My Approach

My style is Integrative and Transpersonal. Clients often come to me because they have lost meaning and purpose in their life and relationships. Together we explore what's causing anxiety and where life feels stuck or blocked. How would you really like to experience your life and your relationships and what is in the way of this?

Over the years I have created tried and tested methods for working with - anxiety, self-doubt, fear, stress and worry. Other effective methods include how to work with the inner child, which is very transformative.

What recent clients have said;

“Therapy with Neil has helped me find some order during a very chaotic and difficult period in my life. Simply saying the words helped shine some light but the real benefit for me was putting structure to my thoughts and feelings. Being in an environment without an agenda and without judgment helped me better understand myself.” May 2021.  

“Therapy has been transformative really. Working through the grief of losing family in the way that I did was essential for me to be able to move on. Also, learning to embrace being creative - it was almost the birth of a new life and I used this to work through these difficult issues. It was great to have you as a guide and confidant through these difficult times. It didn’t feel like therapy as I had been expecting as there were no definite answers or firm directions from you. Instead, the focus on creativity made everything much more tangible for me.” July 2023

What a recent client said;

“Neil’s helped me understand so much about myself, particularly how my family set up and past experiences have shaped the person I am and how I’ve been feeling about myself. He’s helped me challenge my own beliefs resulting in a transformation in my self-esteem. I’m the most confident version of myself to date and for the first time in my life I really like the person I am.” June 2024

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I have worked with anxiety intensively over several decades as a result of dealing with and overcoming my own experiences of anxiety, self-doubt and fear. In my practice I work with generalised anxiety, social anxiety, insomnia, stress, worry, low self-esteem, work pressure, anxiety about the future, existential despair, aging and trauma. Anxiety, as I see it, is just information and points to the deeper difficulties that often result in feelings of powerlessness, vulnerability and withdrawal. In therapy we discuss your specific experiences of anxiety and together explore how best to understand what is going on and how to develop inner resilience and coping strategies. The aim of this is in order for you to feel more free and at ease within yourself, your life and relationships.
When your life feels very stuck, heavy and dark talking things through with someone can bring about some light and ease. Sometimes my work around depression involves understanding feelings of lack and the loss of meaning and purpose. Also, how to enable new energy and motivation when life may feel flat, full of despair and hopelessness. It may take some time but I know it is possible to move on, feel better and recover your life and your self.
This may include couples work - both same sex, poly and heterosexual. Often my work explores relationships between family members, repeating patterns and roles that may have been taken on that no longer serve. I help you understand what your own blueprint of 'what love looks like' is, where this comes from and how aspects of it can be redesigned. I also explore abusive and neglectful relationships. It may also be a case of looking at loneliness and isolation as well as sex and sexuality. Much of my work with clients involves helping them to find new ways to communicate, which is particularly helpful for couples who are stuck in conflict but also for individuals who may struggle to assert themselves or ask for what they need.
Much of my work is with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. Often our work together is around finding confidence and self-belief beyond trauma and shame and towards inner truths of strength, beauty, exuberance, creativity, security, peace and joy. We also explore new models of relationships and sexuality.
I help clients explore the differences between head, heart and gut using the imagination in order to explore and create your own navigational system which can work alongside other practices such as meditation. I have over 30 years experience exploring this field.
