About me
Hi, I’m Piers, a Person-Centred psychotherapist (MBACP). I offer a calm, thoughtful therapeutic space where experiences can be explored without pressure to explain everything quickly or move immediately toward solutions.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be carrying anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relational difficulties, trauma, disconnection, self-doubt, emotional intensity, or experiences that feel difficult to fully put into words. Sometimes there is a clear crisis; at other times, simply a growing sense that something no longer feels entirely sustainable, connected, or alive in the way it once did.
My work is grounded in the therapeutic relationship itself. I understand therapy less as the application of techniques and more as a collaborative process through which experiences may gradually become more speakable, more felt, more coherent, or more fully met within relationship.
I am informed by contemporary relational, developmental, neurophysiological, phenomenological, and trauma-informed perspectives, while remaining rooted in the Person-Centred tradition. Alongside private practice, I have experience working within NHS and psychiatric settings, supporting people across a wide range of experiences and levels of distress.
I do not see people as problems to be reduced to diagnoses or fixed explanations. Human beings continually adapt to the realities they have lived within, and therapy can offer a space where those experiences may be approached with greater curiosity, steadiness, understanding, and care.
Therapy is rarely linear. At times it may feel relieving, reflective, uncertain, emotionally intense, fragmented, quiet, or difficult to language. My role is not to impose direction onto another person’s experience, but to remain thoughtfully present to whatever may be emerging within the work, while helping to hold a space where complexity does not need to be prematurely simplified.
I currently offer online and in-person therapy in central London.
If you would like a fuller sense of how I work, you are welcome to visit my website or arrange a brief introductory call.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work from a Person-Centred orientation grounded in relational, developmental, and process-oriented understandings of therapy.
Alongside private practice, I have experience working within NHS and psychiatric settings, supporting people across a wide range of experiences and levels of distress, including anxiety, trauma, dissociation, neurodiversity, relational difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and psychosis-spectrum experiences.
My work has been shaped not only through formal training, but through ongoing clinical practice, supervision, research, reflective inquiry, and sustained engagement with contemporary therapeutic thought. I continue to engage deeply with developments in relational psychotherapy, trauma-informed practice, phenomenology, interpersonal neurobiology, psychological contact, and process-oriented approaches within the Person-Centred tradition.
In 2026, I presented original research at the BACP International Research Conference exploring relational depth, psychological contact, and therapeutic process within Person-Centred psychotherapy.
My approach remains grounded in the understanding that therapy is not simply the application of techniques, but a relational process requiring presence, ethical attentiveness, emotional depth, and respect for the complexity of human experience.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
