About me
Hi, I'm Phil!
I’m a BACP Registered Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Acupuncturist with over 20 years of experience supporting people with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
My Approach
I believe in creating a space where people feel safe, supported, and understood. I offer a goal-focused, practical approach to therapy - drawing on counselling, hypnotherapy, and acupuncture to help people strengthen their resilience and move forward in life.
I’ve worked in a wide range of settings over the years - including high secure hospitals, CAMHS units, colleges, drug and alcohol addiction teams, domestic abuse services, and with veterans experiencing PTSD. Each experience has deepened my understanding of people, pain, and healing.
Whether we’re working one-to-one or in a group, I always aim to be present, compassionate, and honest. I believe in building real tools and strategies that make a difference.
This is meaningful work for me.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.

Additional information
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnotherapy helps you access the power of your subconscious mind to create lasting, positive change.
Using focused relaxation and proven techniques, we work together to shift patterns that may be holding you back-whether that’s anxiety, stress, habits, or self-doubt. It’s a safe, natural approach that delivers results.
£80 per session (50 minutes)
One-to-One Counselling
In one-to-one counselling, we work together in a safe, confidential space to explore whatever’s weighing you down- whether it’s stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem.
I practice solution-focused therapy to help you identify what’s holding you back, challenge self defeating thought patterns, and start building the confidence to move forward.
This is practical, focused therapy- designed to help you take action and feel more in control of your life.
£60 per session (50 minutes)
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a gentle, holistic treatment rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Using five tiny needles in each ear, this method helps restore balance, calm the nervous system, and channel positive energy (Chi) throughout the body.
It’s effective for reducing stress, easing tension, and supporting overall emotional and physical wellbeing.
