"Neil is extremely personable, with a soothing and understanding persona that makes sharing uncomfortable truths really easy. Coaching and counselling sessions with Neil exceeded my expectations! He helped me overcome crippling anxiety." (Tracy)

A Unique Coach and Counsellor

Here are the top 5 reasons why I'm unique: 
  1. I work both In person (St George, Bristol) or Online  I work flexibly and I can come to you,  meet you at my place, or go outside!  My sessions are 1 hour (not the normal 50 minute  counselling hour) but sometimes I can offer a few more minutes if we need it, for free. 
  2. I am a trauma informed therapist, specializing in anxious adults who want to be happier and healthier. 
  3. I combine Counselling and Coaching to move your forward, because this is the type of therapist I think works best. 
  4. I give every client notes and a check-in after the session to make sure you get the most from it.
  5. ​​I have a policy of being TOTALLY AFFORDABLE to all. I want to make sure you can access help when you need it. ​

First Session Is Only £27

  • After this pay according to what you can afford: £75/£55/£45 for 1 Hour (High/Low/No income). 
  • In person (St George, Bristol) or Online is available. 
  • ​​I have a money-back guarantee - I know that you will love the session!

If you are having financial difficulties I offer a concession rate.  Please contact me to ask for a further concession - I'm very open to this. I have a policy that I never let someone's financial situation get in the way of working with you.

What happens in a session?
  • Welcoming and agreements - making sure you feel safe and warmly welcomed (all parts of you)
  • A grounding practice - to help regulate your nervous system
  • Listening and reflecting - to understand your situation and feelings
  • ​Coaching and counselling - a variety of modalities, such as: 
    • ​Counselling: Person Centred Counselling (Carl Rodgers): Fundamentally my intention is to help you trust yourself through listening and responding with empathy, genuineness and unconditional acceptance. 
    • Coaching: GROW Coaching (Sir John Whitmore): Looking at Goals, Reality, Options and Will.
    • Working with 'thoughts': CBT, DBT and 'The Work' (Byron Katie) to explore and open up unhelpful thoughts with four meditative questions and finding new perspectives.
    • Working with 'trauma' and 'emotions' through Compassionate Enquiry  ( Dr. Gabor Maté) to bring kindness and love into the process and acknowledging the positives of our psychological defences and coping mechanisms.
    • Embodied work using Somatic Experiencing - to help relax the nervous system and access underlying Trauma by tracking the bodily sensations where trauma and muscle memory link together.
    • Working with 'parts' through Internal Family Systems and Voice Dialogue and the Drama Triangle to create a playful way of exploring tricky patterns and self-criticism, rescuing and victimisation via internal parts and patterns of thought and feeling.
    • Working with NLP and Clean Language - using metaphor and language to help people access hidden beliefs and release them.
  • I find it helpful for clients to wrap up each session with agreed actions, celebrations and sending you useful notes. This is such a rare thing and so many clients LOVE IT. If you'd this just let me know.

After 25 odd years of therapies, and self-help techniques, it can take a *lot* to impress me.  I'm deeply impressed with the approach and coaching abilities of Neil! (Julie C)
