Counselling in SW9
Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or seeking a new way of looking at things, your reason for coming to therapy is unique to you. I aim to work collaboratively with you to discover meaning of current distress or patterns of behaviour which you may be finding difficult, through its association with past relationships and experiences. My goal is to help you feel like a more confident, authentic version of yourself who will be better equipped to deal with difficult feelings in the future.

Hello, I'm Tony and I'm an integrative therapist originally from Yorkshire. I pride myself on my warm, present and calm nature.

We all need someone to talk to sometimes. Whether you are feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, therapy offers a confidential and supportive space away from the demands of everyday life. My priority as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgemental environment where clients not only feel heard but also empowered to better understand their own experiences and take control of their lives. Rather than offering advice, I focus on fostering autonomy - helping you access your own inner strength and trust in your abilities. My role is to guide you in untangling the emotional knots that may be holding you back.

Relationships can provide us with support and also lead to stress, conflict and misunderstandings. That's why they're at the centre of systemic psychotherapy. I meet with people to think about the changes they want to see within significant relationships in their lives. It’s important that you come to therapy feeling confident that you won’t be judged and that your strengths will be recognised. My role is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic space, where people can explore their worries and problems, and find ways to move forward with their lives. I'll sometimes discuss strategies that others have found helpful.

Coping isn't the same as being okay. Therapy would begin with an initial meeting and a chance to talk about what brings you here, and to see whether working together feels right.
I offer a place to speak freely about what has happened, and to consider what might still be possible. Your privacy is protected, as is your ability to think openly and honestly. There's nothing to prepare in advance, and no obligation beyond that conversation. You can expect reliable weekly appointments on Saturday in Brixton. You do not need to have made a decision up front if you would like to work on a focussed short term or longer term basis.

I support my clients in their search for meaning, and often see how unravelling the knots in relationships, tending grief, and exploring suffering can lead to a sense of purpose. I often witness how therapeutic change can be initiated through nurturing connections with embodied parts of lived experiences. An important piece in the process is attuning to the messages from within, and I support the process of listening.
My work is trauma informed, and seeking understanding of how the body holds, or ‘keeps the score’ (B. Van Der Kolk), is something we can look at together.

You might not be in crisis, but something feels off-centre. Life may look fine on the surface, yet internally things feel unsettled, or harder to carry than before. You may notice familiar patterns showing up in relationships, in how you speak to yourself, or in moments where you feel stuck or disconnected. Perhaps you’re navigating shame or self-criticism, questions of identity or belonging, anxiety, low mood, or a life transition that has stirred more than expected. You may not have the words yet, but just a sense that it’s time to pause and pay attention.

I am understanding of different cultures, beliefs, and values. I feel race and sexuality in therapy is something that is important. I have studied and developed my tools in working with clients from the Global Majority and LGBTQ+ communities. I have over 6 years experience of working with drugs and alcohol in a unique yet successful approach.

My clients often come to therapy after noticing a lack of motivation or feeling disconnected. They may feel overwhelmed by daily pressures, weighed down by anxiety, depression, or trauma, or left questioning their sense of self. Many describe feeling misunderstood, not fitting in, or never feeling “good enough.”
I work with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism and AuDHD, diagnosed or exploring), and those navigating questions about identity, relationships, or sexuality. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can process your past, understand yourself more deeply, and move through life with greater confidence and ease.

I aim to create a secure and empathetic space for individuals and couples to explore and overcome their emotional challenges.

I work to foster an environment where clients feel empowered to engage in deep self-exploration and implement practical strategies that promote personal growth, enhance relationships, and lead to lasting psychological well-being.

I work with people who feel stuck and want to create more movement in their life. Movement is the capacity to change. We are most alive when we are moving forward. It’s from this place that we can adapt, feel better and live with more creativity and impact. As a psychotherapist I support you to create the movement you need and bring about change in you life. This can include the processing of a difficult life event such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic experience.

Life’s journey can sometimes take us down daunting and confusing paths. Anxiety/anger, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and other psychological problems can make it hard for us to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. Relationship problems can cause us to lose touch with ourselves. Struggles in our careers can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfilment. Identity issues can cause us to become socially isolated, engage in risky behaviours, or have trouble expressing ourselves. These and other painful experiences prevent us from fully living. But adversity can be a powerful catalyst for transformation and growth.

You may be feeling stuck, or sense that you are repeating unhelpful patterns, or struggling with aspects of your life and don’t know why. Perhaps you are dealing with loss, or navigating one of life's transitions and feeling overwhelmed.
I will work with whatever you bring. I have experience with anxiety, depression, sexuality, chronic health conditions, addiction, perinatal mental health, relationship issues and work-related difficulties. I have a particular interest in trauma and the impact of our early experiences - how they shape our ways of being in the world and relationships.

Life’s challenges can sometimes weigh us down and stop us from being healthy, happy, and successful. Emotional issues such as addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, do not just make us feel bad, but they also jeopardize our futures. Furthermore, problems with families, friends, domestic partners, or spouses can leave us feeling distressed, lonely, and unworthy. Additionally, serious health conditions, financial troubles, loss of loved ones, and other crises can devastate us and make it difficult to get back on track.

I am fascinated by how psychotherapy can transform our lives. I learn anew from each client and focus on any issue they bring. I have particular expertise in working with the ever-shifting landscape of sexuality, gender, identity and orientation. I am published worldwide on these issues. I have worked for decades in a multicultural area and also in projects based around women's issues and class.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
