I am also an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), further ensuring the highest standard of care and ethical practice along with ICO registration.

Many of the men I work with are struggling quietly with gambling or other addictive behaviours. On the surface, things may appear fine, but underneath there can be pressure, shame, or a growing sense that things are slipping out of control.

I offer a space where you can talk openly, without judgement, and begin to understand what’s really driving these patterns—so that change can happen in a way that genuinely lasts.

I have experience working across a range of addictions, including gambling and compulsive behaviours, as well as the impact these can have on relationships and family life. I also support clients with anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the underlying patterns that often sit beneath addictive cycles.

My approach is grounded and straightforward, focused on helping you make sense of what’s going on—not just managing symptoms, but understanding the deeper drivers behind them.

Where support for children or families is needed, I can connect you with a trusted art psychotherapist who specialises in this work, ensuring the right support is in place across the whole system.

I offer a free 15-minute call so you can get a sense of whether I’m the right fit for you.

To get started, I invite you to reach out to me at 07790 339517 or email thegardenpractice98@gmail.com to schedule an initial session. During this session, we will discuss your needs, goals, and expectations from counselling. If you feel comfortable continuing, we can then schedule regular sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

Warm regards,

John
