About me
Your counselling journey can feel tricky to navigate, especially when you don’t know where to start.
I’m Tim; I provide a pluralistic service, which means that a range of styles of therapy are utilised and tailored to best suit you.
I have extensive counselling experience working across a range of organisations alongside running my own private practice.
My goal is that when you finish counselling you leave with a fresh perspective and feel better equipped to take the next steps towards the life you want to lead.
I offer in person, telephone, and online appointments.
If you feel that I may be the right counsellor for you then please get in touch and we can discuss further.

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.

Additional information
Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and are available in person, via telephone, or online via video call. I also offer home visits for an extra fee which is dependent on how far you live from my work address.
I have ample flexibility in the day time Wednesday - Friday and limited evening spaces available. If you require evening, please still get in touch as I may be able to accommodate.
Once we have scheduled an appointment I ask that if you need to cancel for any reason that you provide at least 24 hours notice. Should a session be cancelled in less than 24 hours then you will need to pay for your session.
