I am a qualified licenced counsellor based in UK and I offer a worldwide service.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, work related stress, motivation, addictions, abuse and bereavement as well as many other areas. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with empathy, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I work as an integrative therapist that uses a person/client centred approach as well as the relevant parts of a variety of theories to make a service that is unique for you and NOT a “One size fits all”
We will work together to help you move forwards in a way that is comfortable for you and we can discover together the tools and coping strategies that will work for you.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I am experienced in both face to face and remote therapies including video, telephone and live chat.
Please contact me to arrange and appointment.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Mr. Underwood has played a huge role in getting the progress started with my healing journey. My emotions seemed to be scrambled and he helped me sort my issues out so that I could deal with each of them. Through our counseling sessions I was finally able to forgive some wrongs so that I could heal and move on. It wasn’t easy but with his support, there has been progress and growth.
