About Neil

Neil Porter is a counsellor with six years of experience who believes in the possibility of change. He came to this work after his own journey through hardship and now helps people face pain and begin to heal. He aims to offer steady presence, warmth and real human connection in sessions.

His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens first and brings practical tools when they fit. He uses mindfulness to help people notice what is happening in their bodies and minds, and solution-focused ideas to find small steps forward.

Background and approach

Neil has a particular interest in issues tied to relationships and loss. He works with people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and problems with self-esteem. He also supports those navigating grief, anger, career changes, and the impact of family conflict and separation.

In sessions he pays attention to attachment and patterns such as codependency, control issues, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness. He also helps with fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, infidelity and the practical fallout of divorce and separation. He approaches these themes gently and without judgement.

People can expect honest conversation and practical strategies alongside reflective listening. Neil draws on trauma-focused work when deeper wounds are present, helping people manage distress and build steadier ground. He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.

His aim is to walk alongside people as they rebuild and imagine new possibilities, offering support that is both grounded and compassionate.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers presence and reflection so the person feels heard and can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach helps with low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. These practices can reduce stress and anxiety and provide tools for managing strong emotions between sessions.

He will work with the client to find the right mix of approaches. Deciding what helps is a collaborative process based on needs, goals and personal preferences. It’s common to try different techniques and adapt the approach as progress is made.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, note-taking or keeping momentum between meetings. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family or travel while still accessing regular support from registered or accredited professionals.
