I am a Registered Psychologist providing evidence-based psychological support to adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and complex emotional challenges. I work with individuals experiencing burnout, chronic stress, grief and loss, relationship changes, health-related adjustment, and times where life can feel uncertain or overwhelming. Many people seek support when things begin to feel heavier than usual, or when their usual ways of coping are no longer as effective. My focus is on supporting people to gain clarity, build emotional stability, and develop practical strategies for daily life.

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.
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.

Welcome to You are Here Therapy. Some people call it trauma. Others call it a difficult experience or a painful chapter they can't seem to move past. Whatever you call it, its effects can linger, shaping how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate life. Sometimes it's a current stressor that feels overwhelming. Sometimes it's the past showing up in the present. I support adults of all backgrounds and genders, with a particular affinity for working with gay men. Together, we'll make sense of your story, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Your past may shape your story, but it doesn't have to write your future.

Many of the adults I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed. They might be navigating ADHD, autism spectrum traits or longstanding trauma, often without clear formulation or integrated support. Some have received a late diagnosis or recognise high masking patterns. Others struggle with emotional regulation, relationship strain or persistent distress that has not shifted with short-term approaches. They want clarity, stability and a deeper understanding of themselves.
