Person-centred therapy can help you move past depression, sadness, and low self-esteem that can leave you feeling small and weak, unmotivated and powerless to regain control of your life.
Many people have found it very helpful to talk with someone who can help you understand in your own way what you are going through, and help you find new perspectives so that you feel confident again.
I can help you to make sense of the difficulties that you are going through, in your own terms, and find the solutions that are right for you. The person-centred approach to therapy, counselling and coaching is based on the idea that the capacity to find the right questions and answers lie in you. I will help you find the answers that are right for you.
My role as therapist is to provide the environment that helps you to gain the insights and confidence that you need to grow as a person. You will not be patronised, because you are the best expert on you.

“Having always been skeptical of therapy and having been concerned that if I signed up for therapy I would be merely analysed and judged, talking to Tim over several months proved that nothing could be further from the truth.
He allows you to talk and realise things by yourself, as well as asking, at the opportune moment of the conversation, the right questions that deepen that realisation. I found his imaginative painting of various life scenarios, whatever they might be, very helpful in visualising in simpler, unadorned terms where the issues lie, which is what I needed.
His emphasis on feeling rather than thinking through life is something that I slowly learned to appreciate. I heartily recommend Tim to anyone who wishes to regain control over their thoughts and reconnect with their present living existence.”
The person-centred approach is very different to other therapies. We’ll be having a real conversation, but as equals, with gentleness and respect for your self-determination.
We will focus on whatever is most important to you at that moment, feeling our way forward together. Bring words or bring silence, its all ok. We can start anywhere.
Person-centred therapy is difficult and requires skill. Many therapists and counsellors claim to work in a person-centred way but may not be suitably trained. Choose your therapist carefully.
