A first step without pressure
You don’t need to have the right words before you begin.
You may have been carrying things for a long time. Counselling offers a steady, accepting relationship where you can speak openly, understand what is happening and move at a pace that feels manageable.
I won’t diagnose, judge or tell you what to do. We work together with empathy, honesty and respect for your experience.

Warm, grounded and without judgementMeet Tim
Counselling with someone who understands responsibility.
I’m Tim Dodgson, a qualified person-centred counsellor. Thirty years in policing gave me a deep appreciation of how people can carry responsibility, distress and difficult experiences while appearing to cope on the outside.
In our sessions you can be fully yourself. You choose what feels important to bring, and we explore it together without pressure.
More about me and how I work →“
For years, I coped by isolating myself and keeping everything in. Having Tim as a consistent, safe space each week, somewhere I can finally offload, feel heard and speak openly without judgement, is something I’ve never had before.
