About me and my therapy practice

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? Perhaps you鈥檙e struggling with loss, low self-worth, or pressures that feel too much to manage alone. You鈥檙e not alone鈥攁nd you鈥檙e not beyond support.

I鈥檓 Colin, a person-centred therapist who believes in meeting people where they are, with honesty, warmth and respect.

After a long professional career and raising a family, I trained as a therapist later in life. My experiences鈥攊ncluding working with vulnerable people while delivering food parcels and pharmaceuticals during the COVID-19 pandemic鈥攄eepened my understanding of how essential emotional support is, especially when it feels out of reach.

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what鈥檚 going on beneath the surface. Through person-centred therapy, many clients begin to understand themselves better, build resilience, and feel more in control of their emotions and decisions.

Below are some of the issues that I am familiar with:

鈥 Anxiety

鈥 Bereavement

鈥 Low self esteem

鈥 Romantic, family, work or social relationship issues

鈥 Dissociation

鈥 Issues related to neuro-diversity

 

Practice description

Affordable Therapy

I believe that everyone deserves access to emotional support, regardless of financial means. That鈥檚 why I offer a 鈥減ay what you can afford鈥 model鈥攂ased on trust, not proof.

If we decide to work together, you choose a fee that feels manageable for you. Your wellbeing is more important than a fixed rate.If we are to achieve your desired outcomes together, we will need to develop trust. I will take the first step towards building this by trusting you to choose to pay what you can afford for my services.

What to Expect

We鈥檒l start with a free 15鈥30 minute phone call to explore what鈥檚 brought you here and whether I鈥檓 the right fit for your needs. If we decide to continue, sessions are weekly for 50 minutes鈥攐nline or in person.

In our first session, we鈥檒l agree on confidentiality, session goals, and how to regularly review your progress together.

My first session

During the first meeting we will work together to create a formal agreement covering our joint expectations including the confidentiality of the information you share with me, how I will keep your personal data private, and our commitment to timekeeping. 

At the end of this session, we will finalise the terms of our financial agreement, the initial number of sessions we are committing to together and how we will regularly review your progress.
