I can offer video-call psychotherapy (this works better than you might think), or in-person sessions are also available if you are able to travel to our church premises in Leyland, Lancashire (near Preston, UK). We have a comfortable room there which is suitably private. 

Individual psychotherapy. I am available to work with individuals. It can be very helpful to experience a few sessions of psychotherapy and work with a qualified professional in a time of difficulty, or in a journey of self-awareness. We often talk about the process of ‘notice, awareness, process’ which means first noticing your own habits, emotional and thought patterns, and working to bring those into your awareness in the moment. Then we work to find integration of the self.

Couples psychotherapy. I am available to help with marital difficulties or relationship problems. Sometimes this is the place where individual habits and idiosyncrasies, previously unconscious, will become apparent and this can be at the root of ongoing marital conflict, real or unspoken. It is likely that whatever the issue seems to be on the surface is not the root cause at a deeper level, which is why many marital arguments or destructive/repressive patterns can go around in circles, sometimes for years. It can be useful to notice and name these patterns and understand what is really going on in order to grow together. I would normally seek to work with each spouse individually as well as together.

Psychotherapy for teenagers. I can offer to work with some teenagers. I have full, enhanced DBS certification and am very experienced with young people from many years of church and youth ministry. Please ask if you are looking for a psychotherapist for your teenager and we can have a conversation to see if we would be a good fit. If we decide that it is a good idea for me to work with your teenager, it is important that we all understand the therapeutic relationship is confidential and I will not be able to report back to you unless there is a safeguarding issue.

My initial session (about 45 minutes) will be free of charge. This gives us both the opportunity to agree some basics about working together and begin to forge our therapeutic relationship. We can also talk about the sort of timeframe that might be helpful for you in your therapeutic work. This is different for everybody.

My usual rate is £65 per session.

I have a limited number of discounted sessions. If you have a need for discounted therapy, please do feel comfortable to ask me and I will work out what I am able to offer you.

Upon enquiry, I can send more information, including a psychotherapy ‘contract’ answer any questions you might have.
