My current availability is

I conduct all my sessions online through an easy to use videocall system which requires no special skills to use or software downloads.

Googling how to cope with work related stress? Its time to talk

Does your internet search history look something like this?

What should I do if work is getting on top of me?

Am I burned out from too much work?

Why do I feel so stuck?

My mind won't stop racing what can I do?

These experiences are more common than many people realise. Therapy with me provides a supportive space to understand what is happening and find a healthier way forward.

Whether you are experiencing these issues right now, are recovering from problems in the past, or are looking to take proactive steps to safeguard your health in the future then talking with a skilled, independent and compassionate therapist like me can really help.  

I’m Niall, a BACP registered counsellor (registration number 413944) providing person-centred online therapy across the UK from my base in Leeds.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a lawyer and later in policy and leadership roles within central government and the NHS in England. I am a qualified coach and mentor. 

These experiences continue to inform my understanding of:

• professional pressure
• workplace stress and burnout
• high-responsibility roles

I have a first hand understanding of the pressures, demands and loneliness which can come from being the person in charge whom everyone is relying on.

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Distinction) from the University of Leeds, where I worked both online and face to face with clients.

Working with through an easy to use online videocall system, I offer a warm, safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you are fully accepted and empowered as the expert on your own life.

Working together we can:

• understand the patterns behind anxiety, stress and low mood

• reduce overthinking and regain mental clarity

• develop healthier responses to pressure and responsibility

• rebuild confidence and emotional balance

• feel more in control of your thoughts and decisions

Successful therapy is built upon trusted relationships. 

That's why I offer a confidential and free initial assessment session where we can explore what you are looking for from therapy and how things might work.

Drop me a message and we can talk more about how things might work, to help you to decide whether you want to work with me. I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

I will talk to you about my approach to counselling and psychotherapy, which  is rooted in the person-centred tradition. 

This means I believe you possess the innate ability and inner resources to solve your own challenges and achieve lasting personal growth.

It is my role to work with you to create the right environment for you to work through the issues you are facing.

Working online means that you can access counselling at a time and place which is convenient for you, without the hassle and expense of travelling

Should you decide to work with me then in our first full session we will discuss how we will approach crucial issues such as confidentiality, and finalise our approach to working together. 

This helps maintain momentum and build a consistent rhythm that supports meaningful change.

You can book and amend sessions at any time through an easy to use Client Portal - accessible via www.iminduk.com
