About me

I live in Castlethorpe, near Milton Keynes with my wife and family. I graduated from University with a BA Hons degree in Sociology. I then went on to train as a teacher and taught at a variety of different schools for 30 years, before retraining as a Counsellor.    Having experienced my own mental health challenges I found a way through these, using counselling.  The impact of the support I received was transformational and inspired me to help other people achieve their goals and peace of mind.    I also work with 'Little Miracles', a charity which supports families that have children with additional needs, disabilities and life limiting conditions. 

I am qualified to treat a wide variety of conditions and phobias, having been awarded the Certificate in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills (Cert Hyp CS),  Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory (Dip CST) and the Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Practice (PROF. DIP PSY C.)  

The capability and capacity of our subconscious mind fascinates me and it is the ability we all have to change which is most exciting to me.  

I am committed to helping and understanding each individual client and genuinely care about each person I work with, to ensure that they receive the best possible outcome and treatment available. I do this by providing a professional service and making sure that I am constantly up to date with the latest research into counselling and psychotherapy.   I look forward to meeting you!
