Therapy and/or counselling is for anyone People come for therapy for all sorts of reasons, and in all sorts of states. And I meet all sorts of people in my consulting room. You don’t have to be ‘ill enough’ or ‘sane enough’ or ‘distressed enough’ to make use of therapy: you just have to want to come and talk… or even not talk, if that’s what you need to do.
We’re all unique … so when I see you, I work with you and not just your ‘issue’. Whilst it helps that I have worked with people who are bereaved, depressed, abused, directionless, stressed, divorced etc, each therapy is created afresh, tailor-made for you.
My top priority I have a number of aims when I meet someone for therapy, but top of the list is that during and after our first meeting you can say to yourself, ‘I think I can talk to this man’.
Expertise and Specialisms

I have not ticked any boxes in the above category on this page because I believe that the success of my approach depends not on the ‘diagnosis’ or ‘problem area’ and more on the capacity of the two of us to form a useful therapeutic relationship within which we can explore your difficulties, needs feelings etc. I have worked with many individuals over the last 20 years and each person is unique. If you have a question, just give me a ring, and I’ll answer honestly.
