Welcome to my profile - I offer friendly, creative and in-depth Psychotherapy for individuals and couples and have over 15 years experience. The areas that I work with include; anxiety, LGBTQ+, social anxiety, relationship difficulties, sex and sexuality, trauma and low self-esteem. I have created unique tools to transform self-doubt and build confidence and also offer mindfulness as an effective way to deal with intrusive and negative thoughts. 

The style of my work is integrative, which means I use different models depending on your needs. I also draw on Existential Philosophy, which helps us understand what life is really like for you and what you may wish to develop or change. The Transpersonal aspect of my work looks at your innate potential beyond the difficulties of your life. This can enable exciting new possibilities, which may have not been considered and help repair self-confidence and trust in your life and relationships.

Clients come to work with me for a variety of reasons including; stress, low mood and feeling down, career changes, sex and sexuality, loss and grief, addictions, loss of confidence, loss of purpose and meaning, relationship betrayals and conflict, family dynamics, feelings of overwhelm and hopelessness. I also offer creative coaching as a way to find your creative expression or feel supported with projects you would like to get off the ground. 

Talking therapy can help you better understand repeating patterns and whatever might be holding you back or causing distress. You may have the feeling or desire to change something about your life but don't know where to start. Talking this through, giving voice to it and have me offer an outside persective can help create clarity and confidence in moving forward.

As a UKCP and BACP registered Integrative Psychotherapy I have a Masters Degree and Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy. Prior to training as a therapist I worked as a Designer creating interiors and exhibitions all over the world. Talking therapy helped me during a particularly stressful and anxious period of my life. It helped me make sense and figure out what I needed and how to get there. This is why I now offer this service to others.

“Therapy with Neil has helped me find some order during a very chaotic and difficult period in my life. Simply saying the words helped shine some light but the real benefit for me was putting structure to my thoughts and feelings. Being in an environment without an agenda and without judgment helped me better understand myself.” London, 2021.
