About me
Hello, I’m Neil, the co-founder of Room for Therapy and one of their practicing therapists.
I believe that therapy can be life-changing and have seen this from both sides of the therapeutic process. I bring to practice my own experience as a person in a complex and often difficult world. This experience has helped form my values as a human first, but also as a therapist.
Each client presents their own unique story but some common issues that I have worked with in the past include depression, anxiety, historical abuse, marital / relationship challenges, and challenges relating to identity (e.g. gender, sexuality, disability, race and class).
My goal in working with clients is to provide a safe, secure space within which we co-create a therapeutic relationship. For me, this means that understanding and honouring the client’s experience is paramount. Having someone relate to you in this way can be enormously healing, but I also believe in the change that can be stimulated by a person gaining an understanding of how their past experiences influence current relationships.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Edinburgh. My undergraduate degree was in Maths and Physics from the University of Glasgow.
In between, I had a successful career in professional and financial services, during which time I became a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
