About me

Are you looking for a therapist who has been in your shoes? Someone who has felt the pain and anguish of addiction? Someone who won't judge and has the tools to help you recover from your own sexual/pornography or drug addiction? Someone, who has a proven track record of helping people overcome their addiction and lead a life of purpose and happiness?

I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist who specialises in the treatment of sexual and drug addiction. I trained as a Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapist and recognised as a Certified Inner Child Recovery Process specialist.  I run an evidence based, online, group treatment program for sexual and pornography addiction. I am currently completing a professional doctorate degree in the treatment of sexual addiction. I regularly presents at international conferences on both pornography addiction and the Inner Child Recovery Model. I provide training and workshops for clinicians and work as an addiction consultant for several bespoke residential treatment centres in the UK and Europe.

I am co-author of the recently published recovery manual and workbook, “Understanding Your Inner Child and Overcoming Addiction”.

I am the clinical director and founder of the London Centre for Addictions, the leading UK treatment provider for substance and sexual addictions.

It is my passion in life to help other people and if you are struggling with sexual/pornography addiction, please get in touch.

I have found a way out and you can too..

Client Testimonials:

"I was in a terrible place in my life and I found I was going to lose (or had lost) every one and everything I had. I had lied to all my closest family and friends. I could not see a way back or coming away from my addiction. When I met with Nathan he put me at ease straight away. He understood and related to everything I felt. He showed me with his help and advise and my determination to stop that you can get through it and you can turn things around. I would not be where I am today without him. I cannot recommend him enough"  Jonathan 2019 -2020

I originally went to see Nathan for counselling around my struggles with alcohol. I felt at ease straight away with Nathan, and found his openness around his own experiences very refreshing, helping me to be really honest and drop the shame that I often felt. Nathan really helped me understand myself a lot more in relation to my drinking, what was at the root of it and what kept the cycle going. Once I had understood this, he helped me to explore more helpful strategies of coping. Nathan is kind, down to earth, compassionate, supportive and a really lovely bloke. I know that I will definitely go back to Nathan in the future, to work with issues that life may throw at me. I really can't thank him enough. Vicky 2020 - 2021

I have been struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and have had a past riddled with mental health difficulties and issues. My mother found Nathan's number and I was sceptical having received past help prior to using Nathan that I did not feel was beneficial. I am now four sessions into seeing Nathan and the change within myself is remarkable, I couldn't recommend him enough. He is polite, ultimately professional and above all is relatable and very easy to talk to and open up with. As a confident person myself I found it difficult to listen to others and always felt I was correct or they don't understand but Nathan is different. If you are struggling and need help please reach out to Nathan he is a breath of fresh air and his techniques are really useful. I look forward to working with Nathan to finally put my difficulties to bed and turn my life around for the better once and for all. Thank you Nathan for all your help and support and I am glad I found you in my hour of need. Robert- 2021

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.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
