About me

My name is Ian I have over 26 years of counselling experience, I am a BACP Accredited counsellor and counselling supervisor offering a dynamic, compassionate, and confidential space for individuals, couples, and young people to explore and overcome life's challenges.
My approach is integrative and flexible, combining person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness-based practices. This allows me to adapt each session to suit your unique needs, ensuring therapy feels relevant, supportive, and empowering.
I believe that meaningful change happens through collaboration. Together, we will build a deeper understanding of your experiences, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking to make lasting changes, I offer both short- and long-term therapeutic work tailored to your goals.
I have a particular passion for working with trauma, loss, and attachment difficulties. I also specialise in supporting individuals and families altered by adoption, helping to strengthen relationships, process complex emotions, and foster emotional wellbeing. Recently I have worked with fathers groups on themes around emotional regulation, becoming aware of personal triggers, anger and frustration.
My aim is to provide a calm, thoughtful, and non-judgemental environment where you feel truly heard and supported�so you can begin to heal, grow, and create meaningful change in your life.
