I have a particular interest in Trauma,PTSD,Fear and Addictions and its connection with Anxiety and Depression and work to help you find the solutions to reduce the impact this has on your life.
You can feel very alone when you are experiencing difficulties and uncertainty in your life, when your thoughts and emotions overwhelm you and a way forward feels hard to see. Counselling can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions, to help you better understand what you are feeling, allowing you the knowledge to find greater self awareness and safety within yourself. This provides you opportunities to have the space and choice in your life to find your own way forward to facilitate your potential for change, growth and personal fulfilment to create lasting positive changes in your life.

I support issues such as anxiety, addictions, self-harming and Trauma, Depression, Parenting Concerns, Relationship Conflicts, gender and sexuality, and Self-Esteem….
Sometimes we experience changes or traumas that leave us struggling with the pressures of life, relationships, work, or studies. This can affect our self-esteem, our sense of identity, and our ability to cope. This can become overwhelming and may lead us to unhelpful or harmful thoughts and behaviours. With help, we can overcome our difficulties and learn to manage our emotions more effectively. With compassion, empathy, respect, and a safe space, we feel heard, considered, and valued. By understanding our thoughts and behaviours we can feel empowered to make positive changes that can lead us to fuller and more enjoyable lives.

I believe mental health is just as important as physical health, the two are intricately bound together. In a non-judgemental, warm and supportive environment, I will help you to understand where the problems you are experiencing have arisen. We will work out why they have become so problematic and hard to deal with. I will help you to find strategies to cope better and tools to help you unpick patterns and to move on in your life, feel stronger and more content. As with any problem, the sooner it is acknowledged, the sooner you can begin your recovery. This is true of emotional and physical issues, as well as practical.

Hello, I'm Phil. I firmly believe that therapy can be transformative, providing a unique opportunity to explore our past experiences and understand how they influence our present. This viewpoint has been shaped by my experiences as both a therapist and a client. The therapeutic relationships I cultivate with people create a safe and empowering environment for them to examine and make sense of their connections with others and the world around them.

At the heart of my approach is a non-judgemental curiosity about your experience, both inside and outside the therapy room. Together, we can explore your inner world, including the parts that are difficult to face. My role is to help this process unfold at a pace that feels right for you. While this work can be challenging, it can also meaningfully open up new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I specialise in working with people affected by anxiety, depression and various behavioural issues such as addiction.
If you’re here, you might be feeling that gap between the life you’re living and the life you want. You’re not alone in this, and together, we can work to close that distance. The goal is to help you explore what’s been holding you back and to uncover the strengths and values that can guide you forward. Facing what’s uncertain can be daunting. It’s natural to want to avoid the things that bring discomfort or fear. But often, it’s in facing these challenges, side by side, that we discover our resilience.

I have many years of experience working with people who are suffering from the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) including addiction issues, abuse, neglect, violence, suicide of family member, bullying and trauma.
My way of working combines the skills and theories of my CBT training with the more Psychodynamic and Relational approaches of my Couples Counsellor training. Unhelpful thinking and behaviours can trap us in nasty vortexes of depression, anxiety and addiction. I can support you to become more aware of these processes and make positive changes.

It is a courageous step to reach out to a therapist and, in recognition of this, I have wholeheartedly devoted over 30 years of my life to helping people create real and lasting change. I have completed a vast amount of psychological training and am guided by extensive experience in really hearing the parts of my clients’ experience which are keeping them ‘stuck’ or are barriers to happiness. I help people to understand crucial scientific findings about how the brain affects our happiness and I use the most effective techniques to help clients become liberated from unhelpful repetitive behaviours or thought patterns.
