

We can meet in Canterbury or in Bridge in Kent where comfortable rooms await, warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Online sessions are via Skype or Zoom and are also, simple to set up and again, can happen quickly, especially where you feel this is urgent.

If you contact me today you will hear back very quickly - often within a couple of hours.

I am confident that you will feel totally respected and encouraged by my response.  If a part of you is worried about taking this step, I can tell you that 98% of my clients are truly glad they came to therapy.

With all best wishes

Adrian
