I'm a skilled and experienced clinical psychologist, with over ten years of qualified experience in the NHS and private practice. I offer therapy sessions primarily online, allowing you to get better help whenever and wherever suits you best.
I have worked extensively with many different mental health problems over the years. My areas of specialist support in therapy are mood disorders (including depression) and anxiety disorders (including trauma, anger management, sleep issues, relationship problems and OCD). I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but I have extensive further training in other approaches.
I am confident that I offer some of the best psychology and counselling support available online. I have worked for many years in the NHS and have been trusted by hundreds of people with their mental health. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
When you get in touch with me, you will always be treated with kindness and respect. You will never have to wait to access support, and I will only provide support if I am confident that I can make a positive difference to your mental health. Feel free to explore my site and get in touch if you’d like any more information or to arrange a free 15 minute consultation appointment.
There are many factors to consider when deciding the right person to support your mental health. We never take your trust for granted. As well as the information on this website, we've put together some further information to help you make the best choice.
Anxiety is a normal emotion, but when it becomes excessive and persistent, it crosses the line into a health concern. It's that uneasy, worried, or fearful feeling that can range from mild to overpowering. While everyone experiences anxiety occasionally, those with anxiety disorders face it more intensely and frequently, impacting their daily lives.
Depression isn't just feeling down or sad for a few days. It's a persistent, heavy weight that disrupts daily life and casts a shadow on everything you do. Imagine carrying a dark cloud around with you. People with depression experience low mood, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep/appetite, struggling to concentrate, and many others.
Addiction is a chronic brain disease characterised by compulsive substance use or behaviour despite harmful consequences, trapping individuals in a cycle of seeking and using that distorts their perception of pleasure and reward. Addiction arises from a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and psychology, leading to cravings, tolerance, and a loss of control.
Including anger managment issues, bereavement, developing coping skills, OCD, gender issues, relationship issues, self-esteem problems, sleep problems, stress, trauma.
My personal move to offering online, or remote, therapy began in 2020. It wasn't just the pandemic and the associated lockdowns that prompted this change. This was the time I became a dad for the first time. I wanted to find a way to work and offer the highest quality support to my clients without having to leave my newborn child for longer than I had to.
Working online offers many benefits, which I have covered in greater detail on this website. Just press the button to find out more.

I specialise in working with common mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression.
As an experienced CAMHS clinician, I understand young people. My approach will help them feel comfortable so that they can make the most of our sessions.
I know what it's like to live with a brain that can feel hard to understand and manage. I specialise in working with people who have ADHD and/or Autism (ASD) as well as many other cognitive differences.
"Thank you again for your help, guidance, and support. I know you'll be reluctant to take too much credit, but without your help I may not have been here to have the positive experiences I've had this year. You were a part of that journey and I'm eternally grateful for that"
"This is great!"
"(Anonymous) said you've been a really big help to him in many ways and enabled him to put certain things in context. Both he and I are very grateful for you to that, and I also appreciate your integrity in not dragging the sessions on for longer than would have been beneficial. You're a top man, Alex, and I wish you all the best.
