Hello, and a warm welcome.

I'm Tony, a qualified integrative counsellor based in Hertfordshire, working face to face locally, and online across the UK. My counselling approach is rooted in a person-centred, relational foundation, where you're fully accepted as you are.

I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can speak freely and feel genuinely heard. My approach is also shaped by years of working in high-pressure, high performance environments, where resilience was essential and stress often hidden. This lived experience gives me a grounded understanding of what it means to carry a lot on the inside while appearing fine on the outside. It informs the consistent, empathic presence I bring to therapy, and the respect I hold for each person's unique story.

What It鈥檚 Like to Work With Me:

I believe healing happens in relationship, one built on honesty, trust, and real human connection. My role is to be alongside you, with warmth, empathy and steadiness, as we explore what鈥檚 going on beneath the surface. You don鈥檛 need to have the 鈥渞ight鈥� words or clear goals.

Whether you are feeling anxious, a bit lost, weighed down by past experiences, or unsure where to begin, we鈥檒l start together from wherever you are. I鈥檓 not here to fix you. I believe you already hold the strength to heal, even if it feels distant right now.

To support this, I sometimes draw from other approaches alongside the person-centred foundation. I may gently bring in tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help make sense of patterns in your thoughts or behaviours. Or from TA (Transactional Analysis) to explore how past relationships or roles might still be affecting how you feel or respond today. These elements are used in a way that fits naturally into our work, always guided by what feels most helpful for you.

During the first session we will complete a short initial contact sheet, followed by a working agreement. We complete this together to make sure that your needs and preferred ways of working are honoured, while also ensuring we meet the professional, ethical, safe standards required in the counselling setting. We can then focus on the session itself and begin the journey of exploring things together in a relaxed supportive way.
