In my approach, I place importance on exploring the root cause of the problem and provide an affirming therapeutic space to facilitate change. A therapeutic relationship that is accepting and non-judgmental makes space for growth and healing. Psychotherapy and counselling invites an exploration of challenging past experiences and focuses on processing the feelings we hold as a result of these experiences. At the heart of our work together we will seek to understand our emotions and work alongside them. As we work through the foundations of patterns, behaviours, and feelings in a safe and supported environment, we gain greater insight into ourselves, this is where we can make significant change.

Mr. Neil Jordan

BSc (hons) Psychology; Adv. Dip Psychodrama; Dip in Embodied Relational Therapy
Years in practice: 25+
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I’m a Registered psychotherapist with the UKCP and have run my private practice full time for over 20 years. I am a Relational Psychotherapist so I work alongside my clients to explore issues that affect how they feel in their current lives and relationships as well as exploring the origins of these issues which sometimes stem from traumatic events in our developmental years. My goal is to help clients clarify what they want from life, explore what is holding them back and move through to deep and lasting change. I work with a wide range of presenting issues. Over the last 10 years I have worked with professional sportsmen and women and supported them through a range of issues which they encounter in their high profile, pressurised, daily lives.

As a man I appreciate how difficult it can be to speak about how we feel and I also know the benefits of taking this risk having had my own counselling and psychotherapy for many years.

We do what we do in life because of how we feel. When we’re happy, we think happy thoughts and feel buoyant, and are resilient and flexible. When we feel bad inside, we may become angry and resentful, or collapse in on ourselves, or worry about everything. Changing how we feel is not an easy task, because it is a manifestation of so many fundamental inner processes: how we talk to ourselves in our head, how we process and make sense of what happens to us, and how we feel about ourselves. Change, thus, comes from within; from delving into who we fundamentally are, facing what’s inside, and learning to relate to ourselves in a new way, so that we actually enjoy being alive. I am here to help you with that journey.

Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

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.
