John is really great, he’s very understanding and each session feels like they’re only a day apart as he retains what I mention to him each week so well (sometimes reminding me of things I’d forgotten about). Professional and really easy to feel comfortable with. He’s really helped me with my development and exploration of my own mind and feelings and I would highly recommend him
More about John
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I have been working therapeutically with a wide range of clients for over three years. As a starting point, my aim is to develop a relationship built on empathy, authenticity and non-judgemental acceptance - this then provides a safe environment for exploration: what is bothering you, where these feelings might be coming from, how they are impacting on your life and how to go about claiming positive change so that you can lead the life that you want and deserve.
Theoretically, I trained as an integrative practitioner. I blend elements of psychodynamic thinking alongside humanistic/person-centred practice to consider clients in their fullest sense. The safety of our relationship will scaffold you so that you are able to take the therapy where you need it to go.
I am proficient in helping clients who have experienced early and current trauma, depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship breakdown, family strain, work/life stress/imbalance, shame and LGBT+ issues. There are times that I work with people who can't identify a reason for coming to therapy, other than having a nagging sense of unease or dissatisfaction. Whatever your issue is, we will work together to find the answers you need.
Having previously sought therapy myself, I am aware how big a step this can be. But it's a positive step on a path back to feeling yourself. I'll walk it with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

John has been kind and helpful. He listens and responds to my messages with a thorough, friendly and timely response. I would recommend him greatly.
John is a well grounded person. Who's approach is more like a friend who you've not seen in years. This helped me as with others, it felt forced.
