About me
If you are looking for a counsellor to help with Couples Counselling, Anger Management, Depression, Bereavement, Anxiety, Sex & Sexuality or Addictions, I can help you look at the issues involved and will work with you on finding solutions to your current problems. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA).
I've studied many different kinds of therapy from around the world, written groundbreaking articles about therapy and have just published a book that brings together much of what I have learned during 20 years of studying and practicing counselling and psychotherapy. I will help you get to the root causes of your issues and help you move beyond them.
You do not have to be in therapy forever, solutions to your psychological issues do exist, and I will help you find them! Empathy and understanding are a given, however, I will offer much more than that. I will help you understand why you feel the way you do and how you can break out of your stuck places. I will give you the tools to break out for good.
As well as the types of therapy listed I have developed a number of new pioneering psychotherapy methods that I have written articles about and more recently I have written a book which contains a number of new techniques that can really accelerate the therapy. I like to work quite psychoeducationally, giving people the tools to help themselves. However, I also like to work very relationally too.
It might be a cliché of therapy, but I am going to say it anyway: every single clients is unique, so working with each will be a unique journey. There are no fixed plans, or one size fits all. I carry out a thorough assessment of the client, look at what issues they are bringing and what they want to get out of therapy and take it from there.

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.

Additional information

Some evening sessions are also available.
All sessions are 45 minutes in length plus 15 minutes is allocated outside of the session to thinking about the session and writing notes about anything that may be useful for the next session. Unlike most therapists I share my session notes with the client if I feel it would be therapeutic to do so. This is a style of working very transparently that I call Open Therapy.
