Talking Works

I’ve been in and around Hull for almost quarter of a century now. I’ve stayed for a reason - and that’s mostly been about the connections I have made with the people in my life.

With roots in the nightclub industry and beyond into my psychotherapy career, I believe in the people of Hull. Our capacity to come together, to collaborate, to love, and to be joyful - even when times are hard (and they often are around here).

That’s why I want to support the One Hull, One Heart initiative. I’m sharing this logo (OUR logo) to spread the love. And to remind everyone that there is good news around.

I share this thinking of the many good news stories amongst my 3500 hour journey as a therapist - where I have helped so many people to get back on track, to find their autonomy, to find some happiness, and to move forward past some of their challenges.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. I hope that 2026 brings you peace and happiness.

I’ve probably not been as active on social media as I’d have liked to have been in 2025 - it’s been one busy year.

However, I do want to take time to wish all of my clients and followers a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

I hope you get a little time to recharge your batteries.

Bag a place on my caseload...

I have a couple of places available for new therapy clients.

I can help you face your difficulties, empty your mind of the things that worry you on a daily basis, and help you improve your emotional wellbeing. This will allow you to live a happier and more positive life.

To my wonderful East Yorkshire therapist friends and colleagues - if you’re free on Saturday Morning, why not come down to the rooftop space at Humber Street Gallery? We’re meeting at 11am for coffee, cake and conversation.

No agenda - just a chance to connect and share.

Myself and Deborah would love to see you.

21/06/2025 - 11am - 64 Humber Street, Hull.

Words can’t describe how proud I am to be an organiser and sponsor of yesterday’s Humber Counselling and Psychotherapy Conference.

A rich and wonderful day of learning, but also a chance to bring our fantastic therapy community together.

Yesterday was an emotional event to say the least, and it was such a privilege to be a part of it.

Correct ✅

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?

Today I have mostly been working on Cinderella’s Racket System with some super curious psychotherapy students at in Hull.

A great way to spend a Saturday!

Cats of Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.

Honey is clearly a huge Eric Berne fan!

Or could it just be her dad preparing for a training weekend about psychological games at Ellesmere Counselling and Psychotherapy Training this weekend?!

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can be a fascinating insight into personality, when administered by a well trained, ethical professional. It helps us to understand our preferences, and spot preferences in others.

Myers Briggs focuses on preference pairs including Introversion/Extraversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving.

Tonight I will be holding a discovery session with one of my therapy clients and I am excited to see what will emerge.

If this is something that interests you on a personal level, or that you feel might be a good team day for your staff, get in touch for more information.

It's time to paws my client list - I mean PAUSE, of course 😆

After a number of new enquiries this week, my client list is now full.

If you have a consultation booked with me, your place has been saved.

I am not expecting to re-open my client list until at least March 2025, so I am not operating a waiting list. If you would like a recommendation of an alternative practitioner who can help you, I am always happy to assist.

Thank you for all of the new enquiries, and for your interest in working with me.
