Are you facing mental health challenges? Seeking a trusted professional with a unique background to guide you toward a fulfilling life? Look no further.
**Meet Jeff - Your Compassionate Guide**
With over 15 years of experience, Jeff has supported individuals in overcoming a spectrum of issues, including severe anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, gender dysphoria, and abuse, among others. Jeff's journey from professional football to addiction recovery provides a profound understanding of high-pressure situations, making him a go-to therapist for athletes and high-performing individuals.
**Tailored Therapeutic Support for ADHD, Addiction, and Beyond**
In my role as a therapist, I specialize in providing targeted assistance to individuals facing challenges related to ADHD and addiction, among other issues. My approach centers on empowering clients to build effective strategies for personal growth and success.
I am deeply committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that is characterized by confidentiality, empathy, and the absence of judgment. I extend this supportive space to individuals of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, ensuring that everyone can access the help they need to navigate their unique journey towards well-being and fulfillment.
**Mental Wellness Workshops**
Jeff's commitment to mental health extends beyond one-on-one sessions. He conducts over 60 workshops annually, helping organizations foster mental wellness, increase productivity, and break the stigma surrounding mental health concerns.
**Your First Session: Tailored Support**
In your first session, Jeff will explain the counseling process and establish a personalized contract. You'll have 50 minutes to discuss your concerns, and Jeff will provide the support best suited to your needs.
**Therapy Dogs for Added Comfort**
Upon request, you can choose to have a therapy dog present during your sessions. These furry companions are known to reduce stress, boost self-esteem, lower blood pressure, and enhance overall quality of life
**Flexible Delivery Options**
Jeff offers both long and short-term therapy, available face-to-face, online, or over the phone. Contact him via phone, text, WhatsApp, or email for appointment availability, including evenings and weekends (limited space).

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.
