Hello, I'm Charlie (he/him), a Registered Counsellor and UKCP Trainee Psychotherapist (In Advanced Clinical Training). I offer a confidential, respectful, sensitive space where you can explore what you’re going through and where I work with you to make the changes you want in your life. Taking the step to speak with someone, whether you have done this before or this is your first time, can feel both daunting and empowering. You're going through something at the moment, have thought a lot about it and are looking for someone who feels like the right fit to work with you in moving forward.
In sessions I can work with you to make sense of what is happening in the present and if/how this may be influenced by the past. I can also work with you to look at what all this means for you in the here and now and how you might create new experiences and do something different to take your life in a new direction. Maybe you can relate to some of this:
• Feeling ‘stuck’? • Always putting others first? • Dealing with loss? • Questioning who you are? • Dealing with the impact of something from your past? • At a turning point in your life? I work in an LGBTQ+ affirmative and anti-oppressive way. Contact me to arrange an initial consultation - I respond within 2 working days (please check spam if no reply).

"
I draw on Transactional Analysis and take an Integrative perspective in my practice. What this involves is working with you to look at and accept all the different parts of your experience and explore the familiar roles or patterns that may be repeating in parts of your life. In your sessions, I can work with you to live more in the present, increase your choices and create something new.
