I offer a warm, safe and confidential space for you to share your story and explore what’s happening for you. Whether that’s something that’s happening now, or something that happened in the past, I’m here to listen and to help you make sense of your experiences.
I work with all types of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, abuse, and relationship issues, but I have particular experience of working with young adults, people impacted by suicide, and people recovering from a difficult childhood.
I hold a master’s degree in counselling and psychotherapy and have previously researched men’s mental health. I offer in-person sessions here in Bebington and online via Doxy.

Hello, I’m an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, working with individuals in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, and online.
I have experience supporting people experiencing a wide range of emotional difficulties and adapt my approach to suit each individual and their circumstances/needs. I have a particular interest in working with parents, both during the postnatal period and beyond. Please do take a look at my website to learn a bit more about what it might be like to work with me, and feel free to get in touch via email or telephone if you have any questions.

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.

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.

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.

I have been working as an integrative therapist for over 10 years and tailor my way of working to meet your needs. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.
Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel down or angry, struggling to find joy and fulfilment in life? In therapy we work together to identify the causes and find solutions. Are you tired of repeating self-destructive behaviours? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? Unhealthy habits can develop that lead to us feeling trapped. I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which you are able to identify your problems and find ways to change.
My website has more information where I also offer a free 20 minute introductory call.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why you react the way you do? I can help you understand your emotions, break old patterns, and feel more grounded, confident, and in control.
I’m a qualified Humanistic counsellor working in Tring, Leighton Buzzard, and online. I help adults untangle their emotions, understand their patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and fulfilling.
In practice, this might mean I reflect what you’ve told me so you can hear it in a new way, ask questions to clarify your thoughts, or offer a different perspective for you to consider. Sometimes we might work through compassion exercises, thought experiments, or mindfulness tools like breathing and grounding techniques. Whatever helps.

I work in a Person-Centred approach, which means offering and holding a space of understanding, acceptance and authenticity, that is ultimately led by you. It’s an approach that I feel attuned to due to its philosophy, its attempts to address power and how it can facilitate people in their process and journey of change, whatever that may be. I am interested in concepts of masculinity and the complex feelings of mixed heritage being born into a family with a background of different nationalities.

As your counsellor, I can help you by listening to whatever is troubling you the aim being to help you explore and understand the events or situation that have prompted you to seek help. I can help you explore any kind of problem, whether it is trying to make sense of a past life experience that is causing you some emotional pain, or a current problem that you are finding hard to cope with on your own, or perhaps a fear of something in the future which is holding you back. I strongly believe that having a safe space to talk, without judgment, can help you get clarity and empower you to move forward and make clear decisions about what you can do to improve your life.

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.

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.
