Hi! I'm Owen, a humanistic & integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I work with a broad range of issues. However I also specialise in LGBTQ+ and Gender, Sexual &
Relationship
Diversities (GSRD) therapy. This means that I will provide full acceptance of who you are, regardless of how you identify. I view no person or issue as being more important than another. I see both of us working together as unique individuals. I've seen how life can throw many different challenges which can cause us to question our sense of self. Yet I also believe that such challenges can offer us opportunities to develop and grow - perhaps even flourish!

I believe that everyone has the capacity and the inner strength that can be utilized to a happier and more fulfilling life. I work with a humanistic- integrative approach that is based on a strong therapeutic
relationship
in which clients can feel heard and that they are not alone with their problems, and which approach allows me to tailor the therapeutic process to the client’s needs. Through my work I provide a safe, non-judgmental, empathic environment to anyone in which clients can gain a better understanding of their past and present, strengthen their identity and confidence, and plan/ work towards a more satisfying future.

relationship

Are you struggling in any specific area in your life? Are you generally unhappy, stressed and overwhelmed? Have you experienced loss or trauma and finding it difficult to cope? Are you struggling around your own sexuality or with your identity? Are there elements of your life that seem to be getting played out time and time again?

Healing deep emotional wounds requires a supportive therapeutic
relationship
, self-awareness, and acceptance.
My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

Many persons seek a trustworthy and professional
relationship
to unravel elevated stressors and adverse experiences that results in lowered self-esteem, creates shame, and stigma. Some persons initially struggle to articulate why they feel so stressed and they often report interpersonal conflict and defensiveness leading to aloneness and sadness. People want to be happier and want to lead more contented and joyful lives. People want to be recognised as worthy. They want their lives to possess meaningfulness. They seek purpose and want to be generative. They want to feel significant in other people's lives. They want to trust.

I offer one to one counselling and psychotherapy both in person and online and while working within a person centred modality I offer you the control within the therapeutic
relationship

I began my training journey into counselling more than 25 years ago but paused it to pursue a career in the emergency services. It is here I developed my compassion for working with the most vulnerable people. I have held people as they took their first breath and those who took their last. I have been present for people experiencing their worst day and I have offered them and their loved ones comfort and support in those moments. I recognise the strength of each individual in the therapy room and respect them as the expert in their own lives. I work with a wide range of concerns from stress and anxiety to grief and bereavement.

I work with people suffering from depression, anxiety, stress related issues, PTSD, trauma, phobias, and
relationship
problems.
The Human Givens approach is a gentle, solution-focused, brief therapy which helps individuals find a solution to get their emotional needs met by using the resources they already have. By working together with my clients we can find ways for them to feel better after just one session. I work holistically, using the latest research from Neuroscience, Wisdom traditions, relaxation techniques, guided imagery and the wonderful resources my client already has. Together we can set a goal for therapy and work towards meeting that goal by creating achievable tasks between sessions. The therapy sessions last between 75-90 minutes.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
