Most people who reach out are carrying something that’s been hard to put into words. It might be a sense that life isn’t quite working, a pattern in relationships that keeps repeating, or a quieter struggle with self-worth, anxiety or substance use. Many of the people I see have spent years getting on with things and are only now stopping to ask why it feels harder than it should. Whatever brings you in, my job is to help you make sense of it, in a space where nothing is off limits and you don’t have to have the right words before you start.
I work with adults through short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy, with a particular focus on men’s issues, relationships and self-esteem. My approach is mainly psychodynamic: we look at how your past shapes how you think, feel and behave now, and where old patterns are getting in the way of the life you want.
Reaching out is often the hardest step. You don’t need a clear story or the right words, just a willingness to start. I offer a free 15 minute call so you can get a feel for how I work and decide whether it’s right for you, with no pressure either way. When you’re ready, get in touch.

I help men work through the issues that often sit just out of reach: how they feel about themselves, how they show up in relationships, and the patterns that keep tripping them up. Therapy involves understanding where those patterns came from and learning to respond differently. Clients typically come away with more self-respect, steadier relationships and a clearer sense of direction.

Therapy with me is more of a real conversation than a clinical exercise. My approach is mainly psychodynamic and relational, with elements of CBT and person-centred work where they help. We'll move at your pace, looking at what's happening now and where it comes from. You can expect to feel heard, to be gently challenged, and over time to understand yourself in a way that actually shifts things.
