I offer practical, grounded counselling for men and couples, integrating cognitive behavioural and person-centred therapy with unique body-based holistic methods.
My ideal clients are men who feel stuck, disconnected, or under pressure to “hold it together.” They may be struggling with confidence, emotional struggles: anger, anxiety, stress, intimacy, or relationship breakdowns. Some are navigating separation, fatherhood, or conflicts with a partner. Others want clarity, purpose, and stronger boundaries. They want practical tools, honest conversation, and real change, not just talking, but understanding why they feel this way and how to move forward with strength and self-respect.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT) and Schema Therapy, both evidence-based frameworks.
I am passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety and relationship challenges. This includes high functioning anxiety (stress, burnout, & perfectionism), generalised anxiety (overthinking & catastrophising), OCD intrusive thoughts, panic, social anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, difficulty navigating relationships, being self-critical or doubting oneself, people-pleasing, & excessive guilt. The way we relate to ourselves, and others, is fundamental to our mental health. Anxiety can place significant strain on relationships, just as difficulties in our relationships can, in turn, heighten feelings of anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
