I specialise in working with those with a history of trauma, whether that’s one off events such as a car crash, sexual assault or attack, or layers of trauma in the form of childhood neglect/abuse, a military/medical career or an abusive relationship.
At the core of my work is a person centred philosophy. I see every patient as different and individual which is why I tailor my approach to each person. I don’t necessarily agree with prescribing a method to a diagnosis or problem as I’ve found this is not always helpful. However I am qualified to deliver EMDR and NET, both evidence based trauma therapies.

Hi there, I'm Chris.
Have you or a loved one been struggling to cope with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or low? Maybe social situations are difficult to face, or work and studies are harder to manage?

If any of this sounds familiar, I can help by providing a safe and open space to support you in overcoming these challenges.

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

Asking for help is not always easy, especially when you’re struggling with something that’s very close to you. I understand how daunting that first step of reaching out and contacting a therapist can be, which is why I always strive to provide a safe, friendly and non-judgemental space for therapy sessions. I am committed to working alongside you and through mutual discussions providing you with the strategies and tools that are the best fit for you. I have a special interest in transgenerational influences which can present as childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety and personality disorders.

Sex therapy is at the core of the work I do. I offer a focused sex therapy approach that aims for specific, measurable changes. This is often shorter-term therapy, targeting present-day challenges, as opposed to long-term psychotherapy.
While the work may touch on exploratory psychotherapy around underlying patterns and meanings in thoughts and behaviors to gain deeper self-understanding, I do not offer open-ended, long-term, or generic psychotherapy.
