"MeWe therapy"

Neil Todd

Existential Counselling Psychologist.

(Doctorate by profession studies: Existential Psychotherapy & Counselling (pending); PGDip (L7/MA equivalent): Existential Psychotherapy & Counselling; Foundation Diploma: Existential Psychotherapy & Counselling; PGCE, BA Honours).

...

"One of my fears doing this was, would my therapist be able to understand my culture and faith? Neil didn't need to understand my culture or faith, but he was able to make me feel comfortable to speak about my experiences. I don't know how he did it, but it worked for me."

Neil Todd: therapist

“Life is nothing until it is lived. It is we who give it meaning, and value is nothing more than the meaning we give it”.

(Jean-Paul Sartre).

Unhappiness, Changes, Choice-Making, Anxiety, Loss, Loneliness, Identity, Direction, Meaningfulness:

How to navigate these and other challenges is the focus of existential therapy and my work with you.

Rather than diagnosing you, or offering advice or exercises, we dialogue and seek to discover your unique responses to your concerns.

I aim to meet you with a sense of your unique life experiences, individuality - not as a type fitting to conditions and pathologies.

I listen and “tune-in” to you, your unique values and experiences.

...

Navigating:

Changes

Choices

Career Transitions

Anxiety

Your Values

...

The above may resonate with your concerns.

Our dialogues are your opportunity to explore and find greater clarity, inspiration, confidence and energy for what is important to you.

It is an opportunity to develop the life you want.

...

"Thank you for providing a safe space to explore my mind out loud and not just have my thoughts trapped in my head. I have really enjoyed our sessions together."

“MeWe”

journeying

“I am because we are, since we are, therefore I am. I am because of who we all are”.

(ethic of Ubuntu).

"MeWe" is a metaphor for our existential therapeutic space, which embraces relational "being-in-the-world" and encounters you as you are, never as an object needing to be fixed.

I encourage meaningful exploration of your experiences, concerns and challenges, no matter what they may be.

Therapy is sometimes associated with soothing crises and alleviating suffering. Sometimes therapy is sought in times of confusion, conflict, anxiety or hardships. "MeWe" endeavours to explore with you how to navigate your unique life challenges.

Existential Therapy here becomes an opportunity to “look again” with fresh eyes and step beyond any notion of disorder, impairment or dysfunction.

What if nothing is wrong as such, and how to live differently or better becomes your focus?

Exploring your distress or confusion and what is important to you now through dialogue is the essence of our work.

It is effective, possible and long-lasting.

This path isn’t always comfortable. How we reveal our values, choices and limitations; how we manage unpredictability and anxiety of change, difference, and inevitable transitions is profound. Change is the beating heart of our therapeutic space.

“MeWe therapy” offers you the opportunity to talk safely and confidentially through concerns, anxieties and dilemmas together.

I will work alongside you existentially and phenomenologically with my complete care and attention.

My varied studies and practical work as a therapist are focused on navigating anxiety, change, choice, retirement, sporting transition experiences - particularly all levels of men's and women's rugby for my doctoral studies - as well as artistic and professional performance-related concerns.

“MeWe” is my privilege and our challenge.

...

"Even though it's therapy online for me ... It feels like a partnership developed."

...

"Thinking back on my experience with therapy, I am so proud of how far I've come. One thing for sure I know is that I wouldn't have been able to get to this point of looking deep into my emotions, thoughts, feelings and experiences without my amazing therapist Neil."

You: client

You are here for many unique reasons. Perhaps life moves in a confusing direction, where your place and how you navigate that place is unclear and troubling.

Perhaps traumatic events have occurred and leave you lost, depressed, closed-off, fragile, anxious and regaining a fulfilled, vibrant life feels impossible.

Life, loss, anxiety, endings, heart-wrench, change, choices, confusion, loneliness, isolation, lack of fulfilment or confidence may often seem mountains too vague or enormous to manage.

Likewise, your explorations of your unique differences and values, identity, sexuality, gender, race, and ethnicity, too, may also bring you to this space.

Opening to yourself may be discovered or renewed through our existential therapeutic dialogues.

Confidence and changed horizons appear as you explore your values and what really matters to you.

Like journeying “home”, finding or rediscovering your voice might be challenging, frustrating, eye-opening, anxiety-making, thought-provoking, fun or possibly forbidding.

You will know when to begin, where to go and when to finish.

Life’s paradoxes and contradictions become apparent and rather than being avoided, can be embraced and learned to live with differently.

You have arrived at this space.

You may have explored other therapies or none.

But you have already made important choices to be here now …

So here we are.

...

"I know words are not enough, but I truly want to say thank you from my heart to Neil."
