I Colin explained the boundaries of our sessions well, making me feel comfortable to advise you if anything wasn’t working for me. He explained clearly his style of counselling and welcomed feedback. I felt so validated in my feelings whilst he was also able to challenge my views on things and make me see things differently. I'm certain his advice and support provided over our 7 sessions together massively helped me on my journey and I really appreciate him. I am happy I took the steps to better my mental health and would 100% recommend Colin. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being a Counsellor and Psychotherapist is more than a job to me, it is a something that I chose to do later in life and take great satisfaction to be in a position where I can make a difference.
It is so gratifying to be in a position to play a part in improving an individual's emotional and mental health.
To play a part and help someone change from sadness and despair to a place of reduced anxiety and improved self esteem is very rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Many years ago I lost a great friend to suicide and on that day my life changed forever, along with those of his family and loved one.
After his passing I wanted to gain a better understanding of how poor mental health can have such a dreadful impact on someone and looked for answers.
This led me to become a volunteer with The Samaritans and started me on my path to becoming a Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
Why should our clients choose you?
Prior to agreeing to take on a new client I offer a free phone consultation (30 minutes).
This is to help ensure that I am the right counsellor for you, and also to answer any questions you may have and gain an insight into your concerns.
As an older Counsellor I also bring many years of life experience to my therapeutic practice, which I believe enhances the counselling relationship, and this experience has proven to be invaluable in my practice.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I am available for online counselling through Zoom or Skype
