Hello, my name is Julian. I am a qualified integrative counsellor, have a BA(hons) degree in philosophy and psychology, am insured and am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Prior to working as a therapist, I have worked as a peer-mentor, a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) teaching assistant, a residential support worker supporting vulnerable young people and as an assisted living care worker. My approach is based in a friendly and open attitude to those who I am supporting, which draws from personal ethics based in care and responsibility. As well as these personal ethics, my practice works in accordance with the BACP ethical framework.

I offer ecotherapeutic counselling, to provide a holistic therapeutic experience for clients. This is based on an integration of the ecotherapeutic models of shinrin yoku and wild therapy with the psychotherapeutic approaches of person centered therapy, existential therapy, gestalt therapy, psychosynthesis and transactional analysis - I can also include mindfulness exercises and/or philosophical therapy in our work, if these would be useful to you. This is to seek to provide a therapy experience that meets the unique individuality of the client/you and their/your life experience with regards to your being in the wholeness of the world.
