Are you feeling anxious, stressed or burnt out? Have you experienced trauma and want help to feel safe again? Maybe you are either diagnosed or self-diagnosed with autism, ADHD and/or dyslexia and you’re struggling in a world that doesn’t seem to be designed for you? You might feel like everything is spinning out of control and you’re too overwhelmed to know how to respond? Perhaps you even believe you’re too much for others to cope with and a burden on your friends and family?

You are probably struggling with something in your life which you have been unable to resolve yourself. This may be a relationship or sexual problem, anger issues, family problems, anxiety/depression or maybe just a feeling that something is missing in your life. You may have found that you haven't been able to come up with a solution and that talking to family or friends feels like you're burdening them or it is hard to get an objective perspective. Instead of feeling like you're going round in circles and repeating the same mistakes, you'd like to feel more free and empowered.

My UKCP Transpersonal training informs my approach to Spirituality.
I offer a safe, holding space for you to explore your issues, needs and goals and this may be short or long term therapy. Through the process of exploration I aim to help you become more aware of yourself and others, thus making empowering choices in your life, bringing about positive change and enhancing self esteem. I value the healing effect of the therapeutic relationship and how this can deeply facilitate transformation in both our inner and outer lives. I am an accredited supervisor with BACP and UKCP and I am a trained EMDR therapist. I also work with both trainee and experienced therapists in therapy and supervision.

As there is no one therapy that suits all, I use such therapies as Person Centred, Transactional Analysis, Transpersonal, Gestalt, Cognitive/ Behavioural Therapy and relaxation, it is important to find out what is helpful and what is not, in an honest and open way, to find a healthy way forward.
There are times when feelings such as Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-esteem, Trauma and Loss can start to feel overwhelming. Though these feelings are all normal under the circumstances, they can feel isolating and confusing. I can help to process these feelings and find helpful coping strategies. I am passionate about the effectiveness of Integrative Counselling, which tailors the different approaches to each client's needs on a wide range of Issues. Most importantly you need to feel truly listened to and understood at your own pace, which allows you to learn to be comfortable as your true self.

You may be feeling disconnected from your body, holding the breath, living mostly in your head. I see you as a whole being who has adapted to survive, often in a way that used to make sense. Breath, posture, sensations, and symptoms, including chronic physical symptoms, often carry deeper meanings. I'm an Integrative Somatic Psychotherapist, offering a unique holistic approach, grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, functional breathing and somatic therapy. I also draw from a variety of approaches, as appropriate for you, guided by your preferences and the relational dynamics of our work.

From time to time everyone experiences stress, sadness, anger, relational conflict and grief which we often suffer alone. Accepting help from others can be difficult but maybe you feel you’ve toughing it out on your own for too long. Whether you are struggling with an identifiable trauma or you’ve reached a point where recurring feelings are becoming unmanageable; a course of psychotherapeutic counselling may help you make sense of what is happening and enable you to gain and maintain some stability. Feelings of fear, anger, rejection and lack of confidence are difficult areas and discussing them with friends too raw and personal.

Or are you trying to cope with an unexpected change but find yourself struggling? Are you asking yourself why is my life so hard? Why can’t things just get back to being “normal?” Loss of any kind and change of any kind can come out of the blue and can turn your life upside down. Are you needing to talk to someone about how you are really feeling?

Hi, I'm Duncan, a UKCP accredited psychotherapist. Life can get heavy sometimes. Old patterns, big feelings, difficult relationships. It can all build up, often quietly, until it's too much to manage alone. I help people understand what might really be happening underneath the surface, and find a steadier way forward. No judgement, no jargon, just space to figure things out at your own pace.

You may feel stuck in repeating cycles—around addiction, relationships, or intimacy—even though you understand your patterns and genuinely want things to change. Shame, attachment wounds, or codependency often sit underneath, leaving you longing for connection, self-acceptance, and a sense of freedom. Many of the people I work with feel tired of looking outside themselves for answers and are ready to begin a more grounded, authentic kind of healing. Most people come to therapy feeling unsure or ambivalent — often that’s exactly where meaningful change begins....

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
