About Me
Based in Deddington, Oxfordshire, and Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, I am a Gestalt therapist offering safe, non-judgemental, and confidential counselling for people of all ages and backgrounds.
As a family man with a background in marketing, sales, business, and client support, I bring over 30 years of therapeutic experience. I’ve worked with individuals privately and in various settings, including the corporate sector, charities, and voluntary groups, such as providing support for the mental health charity, Mind.
I provide you with a space to be heard as yourself. I am not here to judge but to listen to and understand with you.

What is Gestalt Therapy?
In addition to offering you focused listening and skilled reflective counselling, I use Gestalt therapy as my foundation. Gestalt has provided me with a wealth of techniques to draw from, to help you.
Gestalt focuses on how you are here and now; the importance of self-awareness and trusting in your feelings and experiences in order to facilitate change. It can help you gain insight, make positive changes and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.
