About us

Struggling to cope with work stress? It might be time to talk.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed at work, struggling to switch off, or noticing the signs of burnout or anxiety, you’re not alone.

I’m Niall, a BACP-registered therapist. I work with managers, leaders and professionals to help them feel calmer, clearer, and more in control again.

Confidential. No pressure. No hard sell.

Does any of this feel familiar?

  • I feel constantly on edge
  • I can't switch off from work
  • My mind won't stop racing
  • I feel stuck and I don't know why

Whether you are dealing with these issues right now, recovering from difficulties in the past, or looking to take proactive steps to protect your wellbeing in the future, talking with a skilled, independent and compassionate therapist can really help.

Why work with me?

I’m Niall, a BACP registered counsellor (registration number 413944) providing person-centred online therapy across the UK from my base in Leeds.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a lawyer and later in policy and leadership roles within central government and the NHS in England. I was also a workplace coach and mentor. These experiences continue to inform my understanding of:

  • Professional pressure
  • Workplace stress & burnout
  • High-responsibility roles

I have a first-hand understanding of the pressures, demands, and loneliness which can come from being the person in charge whom everyone is relying on.

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Distinction) from the University of Leeds, where I worked both online and face-to-face with clients.

Rather than telling you what to do, I offer a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, helping you make sense of what’s going on and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Alongside this, I bring structure and focus to help you make meaningful progress at a pace that feels comfortable, so you can begin to feel real progress.

Ready to talk?

You don't have to navigate these pressures alone. I offer a free initial assessment to discuss how we can work together. Visit my website (www.iminduk.com) or email (iminduk@outlook.com) and lets talk more about how I might help.

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.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
