About me
Hello, my name is Toby and I am a qualified psychotherapist based in Central London (Paddington & Farringdon).
I trained as an integrative psychotherapist, which means I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches (Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Existential, Person-centred, Gestalt, Jungian, Transpersonal). This allows me to tailor the therapy to your needs, and the specific issues you are facing.
While the therapy I provide is predominantly talking therapy, I also use other ways of working if these feel helpful. These could include visualisations, breathwork, EFT (tapping), drawing, exploring dreams, and working with the body (without touch).
Please visit my website (link in profile) to learn more about my particular approach to psychotherapy and counselling. There you will also find a Frequently Asked Questions section.
If you think you would like to work with me, I offer a free telephone consultation of around 15 minutes. This is a chance for you to ask any questions you might have. It is also an opportunity for us to discuss the reasons you are seeking therapy, whether it could be helpful and whether I am the right therapist for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, obtained at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London.
I am a certified Level 2 Practitioner in Applied EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping)
I am also a registered member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
I have experience working with a broad range of client groups in a variety of therapeutic settings. These include:
- CCPE Clinic, London
- FreshStart Psychotherapy, London
- The Caravan Counselling Service, St James, London
- Maytree Suicide Respite Centre, London
