I’m John-Paul Davies
Psychotherapist, Counselor and coach based in Cobham, Surrey
Hello and a very warm welcome to my site. I’m an experienced UKCP and BACP registered therapist practicing face-to-face in Cobham, Surrey and nationally and internationally online. I often have a bit of a waiting list for sessions, but do get in contact and hopefully we can make it work.
My training combined traditional psychotherapy theory with more contemporary techniques. This enables your individuality to be reflected in the therapy, working in a style designed to suit you.
My principal therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning that it can take in all or some of the major schools of psychotherapy. It’s often also important to discover and nurture your strengths, rather than just focusing on correcting perceived problems and shortcomings.

Your Trusted Place
There’s real and unique potential both for healing and change in the trusting relationship between psychotherapist/counselor/coach and client.
The issues bringing you to this site might be standing in your way, but this can change as no-one is predestined to be a certain type of person living a certain kind of life or always feeling a certain way.
Alongside this, sometimes the work can be as much about appreciating and valuing more of who you currently are and what you already have in your life.
We would aim to help you to learn how individual elements are creating your symptoms or causing you to feel unsatisfied or distressed. From here, you’ll see how things can be different, in order for you to shape the life you want for yourself.
“I booked some therapy time with the author and I can honestly say that the time and money I invested in the process was literally life changing… I cannot recommend working with John-Paul, and this book, more highly.”
“It is as if you were sitting with him in the therapy space. His encouragement resonates throughout. As a doctor of many decades I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a more meaningful and fulfilled life.”
