John Ridley

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, CPCAB
Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in Soho, London and online.

Therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and sexuality issues, substance use, health conditions and HIV.

Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can’t put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked – early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate your progress.

I have specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training to help you if you are experiencing sleep problems, panic, phobias, and some forms of trauma and OCD.

Dr. Matthew Ireland

PhD, University of Nottingham & MSc Existential Psychotherapy, Middlesex University
Years in practice: 2
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it? Maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel anxious or uncertain – without knowing exactly what you want to change, or why. You’re not alone in feeling this way.

I help men explore the deeper questions behind their identity, relationships or life struggles – not just what’s happening, but what it means to them – so they can reconnect with themselves, make clearer choices and move from acting in life to authoring their future. My approach is warm and respectful, so you can be honest without fear of judgment. You’re welcome to book a free intro call – no pressure, just a chat.

Phil Shaw

PGDip in Counselling, University of Edinburgh
Years in practice: 2
Offers:  Remote Therapy

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.
