My Approach

My style is creative and relational which means I'm interested in discovering what your relationship is like with yourself, others and your world, what you might want help with around this. Clients often come to me because they have aspects about their life and relationships that they would like to understand better and feel better about. Together we explore what's causing anxiety and where life feels stuck or blocked. How would you really like to experience your life and your relationships and what might be blocking this?

Over the years I have created tried and tested methods for working with - anxiety, self-doubt, fear, stress and worry. Other effective methods include how to work with the inner child and the heart.

What recent clients have said;

“Therapy with Neil has helped me find some order during a very chaotic and difficult period in my life. Simply saying the words helped shine some light but the real benefit for me was putting structure to my thoughts and feelings. Being in an environment without an agenda and without judgment helped me better understand myself.” May 2021.  

“Therapy has been transformative really. Working through the grief of losing family in the way that I did was essential for me to be able to move on. Also, learning to embrace being creative - it was almost the birth of a new life and I used this to work through these difficult issues. It was great to have you as a guide and confidant through these difficult times. It didn’t feel like therapy as I had been expecting as there were no definite answers or firm directions from you. Instead, the focus on creativity made everything much more tangible for me.” July 2023

What a recent client said;

“Neil’s helped me understand so much about myself, particularly how my family set up and past experiences have shaped the person I am and how I’ve been feeling about myself. He’s helped me challenge my own beliefs resulting in a transformation in my self-esteem. I’m the most confident version of myself to date and for the first time in my life I really like the person I am.” June 2024
