About

My name is Colin and I am a Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience helping people with a range of psychological problems. I have worked in Tokyo, London, and the Channel Islands and I offer a range of evidence based psychological therapies for children, young people, and adults.

I am fully qualified to deliver high quality CBT and I invest in my professional development. Most of my own training has been with world leading CBT practitioners to ensure I can provide the best possible therapy. Therapy can be provided face to face or remotely.

I can treat a range of problems, including:

Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Childhood Trauma, Phobias, Blood/Needle/Dental Phobia, Panic attacks, Panic Disorder, Worry, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Body Image Concerns, Body Dysmorphia, Olfactory Reference Syndrome, Health Anxiety, Hoarding, Eating Disorders, Bulimia, Trichotillomania, Stress, Acute Stress Disorder, Occupational Issues, Clinical Perfectionism, Low Self Esteem, Rumination, Addictions, Assertiveness, Anger, Long Term Conditions, IBS, Diabetes, Chronic Fatigue, Medically Unexplained Symptoms, Cancer Support, Bereavement, Traumatic Bereavement, Separation Anxiety, Adjustment, Insomnia, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Parenting Support, Self Harm, Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression in Adolescents.

I have trained in other approaches such as Interpersonal Psychotherapy at the Anna Freud Centre in London, Couples Therapy at the Tavistock Institute in London, and in EMDR. They are available on request.

I am an educator and supervisor of CBT practitioners. I have worked as a clinical academic in psychological therapies and designed and delivered post graduate training for CBT practitioners in schools.

I am a safe and responsible practitioner. All that is discussed in session is treated as confidential. I would only break confidentiality in very rare circumstances, namely if I thought that somebody was a danger to themselves or to others.

“It seems like the past few months have brought a lot of clarity to people when thinking about the past and other difficult times they have been through, and I can’t thank you enough for the tools you equipped me with in understanding the anxiety I experience. My OCD checks are almost completely in the past, and I although I do go through periods of anxiety and some depression, I am much more adept at how to face those times. Knowing how to handle an OCD thought or compulsion when it enters my head has improved my life immeasurably. I still remember a lot of the advice and guidance you gave me, and use what I learnt in those CBT sessions every day. 

You’ve made a huge difference to my life, so I imagine that is the case for many other people too.

Wishing you all the best,

Ava”
