I'm Adam- I look forward to welcoming you. Are you exhausted from carrying heaviness on your own? Is the strain too much, trapping you in painful relationship loops, feeling unseen, or turning to quick escapes just to catch your breath? You can talk and be with me. You are likely here because you need relief, but beneath that immediate distress lies a desire for genuine connection and a life that actually feels like your own. An accredited UKCP Psychotherapist grounded in Relational Psychoanalysis, Attachment, and Jungian approaches. I use these to ease your pain and illuminate your life, not as rigid boxes to fit you into.
How I work... • Experientially: noticing what happens between us. • Imaginatively: using dreams and symbols when words fail. • Courageously: facing family patterns keeping you stuck. • Compassionately: helping you safely drop your guard. • Holistically: listening to your body so you can rest. • Truthfully: a responsive space, not just 'nodding & smiling'.
Sitting together, we will find a pace that brings safety while doing the deeper work for lasting change. I offer a presence sturdy enough to help carry your heaviest unspoken pain, yet spacious enough to let you breathe. Together, we will step out of survival mode, find the relief you need, and move into a grounded, authentic life.

Therapy is about so much more than just talking; it's an invitation to connect with feelings, sensations and the thoughts and images that arise in us. I will hold space for the joys, losses and disappointments that are part of every life. The aim is not to "fix" you, but to provide a secure and consistent relationship where you can explore feelings and find a renewed foundation.

I focus on the relationship between us as the "keyhole" of how you "do" relationships elsewhere. Old patterns will be present but new choices are made in "the light of awareness".
