Find a Therapist in United Kingdom

I provide both in-person and online therapy. I create a calm, healing space for you to feel secure and for a therapeutic relationship to be formed. I utilise a range of therapeutic understanding and interventions to help you become more aware of how you function, this in turn will help empower you to feel more confident and creative in however you choose to express yourself in the world. I work very intuitively and with deep listening and communication, helping you to increase your awareness of yourself. Our work will be varied, utilising both talking therapy as well as somatic (body) and energetic work.  

Welcome, I am an Integrative counsellor. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression and bereavement. People also attend because they are feeling stuck, struggling to find meaning or purpose in their lives. They may be struggling with their relationships with food, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, shopping... using these methods to manage their emotions, or to distract themselves from situations or feelings that are overwhelming them. I have worked for over ten years in the field of sexual health in both the NHS and charity sector. I have extensive experience working with LGBT clients at places such as London Friend, The Helios Centre and 56 Dean Street. I offer support for people struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours or what is often referred to as sex addiction. Shame and guilt can prevent us from seeking support. I have a pro-sexual stance. I offer a gender, sexuality and relationship diverse service, focussed on people leading authentic and satisfactory lives.  

Weybridge Hypnotherapy & Mindfulness offers a unique combination of Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness training and Psycho-sensory therapies to help treat clients presenting with a whole range of conditions. I am a Master Clinical Hypnotherapist and qualified Mindfulness teacher with over 10yrs experience treating all types of Traumas, Phobias, Anxieties and Addictions. Also offered is a truly Holistic Weight Control Program that utilises a powerful combination of Nutritional advice, Exercise planning , Mindful eating and Hypnosis.  

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends. Over the years I have come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as deeply healing, a safe space for clients to reflect and explore.  

Considering Divorce? Please call me before you call an attorney! What can seem like you're heading for a break up can be a breakthrough to a deeper connection; despite infidelity, loss of a child or lack of intimacy. You are perhaps feeling shame or anger and you're anxious to take the first step; yet you want to try everything for yourself and your family. Maybe you've tried other methods such as marriage counseling to no avail. Please call for a free consult! Or you're looking to rebuild after a breakup and feel like you've lost yourself. My premarital work helps curb divorce stats! Prefer a 100% confidential therapeutic process from the start? Most relationship issues do not involve a mental health diagnosis. Rather, you’ve adapted to and from broken models. Through relationship education you will learn new models and tools to equip yourself for the relationship you want with yourself or someone else.  

The intention of my work is to help you to feel empowered, authentic, connected to Spirit, and to foster healing through actively creating balance and harmony in your life. My practice goals are to help alleviate suffering, support positive transformation, and to show you the beauty that you are. I will also help you to explore and then to integrate beneficial and meaningful spirituality into your everyday life. I will support you to create the dream that your soul is asking you to manifest in your life.  

I offer therapy because I have lived the ache of being stuck in not knowing my purpose, emotional eating, divorce trauma and overwhelm. I now know I was not broken, not failing, just believing some lies about myself and my situations. I now know that people heal through remembering who they were designed to be - healthy, healed, whole, free, confident, loved and abundant. I use a number of tools and methods including hypnotherapy, core belief change and light script therapy. Clients tend to need between 1 and 3 sessions to recover from their presenting issue.  

If you are feeling overwhelmed because of illness, relationships, or other challenges in your life, therapy can help break things down into manageable pieces. When you work with me we will not only talk things through, but I will help you listen to the messages that your body is sending, and we can tackle your issues in an intentional and appropriate way. If you want to change harmful behaviours like smoking, drinking, or binge eating, I have well-tested programs that help with those issues. If you are prone to anxiety or depression, I can help you tap into your own inbuilt resources to get your emotional needs met and things will look very different. If you have unwanted habits like nail biting or doom scrolling, or just want to develop new healthy behaviours like exercising and eating right, I can help! I treat you as the individual that you are, with your own thoughts, feelings, emotions, physical symptoms, hopes and dreams. I also look at the relationships, families and communities you belong to, and how these contribute to your daily wellbeing or affect your struggles. I offer the Human Givens approach (the nine emotional needs), hypnotherapy (I have 18 years' experience), and Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) which is an energy psychology. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, self-confidence, and encourage clear thinking. I provide materials, like mp3 recordings and handouts, to support you and reinforce the therapeutic work between sessions.  

