About Tim

A little about me

Portrait of Tim Franklin

Hello, I’m Tim.

I’ve spent many years working with people through psychological and body-based approaches, and I’ve come to appreciate just how different each person’s experiences and needs can be.

My journey into therapeutic work began with massage and Zero Balancing, which I’ve practised since 1999. Working with the body helped me appreciate how we carry tension, respond to life’s demands, and develop patterns of holding, sometimes without being particularly aware of them.

Over time, my interests expanded into the psychological aspects of our experiences. I went on to study Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, and mindfulness, exploring how our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical experiences influence one another.

More recently, I’ve been undertaking a BACP-approved counselling qualification, which I’m now approaching completion. This has deepened my understanding of the therapeutic relationship, particularly the importance of listening, being present, and giving people space to explore their experiences in their own way.

How I work

Although my training draws on different approaches, I don’t believe a single way of working suits everyone.

Some people come with something quite specific they’d like help with. Others may sense something isn’t quite right, without knowing what it is or where to begin.

I believe it’s important to take time to understand what matters to you, rather than assuming what you need.

Whether we’re working through Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy or Zero Balancing, I intend to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where we can explore what might help, at a pace that feels right for you.

You’re welcome to get in touch if you’d like to ask any questions or arrange an introductory conversation.
