Hello! I’m Tristan Warr, a qualified male counsellor with a passion for walking beside others through life’s challenges and helping them discover new perspectives along the way.

I work in an integrative way, which means I use different types of therapy depending on what feels right for you. Kind of like picking the right tool for the job. I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all in counselling.

I offer in-person sessions, in my counselling room in Yeovil, or outdoor walking, and online therapy for individual adults. I offer a free online consultation, so you can get a feel for how this might work for you.

I work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

Level 5 Diploma in Person Centred Therapy, Manchester College
Years in practice: 7
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Our past and present are intimately linked by our memories. Our memories are heavily influenced and based on feelings we had surrounding an event or experience. These experiences may be impacting your life right now, even the ones that might seem irrelevant or insignificant. If we don’t become aware of this connection it will keep affecting our future. Prolonged stress can manifest itself in physical forms, including illness, lack of energy, problems with sleep, headaches, depression and anxiety. My clients are men who have experienced trauma and I see the difficulty men have in accessing their emotions and feelings. I offer a safe space with compassion working towards helping men to process their emotions and feelings.
