Psychological Therapist
Hubert is an experienced and compassionate psychological therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience in the NHS. He specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). He provides evidence-based therapy tailored to individual needs, offering a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment.
Hubert works with adults from diverse backgrounds, supporting them through complex emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges. His practice includes helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a sense of being stuck, always with the reassurance that no one has to face these struggles alone.
Approach to Therapy
Hubert’s therapeutic style is collaborative, integrative, and deeply person-centred. Drawing from a wide range of evidence-based models, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, and CFT, he creates a personalised and empowering therapy experience. His work goes beyond symptom management, focusing instead on the whole person—their experiences, values, strengths, and the barriers that hinder growth. He supports clients in developing resilience, processing past experiences, and fostering lasting positive change.
