Steven Mason

As a humanistic relational therapist, I focus upon the Gestalt approach to therapy, exploring the here and now. I work closely with my clients to build a safe and supportive relationship to explore their true selves in a non-judgemental and confidential space. I have been a therapist for over 20-years and have a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, mindfulness and bodywork. I undertook 3-years of rigorous training, taught at the MSc level. I integrate all of my clinical experience into my work as a therapist.

Having worked with people of all ages and walks of life, I have extensive experience. I work in private practice and also within mental health services. I worked for several years in a specialist service for the LGBTQ+ community. In addition, I volunteer in mental health services within the NHS.

There are many reasons people come for therapy. Some of the areas I have experience working with include; anxiety, depression, attachment and early relational trauma, feeling stuck, low self-esteem, addiction, sex and porn addiction, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), self-harm, eating disorders, relationship problems, stress, grief, dissociative identity disorder (DID), gender identity and sexuality.

We all have times when feelings, memories and experiences can feel hard to manage. They can lead us to feel anxious, depressed or low in mood and energy. It can feel challenging, wondering how we got to where we are and not knowing how to move forward. Sometimes, life events such as a bereavement, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job or sudden unexpected illness or injury can feel like a tremendous and unexpected blow. ​

Recognising that we need help can feel daunting, confusing or even hopeless, which is why I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to talk.

I invite you to bring your feelings and experiences to explore in a non-judgemental, confidential and compassionate space, where you are free to be your true self, and together, we can work to figure things out.
