As a qualified psychologist who offers a holistic, integrative approach to therapy that acknowledges the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, social, and cultural influences on well-being, my work is grounded in Western and non-western psychological theories, allowing me to tailor therapy to each client’s unique background, needs, and worldview. Most of my clients seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from others. I am passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, have clarity in their thoughts and emotions.

I'm a Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and British Psychological Society (BPS). I have over 14 years experience of offering therapeutic interventions working in the prison service and in the NHS and am now working in private practice. My approach to therapy encourages compassion and self acceptance while also helping people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Using this information people can then consider whether change needs to occur and we can work together to make this change.

Hi, I’m Carl. I am an integrative person-centred counsellor for both individuals and couples. Something probably doesn’t feel right in how you experience life or your relationship right now. Pain surfaces in all sorts of ways but you might be experiencing anxiety, waking up, low mood, anger, self-harm or suicidal ideation. You might ruminate about what has happened, catastrophising about a future you can’t control. You might do stuff that isn’t like you, or are told you’re more short-tempered than usual. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what’s going on.

Counselling is about making sense of what’s on your mind and finding practical ways to feel more in control. I listen closely, ask questions that matter, and help you explore strategies that actually fit your life. Sessions are focused, supportive, and occasionally lightened with well-timed honesty—because life doesn’t always need another lecture.
Whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-esteem, work-life balance, or life transitions, we work together to clarify what matters to you and take steps that lead to real progress.

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist with experience in both NHS and private practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the link between what you do, what you think and how you feel. Unfortunately, life presents us with difficulties and usually we are able to cope well on our own with these situations. There are occasions, when for whatever reason, we need help from someone else, which is usually a friend,colleague or family member. Sometimes, however, you might find you have no one to turn to or talking to a friend or loved one seems too difficult, painful or just too complicated.

I am calm, understanding and empathic. Don’t suffer any longer than you need to. Seek help. If I’m not the right person for you I will direct you to a colleague who can help.

Is your child or young person struggling emotionally? Are they shut down and difficult to reach? Do they seem to have lost some of their spark, energy or joy for life? They might be isolating in their room, resisting going out or refusing to attend school. They might be very anxious, rigid, controlling or unable to cope with any of the expectations placed on them. Do you sometimes feel like you walk on eggshells around them, trying to avoid triggering conflict, unsure whether they’ll be angry and reactive, low and tearful or just numb? Do you feel like you have no real idea what is causing their distress let alone how to help them?

I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist who recently retired from the NHS, after over 30 years of dedicated work in Children and families mental health. It is hard to see our children struggle or to acknowledge our struggles as parents. Children might struggle with anxiety, trauma, and a variety of psychological issues that might effect their relationships, their sleep or their learning. I offer a safe and not judgemental space for parents, young children, adolescents and young adults (up to 25 years of age) a space to explore their difficulties and to move on.

I accept bank transfers and WPA insurance, please get in touch for any enquiries.
Having lived in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Manchester, and Glasgow, I gained unique cultural experiences and understood the struggle to fit in. Now, finding peace within my authentic self, I can empathise deeply with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, anxiety and self-doubt. I will treat your experience and opinions with respect, compassion and honesty because I want you to feel safe to talk openly in therapy. I intend to work with you as a team to fully understand how you respond to what happened. When you feel fully understood, a weight is lifted, and you will be more able to reflect and move forward.
