About me

Hi, I’m Billy, and I am an experienced therapist who believes that many of the struggles we face in life are not signs that something is “wrong” with us, but expressions of pain, adaptation, disconnection, and unmet emotional needs. Often beneath anxiety, depression, burnout, addiction, or emotional overwhelm, there is a deeper part of ourselves longing to be heard, understood, and reconnected with.

I bring over 1,000 hours of client experience, working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. Over the years, I have supported clients experiencing chronic pain, addiction, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, chronic fatigue, burnout, depression, eating disorders, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, and major life transitions, as well as challenges relating to identity, meaning, purpose, and spirituality.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Psychosynthesis Psychology, alongside a Psychosynthesis Counselling Diploma, completing my training at the Institute of Psychosynthesis. I have also completed professional training with Gabor Maté through Compassionate Inquiry, deepening my understanding of trauma, emotional patterns, and the ways our past experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.

I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore yourself and the challenges you are facing at your own pace. My approach is integrative with a transpersonal perspective. To me, this means seeing each person as more than their symptoms or diagnosis. Alongside understanding emotional wounds and patterns, therapy can also become a space to reconnect with meaning, authenticity, inner resources, and a deeper sense of who you truly are.

I understand that no two people are the same, which is why I adapt the therapeutic process to your individual needs. Some people come seeking support during a difficult period in life, while others feel a deeper desire to understand themselves, break repetitive patterns, or reconnect with parts of themselves that have been lost or suppressed over time.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation via Zoom where we can explore what is bringing you to therapy at this stage in your life, what you are hoping for from the process, and whether we feel like a good fit to work together.

Please feel free to contact me to arrange a free initial consultation.

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.
