“In a world of mediocrity and incompetence it has been refreshing to work with someone at the top of their game and a credit to their profession. I cannot recommend Stephen’s services highly enough.”

Couples
Couples can be two partners, two family members e.g. parent and child over 16, or two friends who want to work on improving their relationship in some way, or for example, who need to overcome a bereavement, conflict or significant change of circumstances. Where couples are separated, estranged or conflicted I would suggest meeting individually for the introductory meeting. Introductory Meetings are followed by individual Assessments when couples want to proceed.

As a psychotherapist I endeavour to help you fully address your needs and concerns with fairness, honest challenge, and compassion throughout each session. And to finding collaborative solutions with you where they are humanly possible, and where mutual respect and good faith are maintained. I invite plain speaking, and honest dialogue at all times so that I can provide the best possible service to you as my patient.
However, I’m only human, and should you feel that I have failed to do my best with you and you are unhappy with the quality of support you receive in any psychotherapy session you attend you have 7 days within which to request a free session without challenge or question.
慈 “May you be well and happy and free from suffering and the causes of suffering”

Transparency is a value at the centre of my practice. A percentage of session fees are donated to all of the charities listed on this page.
