Counselling support for anxiety, stress, long term illness, cancer, trauma and life transitions.

It’s never too late to be what you might have been

George Eliot

what is stopping you?

Can you identify the causes of anxiety and stress in your life? 

Do your fears prevent you from being the person you want to be?

Have your lived experiences and life history left you feeling alone in your thoughts and feelings?

What are the changes that you are desperately trying to make yet feel unable to move forward with?

It Can Be Different For you

Together we will:

Learn to discover your resilience by focusing on discovering your purpose

Have faith in your ability to cope with change by learning and practicing different ways of thinking

Find ways to break out of the repetitive cycles of thinking about the past and to extend your thinking into the present moment

I work with people who are struggling

Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety & Stress

Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or unrelenting worries, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with this. For many experiencing anxiety, fear, and stress, therapy can be the most effective option. It treats more than just the symptoms of the problem by helping you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, look at situations in new, less frightening ways, and develop better coping and problem-solving skills.

Illness & Trauma

Illness & Trauma

As a long-term cancer survivor, I can empathise with those facing serious illnesses. A cancer diagnosis is a life-changing moment that creates uncertainty, as well as the chronic physical symptoms that accompany both the disease and treatment. It’s natural to experience anxiety, stress, or depression during this challenging period. In navigating their cancer journey, I support clients in exploring their feelings, developing coping strategies, and fostering resilience during and after their cancer treatment.

Life Transitions

Life Transitions

Navigating life's ups and downs can be tough, especially during transitions. Therapy offers support for emotions like sadness, fear, and anxiety, helping individuals manage them effectively. Developing emotional intelligence is key to facing uncertainty. I provide a safe space for adults to explore these roots and understand their symptoms. Through reflection and our therapeutic relationship, we uncover relational patterns, aiming not just to alleviate symptoms but to foster lasting wellness.

about Vincent

Gender & sexuality counsellor and coach

I am passionately curious about how the experience of our early lives together with our life circumstances and events influences our sense of who we are and how we relate to others.

My work with clients is to understand how and why difficulties emerge and the ways we go about protecting the self from painful feelings or trauma. I believe the complex work of psychotherapy, enables individuals to question carefully and in doing so helps remove the obstacles that obscure an individual’s vital core and restrict their well-being.

As a compassionate psychotherapist and cancer survivor, I provide support to individuals navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis. I understand through my own lived experience the profound impact that a cancer journey can have on one’s emotional well-being.

I have worked across a wide range of clinical settings; NHS, university, schools and in private practice following a successful corporate career.

I gained a Masters in Psychodynamic Practice from the University of Oxford and was awarded a distinction for my research.

I currently hold membership with the BACP, UPCA and UKCP professional bodies.
