William Walker

Have you ever felt misunderstood, unappreciated, or wanted to shut the world out? Have you ever needed a safe space to work through a specific problem or sudden change in your personal life or a significant relationship?

You may also be concerned with difficult dynamics or destructive patterns and their impact on your well-being, the quality of your relationships, or your children.

Seeking therapy shows courage in the depths of conflict and unknowing. Sometimes, coping independently with life’s difficulties can seem very hard. In a busy world, it can be difficult to find people with the time, willingness and objectivity to lend a sympathetic ear.

As a licensed and trained individual and couple psychotherapist, I can offer you much more than just a listening ear. I bring understanding, compassion, and empathy to our sessions, creating a robust therapeutic setting where you can feel truly understood and valued. My caring, compassionate character is dedicated to assisting others in conquering inner conflicts amidst the external realities that hinder their mental health and well-being and prevent them from achieving their goals.

With my extensive expertise and training in counselling and psychotherapy from Tavistock Relationships, a wealth of experience working with individuals and couples, and other additional training, I am well-equipped to help you address a wide range of issues that may affect how you deal with life's challenges and opportunities for yourself and your relationships.

In working with individuals and couples, I have learned that no problem or situation is the same, thus requiring a unique examination and curiosity to determine what may be happening underneath the surface to resolve what is happening in the here and now. 

I provide a reflective space where we can discuss your anxieties together and explore how past experiences may affect your current relationships and interactions with others. Through our exploration, we can develop different ways to improve communication and facilitate a greater understanding of our relationships with others and ourselves.

You will be surprised at how much emotional and other energy can be freed up by overcoming these obstacles. This newly found energy can then be diverted to more positive aspects of your life: your marriage, career, and aims and ambitions.

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with specialist experience working with couples and individuals experiencing relationship and personal difficulties. I have been specifically trained in couple therapy at the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships, a leading institute for psychotherapy and relationships. I have a certificate in working with divorced and separated couples.

I am also trained in Mentalization-based Therapy, Couple Therapy for Depression, Multi-systemic Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD. I have facilitated several groups for together and separated couples, supporting how they can reduce the parental conflict impacting their children. 

The first session can come with a lot of anxiety and worry about what seeking therapy will mean for yourself and any significant relationship you may be in.

Together, we will think about your presenting issue and any relevant history. You can ask questions about the therapy and hear about my way of working.

After the session, you will have time to consider whether we would be a good fit to work together. Once you decide, we will book sessions together.
