Simon Thorne

As a humanistic counsellor I start from the view that, however life looks, we are oriented towards growth and fulfilment. It is not always easy to find the language for this, particularly around those relationships and connections to the world that should be the source of our happiness and wellbeing, yet somehow aren’t. In therapy I am assuming that you are primarily in control. However, perhaps it is helpful to have someone who can walk with you to share the turmoil. Whatever your concerns, my commitment is that you experience our therapeutic alliance as a rewarding relationship based in empathy and mutuality. Anxiety, loss, bereavement, traumatic stress, depressive disorders, isolation and low self-esteem are common themes in my work. As a man I have a particular interest in the emotional worlds we create for ourselves as men. I offer support in a safe space to find a language of feeling around identity and sexuality. Whatever tough life-choices you may be dealing with, I am committed that we share a journey that celebrates our common dignity and aliveness. 

My charges per session are £60 for individuals and £80 for couples. For more information I invite you to visit my website: www.thenewbeginning.co.uk
