Personal statement
Malcolm is aware that it’s not easy approaching a therapist for the first time and speaking with a stranger can feel initially unusual and anxiety-provoking. However, his previous clients have reported finding it helpful speaking to him as someone that they have no other connection.
Malcolm works with a wide variety of presenting problems, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, grief, loss, addictions, personality disorders, trauma and professional burnout, relationship issues and stress.
