As well as being an associate psychotherapist for The Priory I have provided therapy through a domestic abuse agency, specialist employee assistance programmes (EAP) for professional adults and a digital counselling service for children and young people. I have also worked with the long-term unemployed via the Department for Work and Pensions, helping to prove the success of talk therapy to the UK government.

Oliver is a consummate professional, highly empathetic, a great listener and easy to open up to. He offers different perspectives on situations, tools and ideas to try to put into practice, and is supportive when patients take steps towards lasting change. I cannot recommend him enough.

Very insightful, much more confident in pulling me up and analysing what I’ve said. I feel he’s helped me find the root cause of different difficult aspects in my life. He’s the third therapist I’ve had, over the space of a few years, and definitely the best.
