*I now offer home visits! Please contact me for availability. 

*I am also now offering Walk and Talk therapy sessions. Due to popular demand, I now offer Walk and Talk therapy sessions on Anglesey (Benllech/Moelfre area). Because of travel and logistics, these sessions are 1hr 15min as compared to the  standard 50 min. in-office visits. 

I believe wholeheartedly in the effectiveness of talk therapy. The science behind the brain chemistry of the human brain and how it affects our behaviours is noteworthy and interesting. However, it is only part of the story. The use of anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs in more severe cases, can help some people but these chemical interventions treat only the symptoms of depression, anxiety and feeling sad. My way of working together with you goes straight to the source. I acknowledge every part of your experience of being human including body chemistry, behaviours, social dynamics, and if applicable, your spiritual dimension.

I've found that the beginning of finding the source of many mental health challenges begins with understanding your past, whether that be adverse childhood experiences (see John Bowlby) or trauma from anytime in your life. Talking about these things is rarely easy, but it is where we must begin to get to the source of your mental health challenges. After this we begin to work on the often negative effects of future thinking, overthinking and or catastrophic thinking.

The human mind is capable of great things! On the other end of the spectrum, it is capable of chaos and confusion. Most people today struggle with either living too much in the past or future. Over-active minds are what feed anxiety and depression and can leave us feeling powerless!

Counselling helps by making you more aware of your thoughts, and with concerted efforts you can bring your busy minds back under control to help make you feel more grounded and self-aware.

Finally, I focus with sincerity on you reaching your therapeutic goals. In addition, I will do my best to help you develop the emotional intelligence you need to deal with your mental health challenges. I will also give you the tools and skills you need to independently care for your mental health. By the time you have left my care, you will have the self-confidence and self-awareness to handle anything that life can throw at you.

I offer Online and face to face sessions.

Testimonials

"I was apprehensive at first but in pleasant peaceful surroundings I was able to talk and work through my feelings both now and in the past. I was comfortable and felt safe and have benefitted enormously from my sessions. Talking to a complete stranger is easier than talking to someone you know and I was offered plenty of food for thought"

Eileen Bisby 

"There are so many things that I could say about Greg and what he has done to help me change my life but here are some of them. When I came to Greg for counselling I was on a lot of medication for fibromyalgia and for depression, I decided that I didn’t want this, and through counselling and dealing with the trauma, that I believed lay behind my illness, I came off them. Greg supported me, and he gave me a place where I felt safe enough to speak the unspeakable. He consistently heard me and skilfully guided me within a relationship of absolute acceptance, and I neverfelt judged. This enabled me to deal with past trauma that seemed unsurmountable to me, and he kept me safe throughout this very frightening and painful process. Some things cannot be gone through alone, and I am so pleased that I chose Greg to help me."
