Connect with change

Counselling Services

Hello, I’m Guy. I specialise in Counselling and Psychotherapy for adult individuals.

I am a naturally caring, hopeful, and respectful practitioner, and these qualities form the foundation of my work and the therapeutic relationship we build together.

People come to see me during times of emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, confusion or significant life transition. This may include experiences of trauma, anxiety, depression, loss, long-standing patterns, addictions or a sense that something within is asking for attention or care.

You can read more about the areas I work with on the Areas of Work page.

My approach is integrative and grounded, recognising the interconnectedness of mind, body, and being in the healing and change process. I draw from evidence-based psychotherapeutic frameworks while also working in a depth-oriented way that honours inner movements of growth, transition, and transformation.

Rather than seeing change as something to be fixed or forced, I view it as a process that unfolds through understanding, support, and care. At times, the work is practical and stabilising; at other times, it involves making sense of shifts in identity, direction, or meaning.

When experiences feel intense or unsettling, we slow things down and focus on creating enough steadiness to meet what’s arising with care. In this way, insight is not just understood, but gradually woven into everyday life.

I work collaboratively and at a pace that respects your system. Together, we aim to cultivate understanding, resilience, and self-compassion, allowing change to take root in a way that supports psychological well-being and a deeper sense of self.
