Individual one-to-one therapy offers a safe, supportive, and confidential space where individuals can talk openly about matters causing psychological distress or concern. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, low, or simply unsure why things feel difficult, therapy gives you time to explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, thoughts and emotions are gently uncovered behind what an individual is going through, working towards greater clarity, balance, and emotional wellbeing.
​
Dr Neil works in a flexible and collaborative way, adapting therapy to suit you as a person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. He draws on a range of established therapeutic methods to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in your life.

Every relationship goes through challenges. Over time, couples can fall into unhelpful patterns - miscommunication, conflict, distance, or repeated arguments. Couples therapy offers a safe space to understand what’s going on and learn healthier ways to relate to each other.
​
In sessions, the couple works together as the client — not one person being judged or blamed. The therapist supports both partners, helping them communicate more effectively, express emotions safely, understand each other’s needs and perspectives, break negative cycles or patterns, resolve conflict in more productive ways and rebuild trust, closeness and shared goals.
​
This approach draws on systemic therapy, which looks at the relationship as part of a bigger picture. Rather than focusing on who’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, it explores how each person’s fixed thoughts, feelings and behaviours impact the relationship dynamic. With guidance and structured tools, couples can make lasting positive changes both now and for the future.
​
Dr. Neil brings extensive experience supporting couples using this systemic approach. His role is to empower partners with insight and strategies that strengthen their relationship and help them thrive together.

Addictions therapy offers a supportive and non-judgemental space to explore patterns of dependence and develop practical ways to regain control. Together, we focus on building coping skills and tools that help manage urges, reduce harm, and support healthier choices. Stress, environment, relationships, and social pressures often play a powerful role in addictive behaviours, and therapy helps you understand how these factors may be affecting you.
​
Psychological therapy can also help you better understand your relationship with your substance or behaviour of choice and address any underlying emotional or mental health challenges that may be contributing to it. Many people find that looking beneath the surface of addiction brings greater self-compassion and lasting change.
Dr Neil takes a practical, research evidenced and collaborative approach, helping you develop effective strategies for day-to-day challenges whilst also exploring the wider context of your life. Sessions may focus on strengthening motivation, understanding relationship patterns, and supporting long-term maintenance of healthier behaviours — all at a pace that feels manageable and constructive.

Family therapy provides a supportive space to explore the emotional challenges that affect how family members relate to themselves and to one another. When difficulties arise within a family, they are often felt by everyone in different ways. Family therapy helps individuals and families better understand these patterns and work toward healthier communication, stronger connections, and reduced distress.
​
Sessions focus on helping family members express thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words in front of one another. Issues such as loss, shame, insecurity, identity, or long-standing family tensions can quietly shape how people interact. By exploring these experiences together, therapy can help families develop greater understanding, empathy, and more supportive ways of relating.
​
Dr Neil works collaboratively with individuals and families to build self-awareness and emotional insight, while gently exploring how past family experiences may be influencing present relationships. This process can support healing, restore balance, and help family members feel more connected — both to themselves and to one another.

Dr. Neil became a Counselling Psychologist after experiencing, firsthand, how difficult it can be to access emotional support. He was witness to a cultural stigma around mental health that made it hard to access support. With time and research, experience has shown how powerful talking therapy can be. Dr Neil believes deeply in the value of having a trained professional listen, understand, and validate individual experiences in therapy,
Dr. Neil uses a tailored approach, meaning he draws from several well-established therapeutic models. Integrative in his approach, these can include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Systemic therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and Person-Centred therapy. Each session is tailored to the individual and their needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
​
Alongside his training and academic background, Dr. Neil brings rich life experience and a calm, thoughtful presence to his work. He is committed to helping people build emotional resilience and strengthen their sense of identity, purpose, and place in the world. His goal is to support individuals in living with greater confidence, self-acceptance, and personal authenticity.
