I work with a variety of clients including neurodivergent children, adolescents, adults, and the families who care for them, as well as people navigating life transitions, new parenthood, and perinatal mental health. Many come feeling unseen, or exhausted from trying to explain themselves in spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I bring my own neurodivergent lived experience alongside my clinical training, and I approach every person with genuine curiosity, warmth, and care.

Men and boys need to look after their mental health as much as women and girls, yet we are far less likely to seek help. We often push on in silence. You might feel a pit of sadness that never goes away, or you might have worries that eat away at you. Perhaps your anger gets out of control and leads to regrettable decisions, or maybe you have forced yourself to wear a mask and to look okay while there is turmoil beneath the surface.
After many years of working with males in mental health I know how to help guys move beyond that uncomfortable first step comfortably and on to the road towards improvement.

Using CBT, ACT and DBT‑informed strategies, I offer clear understanding, practical tools, and a safe, collaborative space.
My ideal client is an adult or older adolescent who brings long‑running relationship patterns, the lingering impact of childhood trauma, or chronic low mood and wants deeper, lasting change; they’re tired of repeating the same outcomes and ready to understand the origins of their reactions rather than just manage symptoms. They need a safe, non‑judgemental space, a clear formulation that links past experiences to present problems, and practical skills they can use between sessions. Their goals are to reduce shame and reactivity, build secure, reciprocal relationships, stabilise mood and daily routines, and develop boundaries.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
