Therapy with Greg
Psychotherapist, MSc, MBACP
Verified
I believe wholeheartedly in the effectiveness of talk therapy. The science behind the brain chemistry of the human brain and how it affects our behaviours is noteworthy and interesting. However, it is only part of the story. The use of anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs in more severe cases, can help some people but these chemical interventions treat only the symptoms of depression, anxiety and feeling sad. My way of working together with you goes straight to the source. I validate every part of your experience of being human including body chemistry, behaviours, social dynamics, and if applicable, your spiritual dimension.

Jan Jones
Counsellor, MBACP

As an experienced counsellor, I like to be flexible to my clients needs. Life can be so challenging at times; this is where I can join you in our sessions and seek to understand where you feel you are emotionally, and help you to process the past and re reorientate yourself and get firmly grounded in order to negotiate your next phase of your life. I realise as human beings we often get stuck in patterns of behaviours or feelings which can prevent us from moving on. Exploring these stuck places in the safety of a counselling session can often be the key that can unlock and free us up for new beginnings.
