About me
Hello, I'm Toby Burton, and I'm a psychotherapist and addiction counsellor working privately in Kentish Town and for the Nightingale Hospital, a private mental health facility in Marylebone. I work with adults and young people from all walks of life, on a range of issues, including:
- addiction (including drugs, alcohol, porn)
- anger
- anxiety
- depression/low self-esteem
- relationship problems.
I have worked in addiction for 30 years, and helped a multitude of drug and alcohol dependent people with their substance use problems and underlying emotional issues. In recent years, I have also helped many people struggling with the use of pornography and other compulsions.
I offer a half-price initial consultation either in-person, over the telephone or by video call.
If you have any questions, then I would like to welcome you to get in touch with me either by calling or messaging me on 07785 340 781 or click here to send me an email.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
I am an ‘integrative’ psychotherapist, which means I believe that a single therapy approach will not help you with all issues that arise for you, and that there are many different therapeutic ways for problems to be explored and worked on. Consequently, I draw techniques and ideas from different ‘schools’ of therapy, depending on the needs of the people I see.
At the heart of my work is helping you see that your emotions aren't a problem, but your defences against them are. As long as you avoid the healthy expression of your emotions, you will feel anxious and employ cognitive and behavioural defences that will create problems for you. Our therapeutic task is to help you see and let go of these defences.
