About Neil

Neil Hall helps people find more helpful ways of dealing with difficult life events using conversation and practical tools. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused work to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or career concerns. Neil is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and NCPS, and has seven years' experience in counselling work.

He works with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping problems, anger and bipolar-related concerns. He also supports people with LGBT and sexuality issues, sexual assault and sex addiction, social anxiety, panic, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Additional areas include communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and finding life purpose.

In sessions Neil talks things through with clients to help them make sense of what is happening. He uses practical exercises from CBT to look at thoughts and behaviour, and ACT techniques to clarify values and take small actions. Solution-Focused work helps set short-term goals and track progress.

Neil’s client-centred stance means the focus is on the person's experience and what they want to change. He aims to balance talking through feelings with concrete coping strategies and short-term coaching where useful. Over seven years he has worked across different settings and keeps the approach straightforward and problem-focused.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be supported. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Neil uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions when anxiety or low mood get in the way. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility rather than trying to remove difficult thoughts instantly.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to try practical exercises that reduce unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for stress, panic and sleep problems. Client-Centred work provides a space for people to talk through their experience with the counsellor responding to what the person brings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust the methods over time in collaboration with the client.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in appointments when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help people maintain continuity of care alongside everyday commitments.
