Counselling is not just about restoring mental health; it should also provide you with the tools to cope with whatever life throws at you in the future—building your mental fitness.
Gone are the days when we just looked at the past and helped you resolve a trauma; now, we should look to the future, building on our strengths and developing the ones we don’t.
Fun is not just about socialising; it’s a potent catalyst for emotional and intellectual growth, with benefits for your personal life and career development.
By blending the best practices of counselling, online counselling, and mentoring, we work together to help you understand what is happening and, importantly, find a solution that fits your situation and works for you.

Traditional style counselling, where we meet online weekly and work together to restore your mental health

Some people need intensive therapy to recover from past traumas. A doctor often diagnoses these traumas, which can include conditions like depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
In these cases, a more traditional counselling approach may be more beneficial.
For most of my clients, our focus is on improving their mental well-being. They do not have significant mental health problems, regardless of what they are told, but instead, they have issues with their mental fitness.
A ‘toolkit’ approach may be more appropriate in these cases to help build skills and confidence. This includes enhancing communication skills, practising mindfulness, and developing a mindset beyond resilience when facing challenges.
Confidentiality is at the heart of my work; any testimonial/review will break that confidentiality.
I’ve dedicated 20 years to counselling, focusing on restoring mental health. Now, I’m excited to guide individuals in improving their mental fitness, which may involve restoring their mental health first.
I have over 20 years of psychological training behind me, including doctoral studies that transformed my understanding of counselling and mentoring.
My PhD thesis explored our understanding of fun and its use at work and in counselling.
I live in Wells, Somerset, with my wife and Border Terrier.
