More about Malcolm
- 4 years' experience

In my experience, we often come to therapy when we feel stuck in a way of living which is becoming increasingly difficult and painful to sustain. Perhaps you have some of the following thoughts and feelings:
- my life is simply surviving rather than thriving.
- my past cast long shadows on the present.
- my self esteem is fragile and I worry too much about what others might be thinking.
- my future seems more scary than exciting.
- I've lost meaning, purpose or passion in life.
- my true self has gone missing, somewhere along the way.
If any of this resonates with you, my existential approach to therapy will provide you with a safe place in which to explore and process any trauma in your past; pain in the present and anxiety about the future. Helping you to bring the 'real you' out of hiding and find a more joyful and authentic way of living.
Within a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, I will encourage you to practice self-acceptance and to examine issues and feelings you may have been avoiding for too long. Reflecting my belief in Irvin Yalom's view that 'The act of revealing ourself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help.'
I have particular expertise in working with people who have experienced significant trauma, including physical, psychological and sexual abuse. When working with trauma, I share Carl Jung's view that, 'We are not what happened to us, we are who we choose to become.' I will support you to safely explore past trauma and any associated feelings of shame or unworthiness. And to practice self-acceptance and find ways to release yourself from any control the past still exerts on your present and future.
I am an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and have been working with clients since 2020. In addition to my formal training, my approach to therapy is informed by my own 60 years of life; in all its light and shade, sadness and joy. I have had my share of troubles and disappointments and believe this enhances my ability to offer you compassion and empathetic understanding. As Bob Dylan wrote, "In your teardrops I see my own reflection.'

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
