What Happens in Therapy?
Therapy can help you by making you aware of how your mind works.
Everything I do in the therapy room is influenced by scientific research.
Learning to understand and manage feelings and behaviours can help you build better relationships, overcome obstacles, and enable you to live a more satisfying life.
Therapy is a relationship that heals
You might have a problem you can label, such as depression or anxiety, but perhaps you are simply unhappy and feel something is not right.
A great deal of these feelings arose due to the relationships you had when you were growing up. Everyone needs to feel connected. We need to feel accepted, loved, and celebrated.
When this is not the case, we can carry emotional difficulties into adulthood.
My primary approach is called integrative relational therapy. It means that in therapy, we will work on the internal and external obstacles that are preventing you from being in sustaining and happy relationships that might be holding you back.
The goal is to help you thrive in the present, although we might talk about past relationships and experiences and how they might have impacted you.
The Reward Is A New Life
Therapy is a journey that requires commitment and dedication. However, the benefits can lead to higher self-esteem, self-understanding, trust, and happiness.
We will talk about feelings and thoughts that you might have bottled up for a long time so you can understand yourself better. Some people find therapy overwhelming at first, so it is essential that we pace the work according to your specific needs. You might have pushed away feelings and thoughts because they were too tough to face on your own. This time you don’t have to do it alone. Working through your difficulties with an experienced professional can make all the difference.
Hello, I’m John
A psychotherapist with an integrative approach, holding an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. My professional journey spans diverse areas, including Employee Assistance Programs, NHS IAPT services, trauma and crisis support, school counselling, bereavement care, hospice care, and working with survivors of sexual abuse. My approach is deeply rooted in empathy, empowerment, and the belief in fostering a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their journey toward self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.
I specialize in both short-term, solution-focused therapeutic approaches, drawing on additional knowledge of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and long-term, in-depth psychotherapy tailored to address complex and enduring issues. This versatility allows me to provide individualized care based on each client’s unique needs, whether they seek immediate, targeted solutions or more profound, long-lasting personal transformation.
I also have experience in social work, particularly supporting homeless individuals, and I completed training in non-denominational hospital-based pastoral care, focusing on providing emotional and spiritual support in healthcare settings. These opportunities broadened my understanding of the human experience and deepened my capacity for empathy, further enriching my therapeutic practice beyond traditional settings.
After earning my MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling, I undertook extensive supervised clinical practice. This hands-on training across a range of settings and client issues, including end-of-life therapy and couples counselling, allowed me to refine my skills and deepen my expertise. Supervision played a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and ethical integrity of my work during this period.
