I’m Greg, a qualified counsellor, therapist and life coach. My approach brings counselling, psychotherapy and coaching together because I believe meaningful work comes from understanding the whole person. That means exploring where you are now and what has shaped you, while also looking towards where you want to go and who you want to become.

My interest in people began long before I trained professionally. My own life experiences have shaped both the person I am and the way I work today. They have taught me that life can look very different on the outside from how it feels on the inside. Through my experience of working with clients, I have learned that what we struggle with today often makes more sense when we begin to understand what sits underneath it.

A central part of my work is helping people develop deeper self-awareness. We all have unconscious drivers that influence our thoughts and feelings without us fully recognising them. These can include beliefs we have developed about ourselves, emotional rules we have learned to live by and patterns of behaviour that have become automatic over time. Bringing these into conscious awareness can help us understand why we respond in certain ways, what may be holding us back and where we have greater choice.

I work integratively so our work is shaped around you rather than a fixed programme or single therapeutic model. I listen deeply, remain curious, notice patterns and explore what may be driving them. I also challenge when challenge is needed. Trust, honesty and genuine human connection matter because they allow us to have conversations that go beyond the surface.

My belief is that therapy is not about endlessly looking backwards and coaching is not simply about pushing forwards. The past can help us understand how we arrived here, the present shows us what is happening now and greater self-awareness gives us the opportunity to make more conscious choices about what comes next.

People come to work with me for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, overthinking or a lack of confidence. You may feel stuck, lost or uncertain about the direction your life is taking. For others, life may appear successful or settled from the outside, yet something still does not feel right. You might not even know exactly what you need, only that you no longer want to keep feeling or living as you are.

Relationships and communication are an important part of my work. The way we communicate, connect with others and respond when we feel hurt, misunderstood or under pressure can affect every area of our lives. This may involve your relationship with a partner, family member, friend or colleague, or perhaps the relationship you have with yourself. We can explore difficulties with communication, boundaries, trust and connection, as well as recurring patterns that may be affecting the relationships that matter to you.

I also work with people who want more from themselves or their lives. You may be at a crossroads personally or professionally, questioning what comes next, wanting greater confidence or clarity, or recognising that the way you have been living no longer fits the person you are becoming. This can be particularly relevant for business owners, professionals and people who have spent years achieving, providing or carrying responsibility, yet have given far less attention to what they actually want and need for themselves.

My practice is not limited to one type of person or one particular difficulty. Some clients come for counselling or therapy, others are looking for life coaching, while some need a combination of both. What matters is understanding what you need from our work together and creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly, think differently and explore the areas of your life that genuinely matter to you.

I offer individual sessions from private therapy rooms, as well as online sessions across the UK.

I know that reaching out for the first time can feel like a big step, particularly if you have never experienced counselling, therapy or coaching before. My aim is to make that first conversation feel as natural and comfortable as possible.

Before booking a full session, I offer a free initial telephone or Zoom consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk briefly about what has brought you here, what you would like support with and what you are hoping to gain from working together. It also gives you the chance to ask questions, get a sense of me and decide whether I feel like the right fit for you.

If you feel my approach is right for you, the first session is shaped around what will be most useful to you. Some people want room to talk, settle in and see where the conversation takes us. Others arrive with something specific they want to address and prefer to begin there straight away. There is no one-size-fits-all starting point.

As our sessions develop, we begin building a fuller picture together. I may ask questions about different areas of your life or experiences that feel relevant, while at other times our focus may be much more specific. The work can develop and adapt as you do because I don't believe every person needs the same thing from me at every stage. We can review our work as we go, making sure it continues to feel relevant and purposeful.

There is no pressure to arrive with everything worked out or to tell me everything at once. Equally, if you are ready to get to work, we can. You are not committing to a fixed number of sessions. Some people come with a particular focus and work with me for a shorter period, while others value having longer to explore, develop and build on the work over time.

The relationship between us matters, but so does understanding what you need from me. My role is not to make every client fit the same process, but to make sure the work has the right balance of support, exploration, challenge and direction for you.
