About 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. " Client testimony.
Hello!
I am a Cambridgeshire based therapeutic counsellor and help my clients to understand difficult feelings and emotions so that they can be more confident to live their lives on their own terms.
I can help clients with this process if they are experiencing emotional challenges associated with:
- Neurodiversity specifically the emotional impact of Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
- The emotional aspects of parenting.
- Bereavement and loss for men.
- Managing grief whilst working.
- Poor self-esteem.
- Depression.
- Managing relationships.
In terms of my approach I provide a safe space for my clients to explore difficult emotions free from judgement working remotely (phone or zoom) and face to face.
I work with young people and adults and I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate.
How does the counselling process work with me?
- The first thing is to have a chat about what is leading you to consider counselling. We can do this by telephone or Zoom. This gives you a chance to see if you would like to work with me and ask any questions.
- If we agree to work with each other, we will discuss an upfront contract of expectations about cost, how the counselling will be conducted, where and when it will take place. I will brief you on confidentiality.
- 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.
