He has 3 decades experience of helping clients in a variety of contexts, from a wide range of ages, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. Having accumulated 16 years experience in the development, management and supervision of counselling services in a frontline London, public-sector institution he now works independently offering counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, mediation, supervision, training and mentoring.
Although I now find myself at the cutting edge of contemporary developments in behaviour change therapy I still rely essentially on the healing power of establishing a genuine person-to-person, heart-to-heart relationship.
The rapidly developing '3rd wave' of the CBT tradition (In which I specialise as an ACT therapist and trainer) honours the values of my earlier humanistic training, integrates the insights and practices from my involvement with the 'mindfulness, acceptance & compassion' traditions, and encourages me to conduct myself as a 'scientist practitioner'.This is key to providing all of my clients with evidence-based treatment; in other words, working with what works.

Services
I was born and raised in a small market town in the Midlands.
I began working life training as a British Rail engineer; then switched to study Psychology.
My first work after graduation was with the probation service setting up and managing community service projects as alternatives to custodial sentences.
In the early 1980's I travelled and lived as a busker in the United States and Europe after which I settled to live in back in Yorkshire in my university town.
I trained as an FE teacher and taught first in a 'communication workshop' - an open learning facility at an FE college.
