I work as an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist in a doctor’s surgery and in private practice. Most of my clients are referred by the medical profession, presenting with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown, post traumatic stress, panic, phobias, chronic pain, obsessive compulsive disorder, low self-esteem, chronic fatigue (ME) or simply wanting someone to talk to.
In the sections below, I've included more information on my qualifications and way of working, together with links to some of the relevant publications, documents and presentations I’ve completed in recent months.
To make an appointment with me, or for more information or to make comments on any topic, please make contact via the telephone numbers or email below.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
John
P.S. I also work via the telephone/Skype with clients anywhere in the world.

I use a blend of traditional counselling/psychotherapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Hypnotherapy, with extensive use of Energy Psychology (principally Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)) as a powerful enhancement tool.
I am a qualified member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and my practice is informed by BACP’s Ethical Framework. I am also qualified at Trainer level with the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques (AAMET) and as a Master Hypnotist by the Proudfoot School of Clinical Hypnosis and as a practitioner of Matrix Reimprinting.
Over the years I’ve found that many of my clients’ presenting issues have a strong relationship element, either directly causing the presenting issue or as a side effect from it. I therefore see support to clients’ relationships as critical to almost all therapy. I do occasionally work with couples, but I mostly work with individuals.

A huge thank you to everyone who gave me such encouraging feedback on my interview for the 2010 Tapping World Summit in Feb/Mar (see below). I am now compiling the material into a new book, which will also include contributions from a number of internationally acclaimed experts in the field. Do please make contact if you would like to hear more about this project.
“Out of all of the speakers I had the most profound healing that came from your sharing about relationships. I love your beautiful spirit and quiet calm manner in which you give out your gift of love to all. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.” Joyce Robertson, USA
I was thrilled to be one of only 18 people (including 4 from UK) invited to take part in this year's Tapping World Summit.
My chosen topic was 'Building Thriving and Loving Relationships', and in an hour long interview with Jessica Ortner, we discussed and tapped together on many key relationship issues, drawing on principles from the great spiritual traditions.

This presentation covers the vital importance of being able to 'get yourself out of the way' when using EFT, whether on your own or when working with clients. The handout provides background to some of the concepts covered in the presentation. STOP PRESS: Unfortunately I had to cancel my presentation at the last minute due to illness, but I thought I'd leave my handout here as I plan to develop it into a book at some point in the future.

This is a groundbreaking new book on EFT which I co-edited and compiled with Pamela Bruner in 2009, with more than 500 pages of innovative ideas on EFT and tapping by 27 internationaly acclaimed experts, including articles by 22 of the 29 EFT Masters from around the world.
I'm biased of course, but I see this as a 'must have' book for any regular user of tapping and/or EFT.

This article gives some background to my approach to working with emotionally committed relationships using EFT/tapping, and is presented in self-help format. Prior knowledge of tapping is advisable.
