I support anyone navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or a sense that something needs to change—even if they’re not sure what. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused.

Perhaps you feel lost, ungrounded, unable to understand your emotional way of being and always seem to be at conflict with yourself and others in your life. Perhaps you suffer from anxiety, stress, OCD, addictions, lack of self-worth. Perhaps you are grieving a loss of a loved one, relationship break-up or a job. In these times of stress and anxiety, one needs to find one’s inner core strength to be able to be fully grounded and able to fully move into life with clarity and focus. With my counselling skills and our teamwork, you can become the person you were born to be.

I also have experience working with hoarding behaviours.
Life events can occasionally leave us overwhelmed, feeling lost and out of control. This can be the root cause of anxiety, depression and destructive behaviours, and at these times we sometimes need a little help to get us back on the right pathway, which is where I can help. As well as unburdening, sharing your experiences during counselling can help to reconnect with your real core self and accept the realities of life. I can support you while we explore your past and present, getting in touch with your authentic self and building your resilience for the future.

If you are like most people, you are probably considering therapy because you want to change something. This might be the way you feel or behave; it might be how you believe other people see you, or how you see yourself. It might be things you think about or dwell upon, or the way you get on (or don’t) with others. Whatever it is, individual therapy provides a space to talk about what it is you want to change and to learn how to bring that change about. A space that is safe, confidential and non-judgemental. As your therapist I see myself as someone who can support you on all aspects of your life journey.

Why me as your therapist ? Because I’ve had to heal from my own emotional harm after being brought up in a high-demand religious environment as well as making my own difficult decisions around relationships and other issues later in life. Because I have been in practice as a qualified counsellor for almost 20 years. Because I enjoy sharing a Gestalt perspective with other people, for people to regain contact with their life-energy and their own personal power, their hopes and life-dreams. Because I am a graduate with a post-graduate diploma in Gestalt counselling and engaged in a Buddhist psychotherapy course for two years.

I offer a safe, confidential space to work through areas of your life that might be troubling you. There may be something specific and obvious you are struggling with or perhaps there is a more general sense that things aren’t right; there is no ‘typical’ person who seeks out help. I work with people facing all kinds of emotional and relationship problems. Psychodynamic work is exploratory in nature; the aim being to get beneath surface level problems to the root causes. I encourage you to bring what is uppermost on your mind so that we can think together and try and make sense of your experience.

I am an integrative therapist specialising in using eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat a wide range of psychological issues. I am highly trained in psychotherapy, neuroscience and trauma and believe that our current issues can often be traced back to early adverse experiences in childhood. Compared to standard talking therapy EMDR generally takes a shorter amount of time to get to the root cause of the issue. Rather than just dealing with symptom management (like CBT), EMDR therapy works directly with the cause of your distress.

Hi I’m Jeff. So tell me are you feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, anger or depression? I specialise in helping you move past these issues. I know life has been hard lately. and I am here for you. I know you want to move on with your life but something always seems to hold you back. Sometimes it is overwhelming to the extent that you know you need more than a chat with friends or a good night out. This goes deeper, and it is hampering you more than you would like to admit. You want some freedom from all this negative emotional baggage you seem to be carrying - it is time to let it all go... but how? It is time to get in touch…

Hoarding Counsellors

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?

Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?

The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?

Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
