Therapists in United Kingdom

We all struggle at times and you don’t have to do it alone. I aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental, confidential space to explore whatever is impacting you. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I am able to be flexible in my approach and tailor it to the person I am working with and the issues that they are currently facing. I offer face to face or remote sessions in Nottingham City Centre.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you’re just going through the motions? Battling depression, anxiety, or the weight of past trauma? Many men struggle in silence, but you don’t have to. Reaching out takes real courage – and you’ve already shown that by being here.
I’m Jeff, a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who specialises in men’s mental health. As a male counsellor, I get it – I understand the pressure to “man up,” the difficulty of opening up, and how hard it can be to ask for support. I work with men of all ages: young adults navigating life transitions, dads struggling to connect with their teenagers, and men processing relationship challenges, work stress, or past trauma.
My trauma-informed approach combines emotional healing with practical strategies. We’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck while building real tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and showing up as the man you want to be. You deserve genuine understanding and lasting change.

I offer a collaborative approach to therapy ranging from clear advice and evidence-based techniques using CBT to a counselling-informed way of working, creating space to express and understand thoughts and feelings.
We will work together to understand and map out a way forward to deal with the problems you face.

I am an accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist registered with the UKCP and currently see both individuals and couples online. Individual therapy is for anyone who is experiencing a stressful time in their lives, or feels depressed or anxious or both. Perhaps you’re not feeling happy with your life in general and unsure of the reason and this may be affecting your relationships with family, friends or partner. During these times it can be supportive to speak to someone like a therapist who can provide a non judgemental confidential safe space for you to explore how you are feeling.

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).

I believe therapy can be truly transformative, offering a space to explore past experiences and how they shape our present. This belief comes from my work as both a therapist and a client. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, empowering environment where they can make more productive meaning about their world and relationships.
My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, but when appropriate I also offer constructive challenge. I meet each person where they are, encouraging deeper reflection and new perspectives.
Much of my experience involves supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality.
