Put simply, I help men who feel stuck, unheard, hopeless or lost. I help men who are looking for a way to feel better, faster. That’s what counselling does. Life throws a lot at us: change, loss, grief, pressure, stress. We often work our whole lives, only to feel it all falling apart. Sometimes that presents itself as anxiety, the black cloud of depression, or coping mechanisms that can lead to addiction. We try to find ways to reduce the pain; but it just gets worse. It can feel hopeless. But there is hope; counselling can make you feel better, within weeks or even sometimes days - not years.
That’s where I come in. I’m a neuro-diverse guy who’s experienced divorce, grief, addicted family members and more until one too many knocks made me decide to quit life. Counselling saved me, the right words at the right time. Now I use that to help others, with a range of simple therapies that are designed to help men quickly, simply and online.
Life can feel hopeless; trust me, I’ve been there. But there is hope, there is a way to become unstuck and move on. Sometimes you need someone who’s been through the valley and trained in helping others, to see your way out to the sun. Don’t let those voices tell you otherwise; you deserve help, and help is here.

I find a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative therapy, with some supporting use of other therapies, works well. However I work with you to find the right approaches to what you need - it's rarely 'one size fits all' for counselling.
