More about Toby
- 11 years' experience
- Male
- NCPS
My name is Toby, and I am a solution-focused and analytical psychotherapist. I centre my work on understanding the root of our behaviour and emotions while striving to facilitate active and meaningful change in the present. By integrating behavioural approaches such as CBT, REBT, DBT, and others with the depth of more analytical approaches like psychodynamic and analytical methods, I can work in a more effective and long-lasting way.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Toby is exactly the therapist I need. Challenges me and helps me organize my thoughts in a safe relaxed way.
In my limited time, Toby has been welcoming , understanding , and supportive of me. Already highlighting key areas that will help me, within only 2 sessions. Would recommend.
He is phenomenal. He knows how to get me to answer questions that I normally wouldn’t
So far I've had just a couple of sessions with Toby, but I've already learned so much about myself and how to act on this, I feel empowered and really optimistic!
