About me
Hello!
It takes courage to talk with a professional about emotional pain and it is important that you find the right counsellor for you.
I can help you if you are experiencing emotional pain associated with the following areas:
- Neurodiversity specifically the emotional impact of Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
- Parenting.
- Bereavement and loss for men.
- Managing grief whilst working.
- Poor self-esteem.
- Depression.
- Managing relationships.
If you work with me, then consider counselling as a journey that I travel with you on. I will walk alongside you and help you to gain clarity on what you need in order to heal and grow. It will be a partnership working side by side.
In terms of my approach I provide a safe space for my clients meeting either remotely (phone or zoom) or face to face in my therapy room based in Sawston, Cambs.
I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate.
How does the counselling process work with me?
- The first thing is to have a chat about you and what you are hoping to use counselling to help you with. We can do this by telephone or Zoom. This gives you a chance to see if you would feel comfortable working with me and to ask any questions. I can then brief you on how the counselling process works and what to expect.
- Then we book the date of your first session.
Please do get in touch if you would like more information or if you have any questions using the email link at the top of this profile.
This is what a recent client said about working with me:
"I cannot thank John enough for helping me through this difficult period of time. I honestly feel that his support made all the difference in my being able to deal with the challenges I was facing. He was able to give me the space to talk, think and open up. John’s warm, non-judgemental and professional approach meant that I always felt safe and able to explore my emotions. "
