Meet Our Team

I am the Clinical Director of Psyche Therapy Centre. The Psyche Team and I are passionate about providing compassionate treatment and helping others towards psychological wellness. I carry out psychological therapy for a wide range of issues with an integrative approach. I offer evidence-based therapies including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. Over the past ten years, I have worked for organisations, universities, schools and the NHS providing mental wellbeing support. I tailor my approach to help each person deal with their challenges to develop to their full potential.

I am a trainee counselling psychologist carrying out my doctoral training at Glasgow Caledonian University. I have trained in both person-centred therapy (PCT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I have experience working with a range of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I work with clients from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds as well as LGBTQ+ people. I also work with couples.

I understand that sometimes you need support in making sense of your situation or even just a space to be heard. In therapy, I aim to offer a warm and compassionate environment that is free from judgment and will support you in exploring your difficulties and find ways of managing them. I believe it is important for therapy to be a collaborative process and I place you, your needs, and your perspectives at the heart of this. Whether you are looking to work towards a specific goal or are wanting a space to explore your experiences, I will be there to support you through this.

I am a trainee counselling psychologist undertaking my doctoral training at Glasgow Caledonian University. I have trained in person centred therapy (PCT) and have experience in mindfulness and meditation with the aim to provide a safe and genuine space to foster a strong therapeutic relationship focused on you. I have experience working within domestic abuse, victim support, and bereavement services, and have worked with presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma.

I can appreciate how tough it can be to reach out for support and begin to open up about any difficulties you are experiencing but I aim to ensure you will be met with warmth, openness, and my genuine self to work collaboratively towards your goals.

My name is Oliver. I have a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. I am 28 years old, non-binary (they/she), and I identify as queer, asexual and autistic (in no particular order). I work with a variety of mental health concerns, including but not limited to low self-esteem, trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety and depression. I specialise in working with LGBTQ+ and/or neurodiverse individuals, and I am committed to neurodiversity-affirming, anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice. I am an integrative practitioner, meaning that I use different therapeutic approaches to tailor the therapy to each client, because I don’t believe in a one-size-fits all approach for therapy. I ground myself in the Person-Centred approach, and mainly draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and the idea of Plural Selves. As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can be unapologetically yourself and talk about whatever you want. I believe strongly in curating compassion and kindness to yourself and others. My aim is to help clients understand themselves, accept themselves, and support them in their journeys, whatever these may look like.

My goal is to provide a safe and accepting space to help individuals and couples enhance their quality of life. I am an Accredited member of the BACP, and I use an Integrative approach. I apply evidence-based therapies such as Person-Centred Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment Focused Therapy. I work with various challenges but specialise in trauma, addiction, neurodivergence, and relationship issues. I have worked across schools, addiction services, relationship organisations, and trauma-specific services. Using an Integrative approach I have built a unique and varied skill set. I use these to work collaboratively and tailor my approach to best meet the needs of the individual.

Over the past eight years I have worked providing evidence-based practice within both the NHS and the Third Sector as a trauma therapist and general counsellor. On their journeys towards healing, growth, and resilience, I have accompanied adults and young people who have experienced childhood abuse, domestic violence, and war trauma; as well as those facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and prolonged grief. I attained my Postgraduate Diploma with Distinction from the University of Abertay in 2018, and a Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People in 2022. I work within a Pluralistic framework which incorporates a number of different types of therapy that we can draw on as we co-create a way of working together that makes sense to you and meets your needs.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and an experienced integrative psychotherapist with a strong passion for helping my clients improve their lives and become the version of themselves they want to be. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and preferences of each client, drawing from different counselling modalities to ensure the best fit for you. With my calm and relaxed approach, I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively with you to help you make better choices and achieve your desired outcomes. I am enthusiastic about your progress and understand that the therapy journey can be challenging. I will sit alongside you every step of the way as we navigate this journey together.

I qualified as an Art Psychotherapist in 2018 and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, as well as the British Association of Art Therapists. I have worked across various inpatient, community, and trauma services, demonstrating the breadth of my therapeutic practice. In addition to my art psychotherapy training, I have further specialised in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am a member of the EMDR Association UK. My work spans a range of clients, including children, young people, and adults who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders, psychosis, unresolved trauma, personality disorders, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties, Tourette’s syndrome, and organic brain injuries. I believe in a therapeutic approach that is both gentle and dual in nature, with the therapeutic alliance forming the foundation of any successful intervention. It is truly a privilege to be part of someone’s healing journey.

I am an experienced EMDR therapist with 25 years of practice working with trauma. I am a senior accredited practitioner experienced in working with children, young people, adults, and couples. I have provided counselling for diverse clinical issues and have offered clinical supervision across the country since 2011. My approach is person-centric and relational, emphasising the therapeutic relationship’s importance, and focusing on warmth, trust, and respect. I intend to create an empowering alliance with the client, prioritizing autonomy and working collaboratively. Informed by psychodynamic theory, I pay attention to attachment patterns and relational themes to facilitate healing and transformation.

I am a Systemic Family Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist with a background in nursing, coaching, person-centred counselling, bodywork and craniosacral therapy. I have 20+ years of experience working with people in private, statutory and third-sector settings. I work with young people, adults, and couples with various issues, especially around trauma and relationships. I work short-term and long-term and offer team practices/training to groups and organisations. My approach is grounded in person-centred, relational, systemic, attachment and polyvagal theories. I provide a safe space to explore difficulties, break old habits, and navigate life and I will feel privileged to work with you.

I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with extensive experience helping clients navigate challenges such as stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, PTSD, and trauma. I work with diverse groups, including LGBTQ+ and disabled communities, and provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space to explore your concerns at your own pace.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on multiple therapeutic approaches, tailoring each session to your specific needs. Some of the methods I use include CBT, EMDR, person-centred therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and many others. This flexibility allows us to design a bespoke therapeutic journey that best supports your growth and healing. I’m passionate about understanding your story and supporting you in achieving your goals.

He brings a lot of love and energy to our practitioners and hope he can be a support for you too. He will not be in the practice most days and if you are concerned about him being there for any reason then please just let us know!
