My interests are anxiety, depression, and low self esteem. Childhood trauma, grief, and relationship issues are also problems that I will aim to assist you with. I am very concerned with modern issues facing men and boys, and their despair. I offer Christian counselling too.. Trust in God can be an important part of the healing process, and I am happy to listen to your faith journey. If you have been hurt along the way, you will find a gentle understanding of your issues. Finally, I believe that education and skills development help cope with problems. The overall goal of my counselling is that you thrive and flourish in life.
I am a retired doctor, with over 40 years of clinical experience. I qualified as a Counsellor in June 2025. My wide experience of listening to people helps me understand your issues. I have worked on 3 continents, and have good cultural awareness.
