I have experience of working with clients who have encountered significant trauma, grief and/or have been medically diagnosed with a range of mental health challenges.
As a person-centred psychotherapist, I offer individual and couples therapy, both online and in person, facilitating a space where you can acknowledge where you are and start to understand how you got to be there. With growing awareness comes empowerment and an opportunity to choose where you go next.

Hi there and welcome to my profile, I know how difficult the process of finding a right therapist can be, I'll keep things brief. Do you find yourself constantly masking and adapting to others or putting their needs ahead of your own to feel accepted? Do you find it difficult to speak up about what you may want from or how to feel confident in relationships? Do you may feel stuck between wanting connection and fearing rejection? If so, you are not alone, I find that when people may report feeling unseen, misunderstood, there may be feelings of awkwardness and disconnection with others and you may struggle to ask for what you want.

I work with a range of issues and have particular experience in bereavement, depression, and relationship problems.
In a world where people seem more connected to their phones than each other, it's rare to find someone who has dedicated time and space just for you. Someone willing to walk alongside you for as long as you need to figure things out, digest what has happened, and help you learn about yourself in the process. Perhaps you’ve reached a crisis point in your life, and don’t know where else to turn? Maybe you’ve been out-of-sorts for a while, and need some help to figure out what is going on? Or perhaps you're here because you want to understand yourself better and how you relate to others?

I will listen and engage with empathy, thereby making easier for you to feel safe as you share your thoughts and experiences.

Finding a therapist who you feel you can trust and open up to may feel daunting. My practice focuses on offering you a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and in a way that allows you to process what is going on for you. What a therapy session will look like is not prescriptive and will depend on what you bring. Understanding your unique experience of the world will be the starting point on which to build a relationship together, where we can develop understanding, awareness and insight into whatever difficulties you are experiencing.

Hello, I'm Jon. I've been working as a counsellor and and CBT therapist for 14 years both privately and in partnership with the NHS. I find people come to see me when their usual coping strategies are not working anymore, and are finding themselves increasingly anxious or depressed. I often work with people who have work issues, who are either off sick and want to get back to work, or are unhappy in work. Sometimes I find people have a vague sense of something being wrong, and having no clear goals in particular. I charge £60 per hour.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
