MENTORING As you may know, I've been working as a qualified, UKCP-accredited psychotherapist for more than 8 years and see clients on Zoom for long and short-term work. This is profound work that looks to free up the unhelpful patterns that build up over a lifetime. I use integrative psychotherapy and energy psychology to work with trauma. If you're interested in this psychotherapy work, then you can find out more here . But sometimes that intense, long-term work is not what is needed. And so, from March 2026, I am offering one-to-one mentoring: compassionate conversations where we can discuss single issues in one or two sessions. In a friendly, 45-minute conversation, held in a warm and relational space, we might look at: spiritual issues from any direction where a Buddhist lens might prove inspiring advice and solutions for your therapy work or meditational teaching relational gridlocks where friends, family or partners are causing you anguish blockages and whirlpools at work or in creative endeavours financial, physiological, work-life conundrums the complexities of the LGBTQ+ experience mid-life issues and positioning yourself for new adventures Compassion conversations can bring a fresh set of eyes to any issue where you're stuck. Even a single session might bring solutions and plans that help you move forward. Less intense than therapy, but perhaps the kindly space you need to move things on. Sessions can be one-offs or on a monthly or sporadic rhythm when they are needed and we can agree time-slots to suit your calendar. A 45-minute session costs £45. You can arrange a session by filling in the form below. If you have any further questions, please message me on therapy@mind-springs.org. Don't struggle on your own when a compassionate conversation might set you right. Please note that compassionate conversations are not a substitute for medical care. If you are in serious psychological anguish, then please contact your GP or medical doctor for treatment. I am not an accredited therapy supervisor, so please check before bringing client work. My mentoring work also adheres to the UKCP Counselling and Psychotherapy guidelines, which can be found here . All discussions remain strictly confidential in line with those guidelines. For deeper, prolonged work that involves the treatment of trauma, please read my psychotherapy page here . Request a Mentoring Session Please take a moment to fill out the form.

PSYCHOTHERAPY Thank you for your interest in my therapy work. Sometimes you might find that patterns from the past have left you 'stuck' in painful and unfulfilling life situations. And no matter how much you try to rescue yourself with your old solutions, things seem to stay stuck or get worse. Working with a trained and kind therapist can really help free up these stuck moments in a human life. Talking, reflecting, seeing things in a new way. Using energy work to unlock trauma patterns and safely dismantle dysfunctional coping strategies from early in life. Being heard. All of these can be gifts to yourself at the crucial pathways of your existence. I've been working as a therapist for more than 12 years now and believe that short, sustained stretches of psychotherapy (12 to 24 weeks) can make a massive difference to your mental health. Here’s a little about my training and how I work: I’m a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with an MA in Advanced Psychotherapy from Middlesex University. I trained at the Minster Centre with an integrative approach that highlights an awareness of the body and our relationships with one another. I have been a fully accredited member of the UKCP since 2014. My background in somatic meditation informs my work with clients. As a queer man I feel an affinity with the LGBTQ+ community and our mental health I’m also trained as a practitioner in AIT, a form of energy psychology that shows very powerful results in removing the energetic blocks left by the traumas of our past life. I work as a private practitioner in Penzance, Cornwall. Since 2020, most of my practice has been conducted online. We can arrange a free 20-minute consultation on Zoom and then decide if we are a good fit… Sessions are £70 a therapeutic hour (50 mins) and are arranged by private consultation. Please contact me via the form below.
