About Neil
Neil Porter trained as a counsellor and now works with people on a wide range of problems. He has six years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Neil brings a calm, present approach and a practical focus to sessions.
He aims to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about pain, loss or confusion. He listens for the whole person, not only for symptoms, and offers tools as well as steady presence.
Background and approach
That mix of practical help and compassionate listening is helpful for people facing addiction, depression, anxiety or stress. Neil works with issues connected to relationships and attachment, including codependency, communication problems, infidelity and separation. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and struggles with self‑esteem or emptiness.
Career concerns and coping with life changes are part of his caseload too. Therapeutic methods he uses include client-centred listening, mindfulness practice, solution-focused strategies and trauma-focused work. These approaches are used to help people develop clearer choices, steadier emotions and better day-to-day coping.
Neil describes his style as collaborative and intuitive; he tailors sessions to each person's needs. Sessions are conducted in English and Neil accepts international clients. His practice emphasises warmth, gentleness and honest presence while helping people take practical steps towards change and healing.

Approaches Neil lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help reduce reactivity to stress and make it easier to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try a way of working together. They treat this as a collaborative process and adjust methods as clients feed back what helps or doesn't help.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection and eye contact matter, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when someone prefers writing. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
