Im Adrian-a relational and relatable counsellor/psychotherapist working from an integrative perspective tailoring my approach to suit each clients needs. I have 15 years experience of working within NHS therapeutic & mental health settings. I also have experience of training/working with trauma and sexual violence and spent some years providing longer term therapy and facilitating groups.I am also experienced within working in the field of higher education and university settings.

I  have undertaken specialist training enabling me to work effectively with LGBTQ+ communities and offer support to those who may be questioning/struggling with their gender &/ or sexual identity. I have clinical personal lived experience of some of the issues and challenges minorities can encounter in heteronormative society.

As an accredited mindfulness teacher I can also incorporate aspects of this within client work where appropriate to help with anxiety and panic and learning to live and tolerate pain in chronic health conditions.This can help restore balance and enable better emotional regulation 

I offer clients a initial consultation appointment to see if we are a good fit for working together, this can be online or in person-entirely dependent on your preference.

We can then explore some of your struggles and issues in more detail to find a way forward together.I work at your pace-Clients experience me as authentic, empathetic, warm and very relatable- which is so important to any to relationship where we learn to build trust and feel safe enough to explore our thoughts & feelings in a safe environment.

We meet for an initial assessment either in person or online and explores your current difficulties and reasons for seeking therapy. We can see if we are a good match together and if we decide to work together we identify particular issues you may be struggling with and how best we can work to manage them.We regularly review our work together. Clients tell me they find me authentic, warm and very relatable- which makes it easier to feel comfortable to open up to explore thoughts and feelings.I also have a good sense of humour and this can also be a big help where appropriate!
