By coming here you've taken the first step and I know it's not easy. There are many reasons why you might have started looking for counselling. Sometimes we can feel uncomfortable but don't understand it or struggle to describe it, life can become overwhelming, or we are confused, and we don't know which way to turn. Perhaps you are facing life changes or decisions and don't know which path to take.

My experience over the past 15 years has focused on working with children and young people. Specific areas of expertise are Safeguarding, SEN, substance misuse, creative therapies.

Try as we might, life is not always easy & there may be times when we need additional support. Whether you are looking to work through a particular concern, or feel that you would benefit from a confidential, and non-judgemental space where you are free to vent and debrief, I am wholeheartedly here for you. I work with couples to address areas such as communication, conflict, betrayal, trust, & desire, as well as with adults to work through symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, & self-criticism. Complimentary consultations offered to all who are interested in engaging.

I am a warm, friendly, non-judgemental, professional counsellor who is experienced at helping you achieve your goals for seeking counselling. I am an integrative counsellor, who uses CBT, person centred, psychodynamic, and gestalt counselling, modalities. This allows me to work uniquely inflexibly with you to help resolve any issues or gain perspective.

I work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework which insures a high standard of quality counselling. You will be listened to and accepted.

We all have troubling problems at times, be they emotional, personal or work-related. Sometimes these problems can feel overwhelming and we become stressed, anxious and unhappy. This can affect our confidence handling relationships, making decisions and generally, our ability to just cope with the pressures that each day brings. Reaching out to an experienced therapist will enable you to talk openly about your concerns and be listened to without being judged. For many people, this is a profound way of bringing about positive and lasting change.

Thank you for considering my services. I understand you may be reading this because you're currently facing a challenging time or perhaps dealing with an ongoing difficulty. Whatever your situation may be, I welcome you. Each person who seeks my help brings their unique experiences and concerns. As we work together, we will develop a working relationship that recognises your qualities and responds to your present needs. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic, racial, sexual, and gender identities and different social and cultural backgrounds. I offer a caring space where you can explore all your feelings.

Psychotherapy and Coaching are many things. Sometimes it's about coping strategies and supporting my clients through a tough time or loss, others want to change something about how they feel, think or behave, many looking to be free themselves of the past whilst some aren't sure exactly what they need, they simply feel the struggle to be happy in their life or relationships. There really is nothing too small or too big to ask for help with. You'll find I'm patient and calm by nature, have a compassionate and mature approach to helping, intuitively sense some things are really tough to talk about and whilst I will help you with ideas and tools to reduce symptoms and which can also speed up meaningful change between sessions, note: you will get to direct, manage your own destiny. I have always seen my role as supporting and guiding my clients through psychotherapy, enabling you to see for yourself and understand how your difficulties keeps you stuck and with my help how to overcome them. My aim is always for my clients to be able to leave feeling confident in knowing how to maintain their own well being long term.

Hi, I'm Steve and I specialise in male-related issues and couples, be that; work stress, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, bereavement/loss or just struggling to understand where someone is in life. I welcome your inquiry.

I believe that not a single person will live a lifetime without feeling stressed, anxious or low at some point in their life. Life can throw many challenges and during these times it can difficult to see a way out or that things will get better. Sometimes we experience these difficulties a number of times, or for a long period of time. However your difficulties present right now, it is important to know that support is available and that change can happen. You can use the therapy to develop your sense of self again, look towards the future and deal with life's stressors (relationships, work, friendships, health, career) better.

Modern day life can leave us feeling anxious and stressed, helpless, sad and lacking in a sense of direction and purpose. Life is rarely straight forward and at times we can all feel lost and overwhelmed. We are constantly being presented with change and challenges. You may think your problem is too small but if it is important to you that is all that matters. I offer an initial free phone call lasting about 30 minutes before any counselling takes place which gives you the chance to get a feel of whether you would be comfortable working with me and for me to ascertain whether I may be of help.

If you find yourself struggling to cope or make sense of an emotional difficulty please give me a call to discuss how I might best support you. It can sometimes be hard to reach out for help but I often find once the initial contact has been made clients often comment they wish they had acted sooner.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

If you always seem to be in unhappy relationships; suffer from anxiety or depression; feel angry all the time; are struggling with addictive behaviors; feel in constant emotional pain; or feel like no-one really listens to you properly or notices what you are going through; then I can offer you the time and space to be seen and heard, and start to work through what you are facing.

Therapy can be different things to different people; it can be about focusing on changing a specific behaviour, learning to manage emotions or wanting a space to explore experiences, get understanding and make meaning. It can be all of these things or something completely different. My strength is in the less directive, exploration work; helping clients to understand their world and why they feel, think, behave the ways that they do. With this insight, I can help you to find ways to change old patterns and move forwards in a direction towards the life you want to live.

I believe that for someone to get the most out of therapy they need to be able to trust their counsellor. This is why I make it my absolute priority to provide a warm, confidential and safe space for my clients to feel like they can share anything with me and never be met with any judgement.

I offer supportive counselling and psychotherapy to adults and young people from age 16. I work with common emotional wellbeing issues such as anxiety and depression and more complex mental health issues. My experience covers the impact of negative childhood experiences, relationship breakdowns, trauma and loss. I provide a private space to reflect, make sense of experiences, to be heard not judged and tools to help you feel calmer, cope better and make changes. My safe supportive approach enables exploration of your needs so you can begin to feel understood and more confident and resourceful in moving forward.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.
