About Duncan

Christian Counsellor · Pastoral Practitioner · Psychotherapist

Hello. My name is Duncan. I am a Christian counsellor and lay minister with experience in NHS chaplaincy, education and community pastoral work. I offer confidential, faith-aware counselling for individuals and couples, integrating recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral care. I hold a Master’s degree in Pastoral Studies and am currently completing training in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I complete this in March 2026. My aim is to provide a safe space for people to explore emotional, relational and faith-related concerns with compassion and respect.

I am a Christian counsellor and experienced lay minister with over twenty years of pastoral service across chaplaincy, education, and community settings. I have served as a Mental Health Chaplain within the NHS, and previously as a Chaplain and teacher in education, experiences that have shaped my compassionate, steady, and thoughtful approach to care. My work integrates Christian faith, psychological insight, and a person-centred approach, offering a safe and reflective space where individuals can explore emotional struggles, questions of faith, and life’s wider challenges.

10. Encouragement, Hope & Christian Perspective

I offer online Christian counselling to adults in all locations, all cities, all across the UK. My approach brings together person-centred counselling and integrative psychotherapy, with space to include Christian faith where this is important to you.

Many of my clients are looking for a safe, confidential place to talk things through with someone who takes their whole life seriously – including faith, doubts and questions. You don’t have to be a Christian to work with me, but if you are, we can explore how your relationship with God, church and spirituality connect with what you’re going through.

Because sessions are held online, I’m able to work with clients all around the UK and beyond. This can be especially helpful if you prefer Christian counselling but there may not be anyone local who feels like a good fit.

What Clients Say

Hear from those who have experienced healing and growth through our faith-based counseling.
My therapeutic relationship with Duncan has been life-changing. We first met during the pandemic. I felt fragmented and bewildered, with contrary forces pulling me in different directions. Duncan has an extraordinary gift for being mindful and present to others, and it was this deep listening that initiated my journey towards healing. I'm reminded of the disciples' walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Jesus appears and helps them to reinterpret all the events that seem so discouraging, dispelling their sadness. Duncan helped me in the in the same way, enabling me to uncover my deepest desires, just as the disciples' hearts burned within them. Our shared Christian faith was enormously important. Duncan is dedicated to truth as revealed in Scripture and has insight into the mysterious ways God works through a life of contemplative prayer. With Duncan's support I have found unity and equilibrium within myself, allowing the contrary forces to work together for my good and the good of others. His gift to me continues to bear fruit every day.

I would like to thank Christian Counselling for the caring support provided to me over these past few months. Duncan supported me as I talked about some of the difficult experiences I've had in recent years, and also not so recent ones. I felt very heard, understood, accepted and validated by him, and I think the main outcomes for me have been letting go of some rgret, feeling happier within (and about) myself and a renewed sense of vision for my life. I personally sought counselling to wo workout why I had felt sad and stuck for sometime, and am very pleased to have gained a fuller understanding of my issues, how they have held me back plus explore ideas of how to move forward.
