Here for You
Hi, I'm Neil and I understand how difficult it can be looking for a counsellor.
The choice can feel overwhelming, and just reaching out to contact someone can involve overcoming a huge amount of anxiety, with no guarantee you'll 'click' with that person.
That's why I offer a free, 15-minute phone consultation, giving you an opportunity to see if you feel we might work well together before you book your first session.
During this no-obligation chat we can also explore how counselling could help you.
I have experience working with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression and bereavement.
I'm here to help you better understand your thoughts and feelings, and to support you as you work through any difficulties you may be facing.
During our sessions the focus is always going to be on you, and what you need from our time together.
So if you're looking for a counsellor who will offer you a warm, empathetic and non-judgmental space to explore your concerns, I invite you to get in touch.
I am a qualified counsellor living in Wrexham, North Wales, and I studied locally at Wrexham Glyndwr University.
I am a current member of both the BACP and NCPS and my practice follows their ethical and professional principles.
For over a decade I specialised in resolving workplace disputes and was engaged as a link between employers and employees. This experience allowed me to develop a wealth of insight and understanding around different lifestyles and perspectives.
Since 2020 I dedicated my time to the third sector, supporting individuals from challenging backgrounds to overcome the obstacles they face in their lives.
I am also a parent (and a lover of other animals too) and enjoy expressing myself creatively through photography.
Although I don't allow the difficult chapters I have been through in my own life-story define who I am as an individual, I do acknowledge that they taught me a lot about the resilience and strength of character I possess.
In hindsight I am grateful for having experienced those testing times, as the personal development I undertook through my own counselling journey now allows me to offer a deeper level of support to my clients.
This first-hand experience of receiving counselling also means I have a very real understanding of what it's like searching for a counsellor, and how much courage it takes to reach out.
By just visiting this site you've taken a huge step towards acknowledging that you want to make changes happen in your life and, when you're ready, I'm here to help you take the next step.
