Hi, my name is Sean, and I have been supporting young people, adults, couples and families therapeutically for nearly 25 years.

Listening and being guided by each person’s specific needs, I offer support using creative and flexible therapies using several different approaches which are tailored specifically to the person or people that I'm seeing at a pace guided by them.

My route in to this vocation began as a personal one and attempts as a younger person to understand my own difficulties and the wider world.

I started working to support others in this task doing youth work, then moved in to secondary schools and later the NHS supporting adults and later still, organisations supporting families with emotional and relational troubles.

I have a great passion for equity and my practice is grounded in this to work together with people to explore and understand emotional difficulty, with a strong eye on the bigger picture in background, society and the wider influences that impact on our emotional and mental health.

My first therapy training was in psychodynamic counselling, an approach looking at past experience and our unconscious mind and how this influences our current difficulties and experience. 

Since then, I’ve picked up various tools to work flexibly according to individual need and often use systemic approaches (thinking about how wider relationships within systems like family, work, society are developed, operate and interact) and play (using play or creative work to assist the therapeutic process), and am constantly learning and training to expand my knowledge and skills.

I work online or face to face from a private space in Eltham and offer walking sessions, all dependent on personal choice and circumstances.

Walking sessions are really just that, an hour walking and talking, usually locally in Oxleas and adjacent woods. Some find walking and talking sessions more comfortable with a focus away from the self and a connection with the outside and nature. 

I usually start with a free telephone consultation to get basic information and to think together about what support might be helpful; that might be counselling with me, but there might also be other things that could be helpful.

If we feel that working together could be helpful, we’ll arrange to meet and consider more details and plan our work from there. 

Often just the initial conversation is enlightening, helpful and informative, but if we agree to continue, we usually have between 4 and 6 sessions, and then check in and make sure we’re on the right lines and plan again from there. Sometimes working over several years, sometimes months or weeks, again dependent on need and circumstances.

This process shouldn’t be a judgemental or prescribed one, so I encourage reflective and compassionate conversations above anything else.

With a great deal of experience, particularly in education settings and organisations working with young people, I offer supervision and reflective practice for professionals. Reflective practice involves setting deliberate thinking time and space to consider ours’ and others’ experience and behaviour at work to develop our practice.
