Find a Therapist

Dr. Daniela Bloom

I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist and EMDR therapist, registered with HCPC and accredited by the British Psychological Society. In my therapeutic practice I work predominantly with issues around relationships, intimacy, anxiety, depression, loneliness and isolation, self-esteem, body image and eating disorders, gender identity, and a more general unease around existence.

My therapeutic approach is existentially/phenomenologically based, meaning that in therapy, we will focus on your unique, personal experience and how you have come to find yourself where you are, and then examine the possibility that you are in a constant process of becoming, ever-changing, but always in relation.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to share. We will work to explore situations at your pace to see how your emotions may be affecting you in the present day. This can be through set short-term or long-term work, my clients lead the sessions.

Ben Selby

Hello, I am an integrative therapist, working with a variety of men’s issues; anything from anger management through depression and anxiety, to self-esteem and childhood issues. It can be hard for us chaps to reach out sometimes, and understanding that, I work with patience and compassion to draw the issues from you at your own working pace.

Therapy can be an exciting and rewarding process. It can also be hard, and challenging. I am here to help you to become the best version of yourself.

Mark Allerton

Men sometimes carry their problems around, being strong on the outside, like a suit of armour. They leave the talking to others, often women. Your friends might be doing the same, but if you’re the one to admit it, you fear losing your credibility as a real man. There may also be an inner voice telling you to man up and not show vulnerability, but this can be part of the problem.

I think counselling can help men become better friends, partners, fathers and lovers. Learning to talk about yourself without fear of judgement can help your state of mind and relationships. When I work with men, they often find it’s a relief to finally let it all out. They feel lighter and open up to change, rather than closing down or “manning up” just to fit in.

I offer both remote and in-person appointments and have experience working with English-speaking clients who live outside the UK in all parts of the world.

Iulian Chear

My work delves into issues such as shame, pressure to conform and the inability to connect with yourself, your body, and your emotions. I usually work with men at the intersection between race, neurodiversity, social class and faith who may feel that they are different, unable to be themselves, or are dissatisfied with themselves or with their lives.

I am quite open and easy to talk to, and I think I do well with men who are nervous about coming to therapy, who find it hard to open up or who have unusual issues that cause them shame.

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with a first degree in psychology and a doctorate in existential psychotherapy.

Charlie Cornelius

An increasing number of people come to a place in life when they want to talk to someone about their challenges. I am practised at providing a space in which clients feel able to start to share. This sharing can be a relief for clients and the start of a rewarding yet challenging journey.

I am trained in both the person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. The person-centred approach can help with getting in touch with the hidden parts of ourselves to have a positive influence on our life. The psychodynamic part can provide insights.

As well as studying counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh, I have studied organisational development and nonviolent communication (NVC).

Mr. Andy Wilson

Whatever your current situation I want to help you build a vital, engaged and satisfying life. There are times when we all feel stuck and defeated. And yet if we open ourselves to the possibility of change then a way forward can be found. Working together as a team we will explore your current situation identifying both strengths and sticking points. I will encourage you to investigate your own experience using methods like ACT and Emotion Focused Therapy. Through new experiences a fresh, more workable, way of being in the world will emerge.
I provide a calm, safe environment which allows you to talk freely about your thoughts and emotions. My approach is based on building a trusting relationship, which enables both support and challenge.
