Simon Chapman

My practice is guided by over 20 years of helping people in difficult and often stressful situations. I have worked operationally in the Armed Forces; NHS; Police; and RNLI; as well as teaching in schools and a university. I bring the empathy, training and skills acquired from this extensive experience into my counselling.

Specialising in CBT, ADHD Support and Couples Therapy, I am able to assist with a broad range of individual and relational issues, including Anxiety and Phobias; Depression, Abuse and Trauma; Communication and Conflict Patterns.

I have significant experience of working with neurodiversity (particularly ADHD), understanding the challenges this can bring to our closest relationships, self-esteem, work and family life.

Dr. John Hilsdon

Would you like someone to really listen to you – who will give you time and space to express how you are, or to explore what might be wrong, without making judgements about you? I’ve been working in this field for over twenty years and can offer a range of approaches for tackling issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship problems. You are welcome to text, email or call me for a free initial chat. See my website for more details about me, how I work and how to make contact.

Mr. Richard Whitenstall

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement). From 2017 to 2019 I set up and ran a counselling service with London charity Positive21 (HIV). I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.

Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.

After that I work online via “Psychology Today Sessions” (encrypted video service) each session lasts 50 minutes.

The model I use is Gestalt/Humanistic theory.

Sam Bloxsidge

If you are looking to explore issues around sense of identity, meaning / purpose in life, relationships, creative expression, feeling like and outsider, and/or any of life’s challenges that arise, I can offer a supportive space.

As a UKCP registered psychotherapist, I offer online sessions to UK residents on a weekly basis, in which to explore, understand and discover ways to help you feel empowered to engage with life meaningfully.

Please get in touch via email for availability current and to arrange a free-of-charge 20 min consultation via zoom, where we can discuss your needs further, and see how we get on.

Mr. James Hawes

I specialise in working with boys and men helping them develop emotional fitness. I work with a variety of issues including anger, low mood, communication issues, relationship difficulties, shame, anxiety and increasing the ability to express a full range of emotions.

I have recently authored a new book called, ‘The Secret Lives of Men – Ten keys to unlock the mystery. See more here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Lives-Men-unlock-mystery/dp/1916279007

Ms. Máire Stedman

I am a Systemic Psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families. Many of my clients are males between the ages of 25-55 from all walks of life. I am near the City of London financial sector and many of my clients present with work related stress, anxiety and depression. I have also worked with OCD, bi-polar disorder; panic attacks; and eating disorders as well as PTSD and complex trauma and how this can manifest in people’s lives, particularly in relying on substances like alcohol & drugs. I have quite a lot of experience of dealing with suicidal ideation and know that life can quickly feel quite overwhelming.

Andy Wilson

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.

Mrs. Lis Starkey-Smets

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.

Dr. Annemarie O’Connor

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.

Dr. Paul Lewis

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.

Jeff Dawson

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.

Miss Hope Peckover

Coming to therapy can be a really tricky first step; perhaps you’ve now realised you are struggling, or you know you are capable of more and want to make the most out of life. There can be loads of reasons for coming to therapy. My aim in my therapy room is to help and guide you in the direction you want to go.

Andrew Kitching

I am an experienced psychotherapist currently working from consulting rooms in Belgravia & Chelsea, London, and work with adult clients from varying backgrounds. In my previous career as a senior executive in newspaper and media organisations in the US and UK, I worked with highly creative individuals and business people alike. This specialist knowledge of the creative and business worlds informs my psychotherapy work as well as familiarity with mid-life/career transitioning, divorce/separation, drink/drug dependency, boarding school syndrome and the attendant depression, stress and anxiety this can evoke.

John Ridley

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.

Andy Solomon-Osborne

I have been working in the field of mental health for 22 years, providing treatment and support for a range of conditions.
I specialise in helping men navigate life’s challenges and I’m passionate about supporting you to access the care you need, giving you the time and space to explore your issues—both in short-term and long-term therapy.
As a current member of MENTELL men groups, I have run or participated in numerous men’s groups over the past two decades, so I truly understand the challenges you may be facing.
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to answer any questions you may have and to ensure that I am the right fit for you.
