Xen has been helping me for the past year, he has been like a second set of eyes for and brain for me and helped me look at things in a new patient light. Through bad times and good he has reassured and comforted me and helped me find a way to the end of each tunnel with techniques and advice, a genuinely lovely person, I look forward to speaking to him and value his time and efforts! He has made the daunting task of therapy wholesome and easy.

More about Xenophon
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- HCPC
I am licensed in the UK as a HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist and Counselling Psychologist and as a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society. I have 20 years of professional clinical experience within the NHS and voluntary sectors. I have also provided clinical supervision to clinical and counselling psychologists; psychologists in training; counsellors and psychotherapists. I have clinical experience in helping others with depression, low-self esteem, stress and anxiety, bereavement, anxiety disorders, trauma, behavioural disorders, relationship issues, intimacy related issues, personality difficulties, neurodevelopmental disorders, parenting issues and child and adolescent mental health difficulties too.
There are various types of counselling/psychotherapy/psychological interventions, some are more suited for certain clients’ preferences than other forms of therapy/psychological support and again, some types of therapy/psychological interventions are more likely to be of benefit for particular issues than other therapeutic/psychological approaches. As a clinical psychologist and counselling psychologist, I have received specialist training and supervised clinical experience in Humanistic Therapy; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (inc. Third-Wave CBT) Behavioural Therapy; Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Approaches (MBSR/MBCT) and Schema Therapy. More importantly, clinical outcome research has repeatedly shown that the therapeutic relationship is vital to successful therapy outcomes, regardless of the type of therapy used; my 20 years of clinical experience testifies to this clinical truth.

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Xen is the best therapist I have ever had.
I can’t recommend Xen enough. He has a kind a compassionate presence and provides valuable feedback and an safe environment to express and work through my feelings. I appreciate him greatly.
From my very first session with Xen, I knew I was in the presence of a therapist who truly listens and understands. His down-to-earth demeanor and calm approach have been a refreshing and vital part of my therapy journey. I highly recommend Xen to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only skilled but also deeply compassionate and understanding.
Xen is literally the best therapist I've had in my 10 years of mental health issues. He is spot on with tackling problems with motivating and realistic goals of action. I am so Blessed to have a therapist like him. I truly am. Thank you God. Thank you Xen.
He is a great therapist. He has helped me make some breakthroughs about myself and not only that he has helped me live in the moment. He is a great therapist
I feel heard and understood. Exercises and tips that Xen has taught me are helping me cope with anxiety on a daily basis. The trick is - do the work consistently and never give up.
The sessions with Xen have been really helpful for me. He’s very open and keen to help. Doesn’t feel formal or forced, and is something I look forward to each week.
Very approachable and non judgmental gentleman. I have had only one session with him, but I highly recommend his knowledge and expertise.
