“I am so looking forward to getting to know you as a unique individual, and working together to create the life you wish for. I believe that creating sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically. I have always cringed at traditional, clinical styles of therapy, so instead I am committed to treating you as a real person and working together to help you live your best life. I love it when people take a proactive approach to their mental health. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t appreciate how much of a privilege it is to get to know my clients and work together with them in a meaningful way"

Are you someone who thinks deeply about your life but feels stuck? You try to get traction but keep finding yourself back in the same place? Maybe you struggle with your body image, or you’re caught in a cycle with food that leaves you feeling out of control. Maybe anxiety sits in the background, making life feel harder than it should. Maybe you're over-adapting in relationships, working hard to keep others happy, and losing sight of what you actually want. Or maybe there's just a nagging sense that the life you're living isn't quite yours.

Hi, I’m Jake (they/them). My work has been shaped by growing up punk, neurodiverse and queer. On top of this, my time in disability advocacy and human rights spaces has also influenced my views on power and bodily autonomy. Which means, I resist the idea that therapy should help people adapt to systems that harm them, and I try to slow the work down and keep relationship at the centre.
