I have a huge amount of experience of working with people who have specific diagnosis such as (Eating Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, OCD).
I am a senior CBT Therapist in NHS and work part time in my own private practice. I have specialist qualifications and experience working with Eating Disorders and Psychosis. However, this does not mean that I do not treat all mental health difficulties as I am experienced and skilled in all aspects of mental health.

It can be daunting when we start addressing things that are painful and open up parts of our self which don't often, or ever, get expressed. I believe everyone has the right to be heard and accepted, so aim to create a space for this to flourish, whilst using the strength of the therapeutic relationship. Whatever has brought you to me, I aim to meet you where you are, help you gain deeper insight to yourself, and facilitate meaningful change.

Sometimes people come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying too much alone. You may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, past experiences, or a sense that you have spent much of your life surviving rather than truly feeling able to be yourself. I offer a warm, relational, and non-judgemental space where we can explore your experiences together and help you develop greater self-understanding, emotional clarity, and a more connected relationship with yourself and others.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. For several years I was on the training committee at AGIP including two years as chair. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By this I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us.

You have now taken the first step to living a 'whole' life. Whatever your reasons for seeking support, nothing is too big or too small to explore. Our sessions may be about a specific issue or transition you may be going through such as relationship or work challenges, a bereavement or loss or about exploring feeling 'stuck' and a lack of motivation or energy to move forward in life. Alternatively, you may want to take the time to explore a little deeper, particularly around initial attachments and past experiences or events and how these may be impacting you in this present time. The greatest agent of change is self awareness.

Talking therapy doesn't suit everyone. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that allows for meaningful interaction beyond words. In Art Therapy, communication is not dependent on talking alone. Art therapy opens the possibility of working creatively, playfully and sensitively with a therapist to address and transform personal difficulties.

Beginning therapy and finding a therapist can be a daunting process, although just taking the first step of reaching out to one is the most courageous step. I offer a confidential safe space - either in person on online - to talk about your concerns or anything which is currently troubling you at the same time and day each week. The regularity of sessions and the relationship between client and therapist which develops is part of the journey of healing that therapy can provide. I am a fully qualified and accredited psychotherapist with experience of working with people to help them heal and feel better about themselves.

I have experience in working with a range of presentations including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bereavement, OCD, fertility, self-esteem issues, infidelity, sexuality and relationship difficulties.
The therapeutic process helps identify and understand what is happening in your inner world, in your relationships, your behavioural patterns and the difficulties in you experience. I work holistically with an evidence based theoretical framework. I believe that fundamentally we seek to know ourselves, to attune to our relationships, and to make sense of our story. These insights provide a foundation for a stronger sense of self, more fulfilling relationships, and an expanded perspective on life. Whilst therapy can provide symptomatic relief, my hope is that it will also bring you deeper awareness and sustainable progress.

Although engaging with a wide range of clients with differing presenting issues, my focus has been on working with clients with anxiety-related challenges, such as OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety, excessive worry and perfectionism, amongst others, all of which are often accompanied and perpetuated by low self-esteem and harsh, negative self-talk.
Hi, I’m Andrew.

Life and relationships are not easy to navigate. If you’re experiencing anxiety, anger or depression, or going through difficult life events, things can feel overwhelming. I understand how difficulties cause you to lose your sense of control, your overall wellbeing and your sense of who you are. These are normal experiences, but if you’re struggling to feel a basic sense of joy about being you, or if your relationships are causing you more pain than pleasure, then it’s time to seek help. It can be difficult to imagine how talking therapy can help, but together we can work towards symptomatic relief and the freedom to be youself.
