Welcome, I am Lee, I can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I work with clients for short or longer term counselling/therapy. We will work collaboratively to identify the areas of your life that are troubling or distressing and agree the focus of therapy together. Many people come to therapy simply to learn more about themselves and understand the effect of past distressing experiences. I hope therapy will bring you greater awareness, spontaneity and increased intimacy.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I am an experienced therapist and supervisor. As a therapist, I hold a warm, inclusive space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing.

If you are suffering from symptoms related to PTSD or complex PTSD, EMDR therapy can help to alleviate your symptoms. Clients working with me using EMDR have found that their symptoms such as flashbacks and/or being unable to go to certain places can be alleviated or reduced to the point where they are manageable. This work is supported with self help techniques to manage new anxieties as and when they may present themselves, but from a new and more adaptive perspective. I also offer the Safe and Sound Protocol alongside therapy sessions for those clients who wish to work in a polyvagal informed way.

My area of special interest is working with Serving & Ex-Members of the Emergency Services, Prison Service, Journalists and Military with regards to Trauma & mid-life.
I mainly work with men under pressure who may look capable and composed on the outside, but privately know something is not right. Many are in high-pressure roles or lead demanding lives, and are used to being the one others rely on. They often come to counselling when stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, emotional shutdown, shame, or strain in their relationships has started to catch up with them.

I charge £65 per session, and £50 for concession session fee for anyone in the armed forces, NHS and education (including spouses).
I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.
