Most people who reach me are high-functioning - outwardly successful, inwardly struggling. They arrive knowing something needs to change, and suspecting that the right kind of help could change everything. They are usually right.

About Guy

The clarity you've been looking for starts here.

I began my clinical career in 2015 and now work exclusively in private practice. Over the years, I've worked with people from every walk of life. Everyone's circumstances are different, but I've seen how easily low mood, anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, intolerance of uncertainty and the pressure to keep everything together can become part of everyday life.

Many of the people I work with now are high-achieving professionals who have spent years managing these difficulties on their own. They are often capable, conscientious and outwardly successful, yet find that the strategies that once helped them cope are no longer enough.

Areas of Focus

Where I do
my best work.

CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach - but structure alone does not create change. I bring 10+ years of clinical depth to each of these areas, and I am specific rather than general in how I treat them.

01
OCD

Specialist ERP-based treatment for all OCD subtypes, including contamination, harm, and intrusive thought presentations. One of my primary areas of clinical expertise.

OCD therapy →
02
Anxiety Disorders

GAD, health anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder and phobias. Evidence-based protocols tailored to the specific anxiety presentation - not a generic approach.

Anxiety therapy →
03
Perfectionism

Clinical perfectionism that has crossed from asset into obstacle. Particularly common in senior professionals and high-achievers navigating pressure from multiple directions.

04
Burnout & High Performance

When you're used to performing at a high level, it can be difficult to recognise when the demands have become unsustainable. You may still be getting things done, while feeling increasingly exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable or unable to switch off.

Read about burnout →
05
Depression

Behavioural activation, cognitive restructuring and relapse prevention for clinical depression, including depression comorbid with anxiety or burnout.

06
ADHD Support

CBT adapted for adults with ADHD - managing dysregulation, procrastination, and emotional reactivity using evidence-based, ADHD-specific techniques.

07
Trauma & PTSD

Specialist trauma therapy using EMDR and trauma-focused CBT. I work with single-incident trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD - helping patients process and move beyond experiences that have become stuck.

Trauma & PTSD therapy →
08
EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - an evidence-based therapy recommended in NICE guidelines for PTSD. I am an accredited EMDR practitioner with extensive experience across a range of trauma presentations.

How I Work

A clear process.
No ambiguity.

01 -
Initial Consultation

A 50-minute assessment session where I listen carefully, ask precise clinical questions, and form a clear picture of what you're experiencing and what treatment would look like.

02 -
Formulation

I develop a personalised CBT formulation - a clinical map of your difficulties, their origins, and the mechanisms maintaining them. This is the foundation of everything that follows.

03 -
Structured Treatment

Weekly 50-minute sessions, online or in person. CBT is active, structured, and collaborative. Most courses run 8-20 sessions depending on presentation and goals.

04 -
Relapse Prevention

The final phase consolidates your progress and builds the tools to maintain it. Good CBT ends with you needing less of it - and knowing how to use what you've learned for life.

"He helped me understand, for the first time, not just what I was doing - but why. That distinction changed everything."

Patient Perspectives

What people say
after treatment.

★★★★★

"It's quite hard to describe how much you've helped me. I feel like I now know how to live without being blown around by the winds of my OCD. It was such a life-changing journey."

Former patient, OCD treatment

★★★★★

"When I first came to see you, I felt like my anxiety was running my life. I didn't really think that could change but looking back now, it really has. I feel more confident, more relaxed, and much more like myself again."

Former patient, anxiety and perfectionism

★★★★★

"Before we started, it felt like my past was always just beneath the surface. I could function, but just barely. The memories haven't disappeared, but I'm remembering them differently now. They no longer dictate how I live my life. For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I'm looking forwards instead of backwards."
