Too many people still think they need to "suffer in silence". There's a strongly-held belief, especially among
men
, that it's not OK to talk about emotions, about problems in relationships, or about those moments when we feel overwhelmed. I've worked with many clients who come to counselling as a last resort, not really believing it can help them. But thousands of people out there have found that talking does make a difference. If you've been wondering whether it could make a difference for you, contact me for an introductory appointment, to see whether counselling is right for you.

I have a wealth of experience working with both
men
and women from teenagers to people enjoying retirement with a broad range of challenges.
Are you finding every day tough to get through, feel trapped, overwhelmed or hopeless; feel you’ve lost your sense of self and confidence? Do you want someone to listen to you and feel able to say out loud what’s going on without feeling awkward or judged? My clients say I'm empathic and calming and allow them to make sense of everything, safely at their own pace. I'm qualified to work integratively which enables me to work in a way that suits you best. Experience includes 20 years with a leading UK emergency service and volunteering for a community counselling service. Introduction session free .

Psychoanalytical Psychoanalysis and Integrative Counselling: "The speed and accuracy by which Chris was able to work out our personalities and provide genuinely useful insight was, quite frankly, incredible. This insight, hard as it was to digest, proved to be so profound to me that I was finally able to unpick what had being going on in my relationship. His ability to sum up the relationship in one stark metaphor was a watershed moment for me. Through his insight and continued support I have managed to start to discover myself again and to regain my confidence which had been systematically dismantled." Mr. M, 2019, Canterbury.

Most of us will experience sexual and relationship difficulties at some point in our lives and yet it can still be very challenging and embarrassing discussing them. Talking to an experienced and qualified psychosexual and relationship therapist can help you identify the difficulties you are experiencing, understand and explore different ways you can overcome these challenges and move forward. I aim to create a confidential and safe place where you feel able to talk about these issues in a non-shaming way. I am a sex positive therapist and I am comfortable exploring alternative sexual interests.

You come to me because you want a very clear understanding and analysis of what you are experiencing and how to treat the issues. You want to be treated fairly, without judgement; directly, and with intelligence by someone with considerable life skills & experience. You would like to be able to quickly and easily form a strong relationship with your therapist that provides safety, confidentiality, trust and most of all a sense of hope. You want your therapist to be very well informed academically, with considerable skill and experience in being able to explain theory and how it applies to you. Couples and families welcome.

Therapy usually begins with a problem or a personal difficulty, but it usually finds traction when it becomes an exploration of the client's personal experience. My approach is based on developing a relationship of trust with my clients so that they can reach a deeper self understanding and find better possibilities for themselves. It's a process of self inquiry that leads the client to find the commitment to make meaningful change. While everyone's issues, needs and goals are unique, finding a way of reflecting on these matters can be helpful to anyone.

Being a young adult in 2022 is not easy. From panic attacks, to a bad habit of browsing Instagram and Tinder at 4am - I specialise in helping young adults (age 18 to 30) build a healthier day-to-day life by talking about their lives, problems and thoughts. Do any of these statements describe you: "My coursework is just too much, I feel miserable, money problems, I lost someone I loved, I worry my girlfriend is cheating, I'm putting on weight, I suffer bad anxiety in normal situations, I'm having panic attacks, I need to understand myself right and get better now."

I know the past couple of years have been really difficult times for everybody and there have been many changes in how we meet and talk to each other. Certainly in EMDR treatment, we have had to make rapid changes in how we think and work in order to remain available to those in need. My own experience in working online with life's complex and diverse difficulties has found that positive and effective work can equally be achieved via video sessions and has enabled me to work with so many who would otherwise find difficulty in travelling perhaps due to time, distance, work or other factors.

Counsellor, MBACP

Being unable to see a way forward and feeling trapped in your own life can lead to anxiety, stress and depression. I believe trust is the most important thing in therapy, and once that’s established, with your consent I will be there with you at every step of your journey out of darkness and into a brighter future. Personal therapy will allow you to take stock of your life and start to question who you are and what you want in order to move towards a better place. Taking that journey through the therapeutic process you will discover that although life happens out there, its how we respond to what happens that ultimately defines us.
Darren Neal

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I can be found on their website.
