About Toby Messer

Toby Messer, NCPS, is a solution-focused and analytical psychotherapist who brings 11 years of experience to his work. He centers therapy on identifying the roots of behaviour and emotion while helping clients make active, meaningful change in the present. Drawing on a blend of behavioural techniques and deeper analytical methods, he combines approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) with psychodynamic and analytical perspectives to create a versatile, long-term approach to care.

Toby emphasizes understanding patterns that shape current difficulties and translating that insight into practical strategies that clients can use day to day. He adapts his methods to each person’s needs, aiming to balance focused, solution-oriented work with exploration of underlying dynamics so that change is both effective and sustainable. He provides therapy in English and holds the NCPS credential, a professional credential indicating formal training and qualifications in the field.
