About me and my therapy practice

Hey my name is Brendan!  

I’m an Integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of theories to provide a personalised approach tailored to unique needs and circumstances. I believe the relationship between us to be the most important element in providing support in times of distress.

Whether you seek therapy for anxiety or depression, or wish to learn about healthy relationship dynamics, or aim to boost self-confidence and body image while reducing social comparisons, I'm here to support you at your pace, we'll work to reduce anxiety, elevate mood, enhance self-esteem, and foster positive, rewarding relationships. Together, we'll make life more manageable and enjoyable.

My job is not to tell you what to do with your life or find solutions to your situation, but I am here to understand your world, walk along with you with your experiences, and grow with you. If you decide to take the first step in your mental well-being journey, I would be happy to join you.  

One of the reasons why I chose to become a therapist as I wanted to support others; my dream job growing up was to be a guidance counsellor. I wanted to support young adults to navigate teenhood and to achieve what dreams they had.

The biggest joy I get from client work is watching clients grow, and I do not think there is any better feeling than seeing a person finding themselves in therapy, seeing clients gain confidence, and gain a better understanding of self.   I have not decided on specialism as I’d be limiting myself; being able to work with different groups helps me to grow as a person too.

I am committed to providing you with a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for challenging conversations. I believe that counselling works best when there is sufficient trust between the counsellor and client, this is why I offer a free initial call to see how we could work together as your safety is important to me.

If you feel like you are ready for support or just want to chat about options, I am here for you.
