About John Ridley Therapy
I understand that you are likely reaching out because you feel a need for someone to support you in working through some difficulties or challenges in life. These may be personal, professional, to do with relationships, or arise from things that have happened in the past. Always coming from a starting point of empathy, compassion and acceptance, I offer evidence-based psychotherapeutic counselling and coaching. I will be creative in my thinking, adapting to your needs and preferred ways of exploring and understanding. This is informed by rigorous training, the latest research and my own experience of what works.
Counselling
Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can't put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked - early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate the progess that you are making.
Other clients have quite specific difficulties that I am experienced and trained to help you with. These include panic, phobias, OCD, sleep problems and some forms of trauma. I can also help if you find you have difficulty tackling your automatic negative thinking or are struggling to resolve specific problems that are causing you distress.
Whatever issues you are facing, I will work to relieve your distress in the most effective way possible. I work integratively, drawing upon a range of disciplines and techniques. My core training is person-centred (Humanistic). I trained at the University of Exeter in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mental health assessment and psychological wellbeing. I may also draw upon Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic approaches.
Coaching
I take a therapeutic approach to coaching, building on my own leadership experience in business change consultancy, finance, entrepreneurship and education. I tailor to each client, for example often combining aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.
