About Timothy

Timothy Park is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health and with people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, grief and stress. Timothy also supports those dealing with eating or sleeping concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues linked to attachment or abandonment.

Sessions start by clarifying the specific problems that brought someone to therapy. He listens for patterns and obstacles that keep things stuck. Together they set practical goals and identify small steps that can be put into daily life.

Timothy describes his approach as collaborative and pragmatic. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and attachment-focused work. This mix aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, adjust difficult thoughts and build coping skills that fit their life.

In sessions he helps people make sense of how past experiences affect current choices. That can mean looking at family of origin issues, communication problems or the role of shame and self-esteem in relationships. He also works with people exploring alternative sexual cultures, kink or BDSM as part of understanding intimacy-related concerns.

Practical work is a feature of his style. He will help identify barriers, try out different coping strategies and review what helps. New skills are checked against everyday routines so changes feel useful rather than overwhelming.

Approaches used in online sessions

Timothy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work alongside client-centred practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, meaningful actions that reflect their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and communication and can be useful for people struggling with abandonment or trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different ways of working and decide collaboratively which methods match a person's goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. Plans can be reviewed and adapted as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to help people apply new skills in their usual routines.
