Ian Francis

Counsellor

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, negative thoughts, fears and difficult emotions?

Do you have low self-esteem?

Are you struggling with addictions?

Have you experienced trauma?

If the answer is yes to any of the above, or if you would just like a safe and confidential place to talk to another human being about what’s going on for you, I’d love to help.

I am a person centred counsellor and have been working in the field of addiction and mental health for many years. I am also a person who has experienced addiction, depression and anxiety first hand and I can honestly say that they are not a part of my experience any more. 

I also specialise in support around sleep issues as I know all too well how this can impact your life.

I have experience working with people who have survived physical and sexual abuse and I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for people to talk about their childhoods and past events.

I have worked in a variety of ways in my role as a therapist in substance misuse and behavioural addictions clinics, specialising in many aspects of mental health. As a result, I work with a variety of different modalities including CBT, motivational speaking, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)  and psychosynthesis techniques as well as existentially.

From seeing such a variety of clients I understand how individual each client’s needs are. 

I am an Accredited Member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and adhere to their Code of Ethics.
