I have extensive experience working with adults, and young people in a wide range of multi cultural settings for over 15 years, supporting traumatised adults in charity organisations. This includes, but is not limited to working the impact of trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional and psychological issues, childhood abuse, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Sometimes, we need safe, confidential space to explore to understand our difficult issues in order to fulfilled our lives goals and hapiness. Whatever those life difficulties may feel, I can support you to achieve your ambitions.

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor providing general counselling for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks and low self-esteem. I also offer specialist support for those struggling with grief and loss following a bereavement. Whether you are struggling with a particular issue or generally feeling unhappy in your life, I can help you explore any limiting beliefs or difficult life experiences that may be holding you back. I offer both short and long term / open-ended therapy and provide a safe, caring and confidential space to talk.

Are you in a space where you feel overwhelmed, stressed or depressed? Do you feel stuck and unsatisfied with your life or your relationship? Do you struggle managing your emotions or controlling your behaviour? Is work taking over your life? Or maybe you feel the need to make a change in your life? Take action and let's talk. Sometimes we need a little help to improve and advance on to the next step in our lives. No matter how those steps may feel I can support you to achieve your goals.

I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and have been in Clinical Practice since 2002. I am down to earth and friendly and passionate that therapy is a collaborative process - my job is to enable clients to find their own individual, specific answers to their problems. No one type of therapy suits everyone so I deliberately integrate a number of approaches into my work to suit each individual's needs and based on recommended clinical evidence. I offer in person and online therapy (using Skype, Facetime & Whatsapp).

I offer a creative, compassionate and reaserch backed approach to online counselling and psychotherapy. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure of your next steps, perhaps there is something that is not allowing you to live your life fully. Together, we can create a space for you to focus on what matters, explore both your difficulties and aspirations. This can be an entry point to living life with more meaning, more joy and connection with yourself and others.

My specialism is relationship and sex therapy for couples and individuals. Every relationship has a challenge, but if you feel that the problem has persisted for too long and causes a lot distress for you, do contact me and we can have a conversation about the type of counselling that will suit your needs. I also work with individuals who and trying get over break up or having difficulties in forming or ending relationships. I offer an empathetic, safe, and professional environment within which we can work together to facilitate the potential for change in the relationship, and work towards sexual health, happiness and well-being.

I understand it is sometimes hard to make the step towards having therapy. If you are at a point in your life where you need support or guidance in bringing about change, I offer a non judgemental, confidential, compassionate and warm space. Through working together to resolve difficult experiences in various ways, you will begin to see life from a different perspective. This will enable you to understand yourself better, gain more confidence and calm anxieties and depression. I keep up to date with various courses's and reading for continuing professional development. I also work with the Police Firearms Officers Association.

Challenging life transitions, difficulties in work, school, love or family relationships, anxiety, panic attacks or depression - these are some of the experiences people have come to me with and found our work helpful. Whether it is personal growth or a specific difficulty you want to work on, we can explore the options and arrangement that will work for you in our initial consultation. Taking the support of a therapist does not mean you are ill or dysfunctional, on the contrary, it means you have a healthy sense of what you might need.

Many of my clients have come to me for help with self-esteem, relationship problems, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, their relationship with alcohol, trauma, abuse, OCD, and other issues. I provide a confidential counselling where your experience will be heard. We can work together to find new perspectives for a better future.

Counselling offers a unique opportunity to freely express your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental space, which is confidential - this in itself is of value in a hectic lifestyle. I can help with General Anxiety disorder, self esteem, confidence, depression, relationship issues, self harm, or just feeling uncomfortable in yourself. I can help you to acknowledge and value yourself, feel that you are not alone, and support you in finding a way through a difficult time. The experience I have from working with my clients helps inform my therapeutic approach.

I am particularly interested in the areas of confidence building and self esteem for young people in their early twenties and thirties; young people who have big goals but sometimes get stuck because of issues from the past, perhaps bullying or family issues. I also work with clients suffering from PTSD who wish to be free of the debilitating symptoms that this can cause for themselves and their families.

As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, I believe in evidence-based psychological therapy including CBT and Mindfulness. My approach to the treatment is holistic with the integration of eastern and western approaches of mind. My sessions involve an in-depth assessment of the causative factors of your emotional problems to offer you a solution-oriented approach. I believe in empowering you and will share several healing techniques to heal yourself. I will discuss the line of treatment after your in-depth assessment. Therapy will be a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, hypnotherapy/NLP and Mind-Body Harmonics.

I specialize in working with clients experiencing low self-esteem, family of origin issues, childhood relational trauma, difficulties with assertiveness, exploration of sexual orientation, and existential concerns. I also work frequently with individuals who identify with the gifted, expat, and LGBTQ+ communities. Using an integrative approach tailored to the needs of each individual, I strive to help my clients understand and find practical ways to cope with their challenges. I primarily draw upon person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and solution-focused approaches to therapy in my work.

The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I am a down-to-earth, intelligent and non-judgmental integrative psychotherapist working with a range of issues. Ideally, therapy is a collaborative partnership and my style is active and empowering. I see you as the 'expert' in your life and myself as the 'expert' on therapeutic interventions. Together we focus on utilising your strengths and fostering insight and awareness in a safe and confidential environment. I love my work and look forward to helping you improve your mental health and wellbeing

For the past eighteen years I’ve worked as a psychotherapist in both the public and private sector. This means not only am I experienced in working with colleagues and clients from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds, I have also helped clients through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, trauma, abuse, bereavement, stress and low self-esteem.

Minds Connect is a project that I created to provide tailored mental health services to individuals, couples, and families who are struggling in aspects of their lives. I do this through integrative psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is for anyone who is interested in gaining a better understanding of who they are, where they come from, and why they are reacting, thinking, and feeling the way they are in the present moment. Psychotherapy promotes changes consistent with the goals that a person wants to achieve. It provides order to the chaos, facilitating the understanding of ideas and actions that were previously confusing.

Welcome, I am Steve. You may have come across my profile for one reason or many differing reasons, that is ok. So many people (myself included) go through rough times and feel that they need support ... that is what I am here for. It may be that there has been something niggling in the background for months or years; or it could be something that has happened in the past few days. It may seem like these are too great to overcome but with the right care and guidance these can be worked through.

Life can be difficult at times. We can feel depressed, anxious, stressed, worried or unable to cope. This can impact on all aspects of our lives; personal and professional. Sometimes all a client needs is someone to really listen to them and to accept what they are saying in a non-judgemental way. Therapy comes in all different shapes and sizes and I believe the mode of therapy should fit the client, we are all individuals after all. I put you, the client at the centre of the work and believe that together we can work collaboratively to help you mange your life more happily and successfully.

I am an accredited psychotherapist and qualified counsellor who works in the Bayswater and during the COVID lock down I am working on line and open for new clients. UKCP confirms that "This member has completed UKCP Covid-19 Online Working". I meet and talk with people who, maybe like you, want to change how they feel. There may be something specific that you are aware of (depression, anxiety, bereavement), but often the specifics of the difficulty might not be apparent, but the unhappiness is. My work with my clients is about surfacing what's going and helping clients process their feelings to reach a happier, more settled place.

More often than not, the roots of emotional problems go deeper than normal awareness can reach, and my role is to enable you to identify, and focus on, some of the destructive ways of relating to yourself and others that might leave you feeling depressed, anxious or alone. ​ Together, we will create a safe and creative environment, which will help you to explore the different aspects of yourself – some which harmoniously coexist, and others that are at odds with each other.
