I am an integrative psychotherapist with a basis in person centred therapy and Jungian psychology. Currently I have over three years of experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of issues including historical trauma, abuse, anxiety, stress, depression and criminal rehabilitation.
Originally trained as a person-centred counsellor, and with further study in the field of Jungian psychology and psychodynamic therapy I aim to allow for my clients to be empowered while still maintaining varying levels of structure to best suit the individual needs of each client.
I strive to foster a judgement free environment with a focus on empathy and understanding of the emotional and mental significance of the clients experiences. While I employ many methods of interaction the underlying goal is to form a meaningful relationship unique to the client. As such there is no right or wrong in the development of sessions as the goal is to find what best works for you.
One of the most difficult things can be reaching out for help when we most need it, it can feel overwhelming and at times scary but you've already taken the first step which for many is the hardest. I look forward to being there to help you along your journey into a happier and more fulfilled future.

Guy is a great therapist, respectful and encouraging, allowing you to open at your own pace and asks questions which positively challenges your thought processes.
Engaging intelligent philosophies, with a non judgemental understanding. I find guy very relatable and easy to talk to.
Thank you Guy

Good lad, definitely understands my needs. I feel good talking about things that I don't get to discuss with people in my every day life

Have had a lot of struggle with therapists/going to therapy in the past but Guy has been amazing. He gives in depth responses but is not always overly serious so I feel way more comfortable talking to him. I’ve definitely seen an improvement within my life now that I have him as a therapist :)
