Helping you to live with clarity, integrity, and from a deeper internal authority.
People usually come to see me when:
Something in their lives no longer feels authentic, coherent, or aligned
They have had therapy or coaching before, but something essential remains unresolved
They may be facing a difficult life decision
They may feel stuck in overthinking
They no longer want surface-level tools, hype, or endless analysis
They want clarity, not just insight — and guidance that feels grounded and real
Many of the people I work with are intelligent, capable, and reflective.
What’s missing is not effort, but a reliable way of sensing what is actually true for them
beneath habit, fear, avoidance and endless mental analysis.
How I Work:
The work is reflective, deeply grounded, and shaped by many years of clinical and mentoring experience.
It is not crisis work, quick fixes, or performance coaching.
It is careful, honest work that integrates psychology, mindfulness, meditation, spiritual awareness, and relational presence.
We slow things down so that what has been unnoticed, avoided, or overridden becomes visible.
This helps you to work with what is actually happening — in your mind, in your body, in your relationships and in your moment-to-moment experience.
From here, clarity emerges naturally — and with this, real change becomes possible — real change in a real life.

About Bill
I bring decades of experience in psychology, psychotherapy, and contemplative practice to this work.
Because of the breadth and depth of my experience and training, my work often goes beyond the bounds of traditional coaching or psychotherapy to encompass a much wider view.
Please bear in mind that my focus has moved away from simply fixing or managing problems, and towards supporting people to live with greater presence, honesty, authenticity and inner coherence.
I now work exclusively online, offering depth-oriented, one-to-one conversations for those who are ready for this kind of engagement.
Outside of the bounds of my professional life, I am very fortunate to be living with my beloved wife, the artist, Trish Mitchell, in the endless beauty of the English Cotswolds. Photography is my creative joy.
