My Services

I help all sorts of people with all sorts of conditions

My services are person-centred psychotherapy / counselling / coaching.

Unlike other types of therapy, person-centred therapy is not medical: it does not require a diagnosis. I can work with whatever you bring.

I work every day with people who have received a medical diagnosis such as those listed below, and many who do not have a medical diagnosis.

Because my services are non-directive, my approach will not interfere with any directive therapy that you might be doing (e.g. CBT or psychodynamic therapies). So you can do both if you wish.

I won’t talk ‘at’ you, like a doctor might, and I won’t expect you to do all the talking, like some counsellors might. We’ll be having a real conservation.

Here's how I can help:

Anxiety, stress, panic, phobias, OCD

Depression, sadness, low-self-esteem

Trauma, PTSD

Executive coaching

Bereavement, Loss, Grief

Addictions & substance abuse

Adult ADHD (and ADHD coaching)

Couples, colleagues & other duos

Dissociation & psychosis

Personality disorders

Men's stuff

We can meet online, at my clinic, or outdoors

“Tim helped me to start to make sense of the things I had been through. Just to have that acceptance from him, and to know that I would not be judged for whatever I said was an immense help to me.”

You've made it this far, now you need to be patient

Sometimes therapy / counselling / coaching works wonders right away. But this is rare, so please don’t assume it will apply with you.

Every client is different, but the general advice for all kinds of therapy is to give it 3-4 sessions to get a feel for the quality of the relationship with your therapist. Do you feel at ease with him/her? Are you confident you can go deeper with him/her?

And then you will need to give it another 3-4 sessions before deciding whether or not we are making enough progress. Many people get what they need in fewer than 10 sessions, and many find value in continuing beyond that.

No ethical therapist will try to get as many sessions as possible from you, and I will let you know if I do not feel able to help you move forward. I will check in with you regularly to see how things are going. Feel free at any time to mention any concerns you might have with progress.

With person-centred therapy it is you who decides how well things are going. You are in control at all times.

Person-centred / non-directive coaching for executives

Perhaps you don’t need counselling or therapy but you do feel stuck in life. You know you’re not yet living up to your potential, and you don’t always feel like the authentic version of you.

You want to do better, not get well.

Most coaches want to tell you what to do. But what if the best answers can come from you? I can help facilitate this.

Encounter groups

I also facilitate encounter groups, both online and face-to-face. These are a way to meet each other at a depth not available in our day-to-day interactions.

Encounter groups are highly therapeutic and are powerful mechanisms for personal development.

Insurance and employee assistance progammes

The therapy that is as individual as you are.

Please note:

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.
