Stephen Murphy

I am a Person Centred counsellor.  This means I work with you to support whatever your challenges are.  

Whilst I specialise in counselling Men, it does not mean I do not work with women or want to work with women.  

I believe being a man as a therapist offers a different approach to therapy than people have experienced.  

I do not offer advice in my sessions, my role is to support you and assist you in what the challenges you have are.  Working your way through those challenges at your pace and in your time is essential to a positive experience of therapy.

I offer counselling online and each session lasts for 50 minutes.  In the therapy world they call that a therapeutic hour. 

Once you have decided to try counselling, we agree a time and date which is convenient for both of us to have a regular session.  We discuss what you want from it and we take it from there.  If at any point you feel that you no longer want therapy, there is no commitment to carry on, we simply stop.

The first session can be daunting for some or for others a breeze.  So it is very open, very calm and very much about getting to know each other.  Trust is not built in 20 minutes so it is about starting the process and seeing where it takes you
