“Wayne is really warm and easy to talk to. He keeps things simple, listens well, asks insightful questions and makes interesting suggestions. He also communicates well between sessions and is thoroughly professional all round.”

I’m a BACP-accredited counsellor with over 12 years’ experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood, stress, and the weight of everyday life.
My approach is warm, steady, and human. We talk, we slow things down, and we make sense of what’s been happening at a pace that feels manageable for you.
I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, but the heart of the work is simple: a grounded presence, gentle awareness, and space for the small shifts that matter.
We work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
A steady, human warmth in the room.
Gently noticing what’s happening inside you, without judgement or pressure.
A soft, inward shift toward a kinder way of being with yourself.
An inner shift toward calm, clarity, and quiet strength.
A place to slow down, breathe, and gently make sense of what’s been piling up.
Sometimes life builds up quietly until it suddenly feels unmanageable. Here, you don\'t have to hold it all together. We slow things down, notice what\'s weighing on you, and make room for your breath to return. Together we find steadier ground, one small step at a time.

There are moments when you feel unfamiliar to yourself - stretched thin, disconnected, or unsure of who you\'re supposed to be. This is a space to gently explore what\'s shifted and what you might be needing. No pressure to get back to normal, just curiosity about what feels true for you now.

Thoughts, feelings, and old patterns can knot together until everything feels confusing. You don\'t have to untangle it alone. We take our time, noticing each thread with care, so things begin to feel clearer, softer, and easier to hold.

Book a first conversationA steady space to share the weight of what you’ve been holding and what might help you feel supported.
You\'ve been holding so much for so long. Here, you can set some of it down. We explore what\'s been draining you, what you\'ve been carrying quietly, and what support might look like in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Book a first conversationA calm, grounded place to sit with anger, fear, sadness, overwhelm, without fixing anything too quickly.
Strong feelings can feel overwhelming or out of place. This is a calm, grounded space to sit with whatever\'s rising - anger, fear, sadness, confusion - without needing to silence or fix it. Together we make room for your emotions to be understood rather than battled.

“I was growing my way out of a dark dismal hole. It felt good to have a trusted partner cheering me on.”

“Wayne is the first therapist I have worked with who I managed to stick with for more than a couple of sessions. This is because Wayne is a calm and down to Earth practitioner who made me feel comfortable and listened to. I really valued Wayne’s approach of not needing to put a label on every experience, but rather see me as an individual and help me work through my thoughts and experiences. I also really appreciate that Wayne challenged me to new ways of thinking and to be proactive in helping myself. I first reached out to Wayne during a very dark time when I was finding it very difficult to make sense of some of the things that had happened to me. I feel proud and amazed at how much progress I have made since that first day. I worked with Wayne for 18 months and in that time, I can genuinely say that he helped empower me to change my outlook on life and new challenges. Thank you.”

“Wayne has been a wonderful therapist. He is attentive, considerate and compassionate while also being proactive with how to address the issues you're facing. From noticing small shifts in tone and facial expressions to seeing changes in posture or body language, Wayne always managed to spot the issue before I was even aware it was creeping up. He then gave me a safe space to explore those thoughts and feelings while guiding me to understanding and integrating them. I would highly recommend Wayne to anyone who may want to try therapy.”
