Today, many men are confused about our role and relevance in society. A clear sense of manhood, is I believe, critical to healthy relationships between men and women; men and other men; and obviously men as parents. I believe that my personal experiences are relevant here. Over many years, as parent, partner, friend and colleague, I have learned from my many mistakes and now feel that in a non-judgmental and collaborative way, I have something to offer both men and women in this regard. I believe that therapy is the best way to find out about oneself, that we are all unique and that each person’s life pathway is intensely personal

Whether it is through therapy or through psychological testing, my passion is helping individuals understand themselves. My ideal client is someone who is very motivated to make change and committed to the process. A special interest of mine is seeing individuals who are uncertain or have given up on psychologists being able to help. The primary things that I work with in my current role is therapy around mood regulation (whether it is anxiety, depression or panic) or whether it is assessing whether someone has a neurodevelopment disorder (ADHD, Dyslexia, intellectual disability etc).

Are you anxious or depressed, feeling isolated, lonely or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to manage some complicated emotional challenges? Maybe it’s difficult for you to get through a day without collapsing in an emotional heap. You may be dealing with the ending of an important relationship or you are struggling to come to terms with the death of someone you loved, feeling unable to cope with the grief you are experiencing. You may find it difficult to deal with a major life transition or with changes in your health or your body. Or maybe you just don’t know who you are anymore and you want more out of life.

Many different events will impact our lives, most of the time we can deal with them, other times we cannot. A difficult childhood, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness or accident, a toxic work environment, sexuality & gender, unemployment, the current pandemic affecting our world or just being at a new stage of our lives can cause us to feel lost within ourselves and the wider world. This can lead to anxiety or depression, it can affect our self-esteem and disconnect us from everyone around us, leaving us isolated and alone.

We're passionate about psychology, and it is our mission to help people reconnect with their values, achieve their goals, unlock their potential, and live more rich, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a wide range of experience. I primarily utilise enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, to allow people to learn the skills needed to manage emotional distress, strengthen their ability to cope with future challenges and achieve personal, relationship and professional life goals. Additionally I offer longer term psychotherapy for more complex issues.

As a social worker, counsellor and psychotherapist I utilize an interpersonal relationship to enable self-understanding, shared focus, stress reduction and assist in making changes to your life that you currently seek. I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches and modalities and integrate these according to your needs and situation. I have completed a diploma in adult psychotherapy, developing a strong interest in Self Psychology in the treatment of depression, anxiety and a range of trauma-based disorders. This also influences my work frame, in relation to your psychosocial and mental health experiences.

Are you fed up with family or relationship issues? Maybe it's the lack of intimacy, or piled up resentment, constant arguments or negative communication patterns that are getting too much? Do you feel talking to someone would bring you more clarity on what to do next? Clients report feeling safe and getting new practical insights and clarity on what previously bogged them down. Together we look for any underlying trauma, negative patterns and inaccurate beliefs that are hiding in the background and then we create a plan according to your values and needs. We can do this in individual and/or joint couple and family sessions.
