Hello

Hello, I’m Alan Duff — and I’m really glad you’ve found your way here.

​

Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when life feels heavy or uncertain, but you don’t have to face things on your own.  I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges.

 

As an Integrative Therapist, my practice draws on a range of approaches, with particular expertise in Addiction, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (CBT/DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. 

 

In addition to my clinical practice, I’m an accredited Clinical Supervisor. I place great importance on self-care and reflective practice — both for myself and the professionals I support — as vital tools in preventing vicarious trauma and sustaining emotional wellbeing.

 

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, because no two people’s experiences are the same. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, or difficulties in emotional or behavioural regulation, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s happening and work towards change at your own pace.

 

At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: change is always possible, and everyone deserves to feel understood, supported, and empowered. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, you’ve already taken an important step just by being here. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, clarity, and growth.
