Is insomnia affecting your day-to-day life? Insomnia is not just about your sleep at night, it is a condition that impacts your days as well. It could be harming your mood, feelings, relationships and work. If you are living with insomnia, a 6-week Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) programme can help you to achieve better quality sleep. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that CBTi) be offered as the first-line treatment for adults. It is recommended over and above sleep medication. Unlike medication, benefits associated with CBTi persist after completion of treatment.

Many of the people I work with have tried therapy before and are looking for something that feels more focused and effective. Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS as a counsellor and EMDR therapist. My background includes specialist work in domestic abuse services, substance misuse, and sexual trauma, which has shaped a careful, trauma-informed approach to therapy.

You might not know exactly whats wrong - only that something doesn't feel right. On the outside things may look fine, but inside it can feel overwhelming, confusing and hard to manage - trying to hold everything together. If you're feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply not yourself—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself. You might be struggling with your thoughts or emotions, finding relationships difficult, feeling lost or unsure of your direction, or noticing patterns in your life that you can’t seem to change. Sometimes, it’s not even clear what the problem is just that something needs to shift.

Making sense of life and our relationships can be challenging at times. We might find ourselves contemplating if we are causing ourselves unnecessary unhappiness, or if this is 'just the way things are'? Should I just keep sticking at 'it', or is it time for things to change? Might we be living our lives in 'survival mode' when we could be 'thriving' instead?

Hi, I'm Neil. I appreciate that life can sometimes feel difficult, stressful and overwhelming. Many of us struggle with relationships, responsibilities and the pressures of balancing our work and home lives. Sometimes you may feel anxious or depressed without understanding the reason why, or have experienced an event that you're struggling to work through. Maybe you just feel flat or unmotivated, or perhaps you're finding life hard to face after losing someone close to you. If any of this resonates with how you feel, I can help you.

Wanting help with anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, life changes, finding purpose or balancing family and work commitments?

After a successful corporate career and self-employed business I can also help with work, employment and the stresses and problems created by them. I've been there. People coming to counselling may think there's something 'wrong' with them, but perhaps it's just that no-one has taken the time to find out what's right for you and help you live from it. I will.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Do you feel haunted by your past? Does it feel like you’re not in the driving seat of your own life, repeating the same patterns of behaviour that have a negative impact on you or others around you? Do you want things to change? It’s very easy in today’s world to become lost, not able to navigate our way through and find meaning, which can lead to feeling like we have no compass guiding us. We might lean on people, places or behaviours that help us to cope in the moment but take away our power. I work with people who want to find their way again.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