Are you experiencing a loss of confidence in your personal or professional life? Trying to navigate a change and finding it bewildering? Overwhelmed by life and concerned about burnout? Struggling to sustain self-belief through a tricky patch? Or struggling to get adequate sleep? Working with a trusted partner on identifying and talking through the issues can be relieving, liberating and invigorating. With support you can identify areas that have perhaps become stuck or neglected. Rediscover what inspires you and move forwards with a new spring in your step. Be heard and use your thinking partner to have a future focused conversation that helps you make progress. With a specialism in burnout and its common nervous system associations, sleep difficulties, loss of confidence and ADHD, I offer a qualification in both counselling and coaching, which allows me to adjust our work together according to where you are at and what you need.  

Even if you start therapy to help you out of a dark or difficult time, it is a great gift that you give to yourself. We learn a great deal about ourselves, about others and ultimately about living with more ease and enjoyment. We can get curious about what you learnt growing up and in your life to date that created your world-view, your assumptions and even your body's responses to the situations you face. We'll learn about how you relate to your world in ways that *work* for you, as well as where these ways of relating are causing pain or limiting you. We will find your best ways to unblock and release those old responses. The goal: to help you to be more at-ease and authentically yourself and in relation to friends, family, work and other important people and situations. I believe every one of us has a soul-nature and way of being that works well for us and it's our job to work with that. I work with an integrative palette of approaches and tools, and share them with you in our conversations. A good deal of our work will involve not just thoughts and feelings, but how they land in your body. When we start to shift what is available to our felt-sense, our perceptions and actions can shift dramatically. This is one of the things I love about the recent post-graduate training I've undertaken in Somatic Experiencing. I'm at the Intermediate level in this method and it informs my approach to trauma, to neurodiversity and to relationships. I've also undertaken significant studies in ADHD and autism to help work with neurodivergence.  

I am a compassionate, patient, and caring person who has always had a deep interest in people and their life stories. Early in my career, this naturally led me to work as a trainer, where I enjoyed supporting and guiding others in their personal and professional development. Over time, my passion for working closely with people led me to transition into counselling and psychotherapy. I find great meaning in creating a space where individuals can openly talk about their relationships, life experiences, and the challenges they may be facing. With a natural ability to listen deeply and empathetically, I work with clients to identify the patterns or obstacles that may be holding them back from becoming their best selves. Together, we explore ways to overcome these challenges and support meaningful personal growth and healing. ​ ​  

People come to therapy for a number of reasons; you may be experiencing trauma or bereavement, the effects of historical issues, or knock on effects of the pandemic. A lot of people come to therapy because life just feels unmanageable and are struggling with day to day living. You may not know why life currently feels so difficult. Talking with a trained and experienced counsellor can help you accept and move through your issues, give you the tools and understanding to cope better with life's challenges and discover a freedom to live with and beyond the things that are holding you back. Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.  

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other difficulties, I can help you to overcome these. I am a Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Master Clinical Hypnotherapist with 15 years experience of helping people with a wide range of issues. I became a full time therapist in 2007, having previously worked with adults with physical or learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour for 20 years. I have also been a Samaritans Listening Volunteer, and British Red Cross Volunteer.  

My approach combines modern scientific understanding with traditional techniques and is based on a lifetime of experience in the professions, business, academia and family life. Therapy is open-ended and client-led and explores the sources, as well as relieving the symptoms, of distress. The goal is to achieve long-lasting change and personal growth.

See my latest book on Trauma Therapy… 'NO MORE TRAUMA' Why Suffer in Silence? ~ Dr George A. Booty.  

My take on life is that it is pretty difficult. Not for "Sissies" my father told me. I subscribe to the idea that meaning and purpose can be found in helping others. Making the world a little better for others. To that end I studied medicine and have been a GP, neurosurgeon, emergency specialist, psychiatrist and psychotherapist. As a therapist I use tools not only from psychotherapy but also draw on psychoanalysis, philosophy, biology, social science, and the spiritual. I am keen to help others find their own unique purpose and get meaning out of their life. It would be an honour for me to help you.  

With 23 years’ experience, I help people understand why they feel stuck and how to move forward. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, phobias, or patterns that continue despite your best efforts, I offer a calm, structured approach that focuses on what is maintaining the problem. My work is grounded, practical, and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on coping strategies, we work on the underlying patterns that keep difficulties in place. Some people notice meaningful change within a small number of sessions. Others choose to work more deeply over time. If you’re tired of managing and want a clearer way forward, you’re welcome to get in touch.
