About Ian
He draws on client-centred ways of working to place the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking and routines. For people affected by trauma and grief, he brings in trauma-focused methods and grief-specific support developed through several years’ practice.
Clients can expect short-term goal setting alongside room for deeper issues when needed. Sessions include planning small experiments, noticing patterns in thinking and behaviour, and building gradual routines that fit everyday life. Ian aims to make changes feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Ian holds the BACP and the NCPS credentials and has six years of clinical experience. His background includes work within grief and bereavement since 2018 and practice with brief cognitive behavioural approaches in the UK health system.
He works in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions to stress, anxiety and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses clear exercises and small behavioural steps to tackle panic, compulsions, unhelpful thinking and low mood.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and reduce the way those memories shape current reactions. It is useful for type 1 and type 2 trauma and for those struggling with ongoing symptoms after abuse or loss.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life, then agree on a plan together. This collaborative decision may shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around childcare, school runs or work breaks, and avoiding travel time. If you need quieter surroundings, less visual demand or a shorter check-in, these practical needs can be discussed when arranging sessions. The biography does not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking.
