about me

It’s not about me, it’s about you but……

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about Common Sense Therapy and to see how it could be the solution for you.

I’ve had an interest in ‘matters of the mind’ for over 25 years, having decided to study hypnosis, which in those days was still associated with the ‘black arts’, on a part time basis at a now amalgamated college on the South Coast of England. This was before the days of the hypnotherapy celebrities of today but it laid the foundations of a long standing interest in the power of our own mind and began my training which has been added to over two decades.

Psychotherapy/counselling/hypnotherapy/coaching is at an interesting point in it’s evolution right now. There is more and more information available every day along with new therapies, new solutions and fresh thinking. Everyday, I aim to learn or research something new, attend regular seminars in all forms of training to enable me to extend the solutions I offer. I keep in touch with the world outside of ‘therapy’, with health and charitable projects to avoid ‘over analysis paralysis’.

It’s very easy when talking about the mind and behaviour for it to become unnecessarily complicated. I’m not a believer in over-complicating anything atall and this is the basis that I work from. Simple, straightforward and with results at the end, hopefully all achieved with not too much pain and with a healthy sense of humour.

I look forward to hearing from you. If you are not sure what type of therapy will suit you best from what I offer, please just give me a call and we can spend 10 or so minutes examining your options. My number is 0778 608 2463. If you reach an answering machine, please leave a message and I WILL get back to you.
