Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Available for new clients
Hello, my name is John, and I’m a Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Coach.
My approach to therapy is warm, active, and engaged - I’m not the kind of therapist who simply sits silently and nods.

About me
I'm a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor. I have Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching. I'm a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
I have over 20 years experience of supporting people to transform their lives and fulfil their potential. Before working in private practice as a therapist I was a Director of the UK’s largest social care charities. I also worked as the manager of a drug and alcohol rehab for many years, a challenging role yet one the allowed support people on a journey of change and discovery.
My other passions in life are freediving and swimming in the sea. Freediving has given me the confidence to explore my personal limitations; it requires self-awareness, and the ability to remain calm and focussed when facing pressure. The connection with water and sea brings me joy, and enhances my life.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
I’m integrative therapist, blending together a number of psychotherapeutic models in my work - meaning I adapt my practice to your needs.
I work in an open ended way, so this means we finish working together when you feel ready. Generally, I offer weekly appointments at the same time each week, however I’m able to clients more frequently if they want.
I specialize in helping people navigate challenges such as addiction, trauma, and depression. I also have experience supporting clients with anxiety, relationship difficulties, and work-related stress, among other concerns.
That said, I see you as a whole person rather than just focusing on a specific issue. Often, these challenges are interconnected, and therapy is about exploring and understanding how the different parts of your life influence one another.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. Feeling comfortable and safe with your therapist is key to being open and getting the most out of the process.

Experience
I have over 20 years experience of supporting people to transform their lives and fulfil their potential.
Prior to working in private practice as a therapist I was a Director of a large health and social care charity. This organisation provides substance misuse, domestic abuse, homelessness and young person’s services to vulnerable clients across the South East of England.
Prior to this I was the manager of a drug and alcohol rehab for many years. This therapeutic service supported clients with a history of homelessness recover to from addiction in a safe and supportive environment. I was most proud that we not only supported vulnerable clients to make meaningful changes to their behaviour but we more importantly helped them flourish as people.
I started my career supporting people with complex needs (such as mental health difficulties, substance misuse issues, homelessness and abuse survivors) to re-integrate into society following involvement in the criminal justice system.
