Mr. John Lincoln
Mr. John Lincoln
I work intensively with men who have difficulties in their relation to themselves and to others, particularly those whose early life experiences have had an impact on their development, feelings, and functioning. I work with men who have suffered complex trauma and abuse and can help with the consequences of those experiences. I can help those with addictions and/or destructive relationships and/or behaviour. I have significant experience of working with men in conflict with their gender or sexuality.

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement). From 2017 to 2019 I set up and ran a counselling service with London charity Positive21 (HIV). I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.
Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.
After that I work online via “Psychology Today Sessions” (encrypted video service) each session lasts 50 minutes.
The model I use is Gestalt/Humanistic theory.

Mr. Neil Jordan
Mr. Neil Jordan
I’m a Registered psychotherapist with the UKCP and have run my private practice full time for over 20 years. I am a Relational Psychotherapist so I work alongside my clients to explore issues that affect how they feel in their current lives and relationships as well as exploring the origins of these issues which sometimes stem from traumatic events in our developmental years. My goal is to help clients clarify what they want from life, explore what is holding them back and move through to deep and lasting change. I work with a wide range of presenting issues. Over the last 10 years I have worked with professional sportsmen and women and supported them through a range of issues which they encounter in their high profile, pressurised, daily lives.
As a man I appreciate how difficult it can be to speak about how we feel and I also know the benefits of taking this risk having had my own counselling and psychotherapy for many years.

Whatever your hopes of therapy and life, I will work alongside you to get things moving in the direction you prefer. I adapt my approach, drawing on multiple models, ideas and research findings, to try to create a good fit for you and use your ongoing feedback to help me to do this. I consider relationships to be an important part of how we interact with life, whether that be current relationships with others, key relationships in the past or our relationship with ourselves or problems which come along.

I am a Systemic Psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families. Many of my clients are males between the ages of 25-55 from all walks of life. I am near the City of London financial sector and many of my clients present with work related stress, anxiety and depression. I have also worked with OCD, bi-polar disorder; panic attacks; and eating disorders as well as PTSD and complex trauma and how this can manifest in people’s lives, particularly in relying on substances like alcohol & drugs. I have quite a lot of experience of dealing with suicidal ideation and know that life can quickly feel quite overwhelming.

I am a person-centered counselor with over 10 years experience in public and corporate sectors as well as my own counselling practice.
I work together with clients in exploring what is going on for them currently (or has done in the past) in order to help them gain clarity and feel better in themselves as a result.

I work in a Person-Centred approach, which means offering and holding a space of understanding, acceptance and authenticity, that is ultimately led by you. It’s an approach that I feel attuned to due to its philosophy, its attempts to address power and how it can facilitate people in their process and journey of change, whatever that may be. I am interested in concepts of masculinity and the complex feelings of mixed heritage being born into a family with a background of different nationalities.

Dr. Paul Lewis
Dr. Paul Lewis
I offer a collaborative approach to therapy ranging from clear advice and evidence-based techniques using CBT to a counselling-informed way of working, creating space to express and understand thoughts and feelings.
We will work together to understand and map out a way forward to deal with the problems you face.

Robynne Wood

I work using the Person-Centred (or Humanistic) approach, which is often referred to as the “how does that make you feel?” style of therapy. However, a more accurate description would be I focus on building a supportive relationship where we can view the world from your perspective, and we work together to make changes that you want. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and have the ability to solve your own problems but recognise that sometimes an “outsiders” support and perspective can be helpful. I aim to create a non-judgmental safe space to explore your world using empathy, honesty and unconditional positive regard helping us to work through the thoughts, feelings and issues that are impacting you.
