About me
Do you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps trauma is affecting your thoughts and relationships, ADHD is making life feel more difficult than it needs to be, or addictive behaviours have become a way of coping.
Whatever you’re struggling with , you don’t have to face it alone.
I’m Tim, and for over ten years I’ve helped individuals break free from deep-rooted patterns, overcome addiction, rebuild relationships, heal from trauma, and better understand and manage anxiety and depression.
My approach is deeply curious and non-passive. We will actively work together to make sense of your experiences, challenge old habits, and help you regain control of your future in a warm, confidential space.
Appointments with me have a clear structure — we agree goals early on and review them as we go. I combine evidence-based methods with a genuine interest in how you got here, working towards change you can actually notice.
I offer face-to-face appointments in Brighton & Hove and South West London, along with online sessions for those who need flexibility or can’t attend in person.
My recent professional development includes Compassionate Inquiry (CI), a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Gabor Maté, a well-known Canadian physician and author.
Compassionate Inquiry (CI) helps uncover the unconscious patterns, emotional wounds, and childhood conditioning that shape present experiences, behaviours, and beliefs. It is a gentle yet deeply insightful process that guides exploration of the root causes of issues, rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms.
Compassionate Inquiry (CI) helps you recognise that struggles such as addiction, anxiety, ADHD, and relationship patterns often develop as coping mechanisms or adaptations to difficult experiences. With greater awareness and compassion, these patterns can be understood and no longer need to define who you are.
CI supports developing a more authentic relationship with yourself, recognising that much suffering stems from disconnection from who you are. By reflecting your experiences back to you, it can help you see yourself more clearly, perhaps for the first time.
It is a distinctive approach that I integrate into my practice where appropriate. If you’d like to learn more, please feel free to get in touch.
To find out more about working with me, please email, text, or call and I will arrange a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation at a mutually convenient time.
Training, qualifications & experience
Post Graduate Diploma, Addiction Psychology and Counselling, London South Bank University 2014.
I have recently completed professional training in Compassionate Inquiry, a postgraduate-level psychotherapeutic approach developed by Gabor Maté. This integrative training combines elements of psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioural, and somatic approaches.
As well as running my own private practice, I have worked in the public and private sector, including occupational health, residential treatment facilities and the criminal justice sector.
My other professional development has also included training in various 'new wave' CBT therapeutic approaches and I am trained in the 'Trauma Informed Care' approach.
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.
