You will find an attuned, compassionate, therapeutic environment, where there is warmth, empathy, an active interest in your needs and strengths, as well as acceptance of, all of your experiences. I seek to provide containment for pain and distress that you may be going through so that you feel safe to open up and explore options for your complex life challenges.

Are you noticing and experiencing feelings of worry, and unable to shake it off? Are you increasingly tearful, sad, with low mood, low appetite, experiencing disturbed sleep/lack of a good quality sleep, nightmares, and tiredness? Feeling like something bad is going to happen? If so, do not be alone in your feelings, let's talk about it.

This service offers psychological assessment and therapy for children, young people and adults. We currently have availability to see adult clients only. People seek help for a range of reasons including anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, low self esteem or distress following traumatic events. A comprehensive assessment is always undertaken as a first step. This ensures clients have a good understanding of the process of therapy and can discuss in advance what approaches might be most useful for them. ​ I draw on a range of evidence based approaches including EMDR, CBT and systemic practice.

Psychotherapy is a very personal journey that will be unique to you. Are there changes that you would like to make in your life and your relationships? Are you wondering how you can make sense of the patterns that keep repeating in your life despite your best efforts?

It isn’t easy being the cycle breaker. Have you ever heard that you are ‘too sensitive’ or felt that your feelings are ‘too much’? Have you ever felt like you are the only one willing to acknowledge what makes everyone else put their heads in the sand? In your family, there may have been abuse, a lack of acceptance for who you are, or even just no space for talking about emotions. There may be historic traumas no one will talk about or patterns that go unacknowledged, and you are left holding the ball on everyone’s behalf. You may experience feelings of perfectionism, disconnection, or guilt about resting or caring for yourself.

I am an experienced therapist and have worked in the NHS for 10 years, initially qualifying as an Occupational Therapist and more recently as a family and systemic psychotherapy enabling me to offer a broader psychotherapeutic service to individuals, couples or families who might be seeking a safe space to explore particular themes or dilemmas they are facing. I have experience working across the life span and have specialised in working with children and families over the past 5 years. Prior to this I worked with adults with complex trauma. I offer an inclusive space which is sensitive to your needs.

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor. My primary training is in the Psychodynamic model and this is the basis of my work. I do adapt my style to meet the highly individual needs of each client. I aim to offer a safe and confidential space for clients to explore what has made life slip out of gear.

When you contact me initially I will walk you through some of the options and if we decide to work together I will meet you (or you and your family/significant people in your life) ‘where you are’ in life. We may decide to focus on getting a better understanding of the ways that your early experiences have influenced the ways you perceive the world and relate to people around you. We may focus purely on the present and your goals for the future. Based on your circumstances we may decide to do some time limited or long term therapy.

Hi, I'm Craig, a psychotherapist. I provide warm, down-to-earth therapy and have worked with people from all walks of life, in both private practice and charity settings. You may have a specific issue affecting your life, or a vague sense of not feeling right, but want to understand yourself more deeply. As a therapist, my role is not to give advice, but to support you at your pace, in the way that’s best for you. We can talk about anything, I won’t judge you, but I can bring knowledge and experience to help you find your best way through your struggles. Because life is short & struggling emotionally can get in the way of so much.

Are you suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, felling generally low, or facing challenges that are preventing you from moving forward and leading a full and happy life? At times life can be very difficult leaving you feeling confused, unhappy, unheard, and restricting you from leading the life you want. Counselling can be the first step towards change, regaining a sense of control in your life, and a better, more positive future for you. I work around a wide variety of issues, problems and complex situations providing you with support, empathy and a space for you to share your concerns.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

Sometimes we struggle with things in our lives that we don't feel we can (or want to) talk to those closest to us about. Sometimes we feel lost, ashamed or want to gain more insight into something. This is where seeing a therapist can help you.

I provide counselling and therapy for individuals and couples on an open-ended basis, with the aim of enabling you to find the inner resources to enhance your life and to live it more fully. I offer a soulful perspective in a safe space where hopefully you will feel comfortable to talk, in particularly about things that may have been difficult to express until now, without any fear of judgement. People have sough my help in the past for a wide variety of reasons, including: feeling depressed, flat, anxious, isolated, panic attacks. Relationships issues. Bereavement, including the loss of a child. Feelings related to trauma, etc.

I have been a counsellor/therapist for the last 18 years. I love my work and I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space so that we can work through difficult and sometimes traumatic experiences. My counselling style is varied as it is very much dependent on the individuals or couples needs and concerns. I have felt honoured to work with those who have been my clients. It is a privilege that I don’t take lightly. Meet with me for an introductory consultation and we can discover the best ways to help make the changes needed to help you on your journey.
