Dr John Hills MBACP (Senior Accred) - Integrative Psychotherapist

For many people, therapy begins at a turning point — the end of one chapter or the beginning of another. As the existential psychotherapist Martin Adams put it, People come to therapy when the story they’ve been telling about their lives has become too small.

A little bit about me. I'm a psychotherapist (in practice since 2011) as well as a teacher and trainer at a sector-leading psychotherapy institute. I have a specialist interest in the existential challenges that we will grapple with at turning points in our lives. These might include:

• Feeling like life has become too small, too limiting.
• Or questioning choices made.
• A feeling of just coasting, being on autopilot, or of having to pretend.
• Addictive behaviours that feel like a distraction.
• Self-sabotage.
• Feeling fated to play out the same patterns over and over.
• A feeling of not knowing oneself.
• Aloneness and loneliness.
• Unhappiness at work or considering a career change.
• Bereavement and loss.
• Spiritual concerns.
• Fear of death and the search for meaning.

Sometimes we find ourselves pulled in different directions, caught in a familiar pattern, or turning something over in our minds without getting any further. Therapy is a place to stay with these experiences long enough to understand more of what is at work within them. Together, we can bring into clearer view the feelings, meanings and motivations that shape your life, including those that are difficult to acknowledge or put into words. Through this exploration, new possibilities for choice, connection and participation in life may begin to emerge.

All individual sessions are charged at £75.
