He’s a capable but not infallible guide, helping you to recover your own aliveness and to connect with the wisdom that has come from your life experience. Spencer is willing to go to challenging places. He has worked hard to understand himself. He’s come a long way and considers himself to still be on the path of self-discovery.

In addition to Spencer’s private counselling practice he has worked within the NHS, as well as charities supporting people with various difficulties, including schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder and autism. Spencer has studied many personal development practices both east and west, ancient and modern. He has a decades long meditation practice and leads regular weekly support groups, workshops and retreats focusing on self-awareness, authentic communication and awakening.

Spencer provides an integrative humanistic approach (which means drawing from varied therapeutic approaches and interventions), striving for connectedness in the here and now. He meets you exactly where you are, open to the journey you and he take together on the path of therapy. He received his training from CPPD in North London, one of the UK’s leading proponents of humanistic integrative theory and practice. Spencer is registered with the BACP and adheres to their ethical framework.
