I am a qualified, accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

 

Register number: 389871​​

I'm Cal

 

I am an ADHD/autistic counsellor specialising in Alcohol & Substance Abuse, Anger Management, Anxiety & Depression, and Communication Issues. I have a neuro-affirming approach to working with ADHD and Autistic clients.

 

I trained to become a counsellor after first being a client myself, and I know what it feels like to take that step. For over 8 years, I have worked with a diverse caseload of clients from around the world and have facilitated online, face to face, outdoor, and group therapy.

 

As a pluralistic practitioner, I believe that different people work in different ways, and it is my responsibility to adapt to your needs.​​

​​My Approach

 

I am experienced and trained in the application of a range of therapeutic techniques, tools, and theory, integrating Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Person-Centred therapy, Psychoanalytic therapies such as Transactional Analysis, and Psychoeducation. I have experience in facilitating group therapy, one to one therapy, remote therapy, outdoor therapy, and also the therapeutic use of media such as tabletop role-playing games.

Accountability, adaptability and transparency are fundamental to my practice. I will regularly check my understanding, and welcome feedback to ensure a safe and autonomous therapeutic experience that is right for you.

Therapeutic Gaming

 

I have also drawn from psychotherapeutic theory to create my own gaming system, allowing for an engaging therapeutic experience in a tabletop role-playing game format.

 

If you would like to know more about this, or if you are a fellow practitioner who would like to enquire about using my gaming system, then please feel free to reach out.

“Usually I'm a very closed person and it takes me a while to open up. From the very first session, Cal created such a safe space that allowed me to say what's exactly on my mind. For the first time in a while I felt like I'm being understood and that speaks volumes. I couldn't recommend Cal enough!"
