I work for two sexual abuse services, Lifecentre in West Sussex, and Mankind UK working specifically with men.
In my practice, the therapeutic relationship is a space where difficult life experiences can be worked through. I take an integrative approach, in which I encourage you to be curious about how your difficulties relate to previous experiences and your expectations for yourself and others. This often brings up feelings that can seem unwelcome and I work with you to help you understand unwanted emotions and connect to your body. My approach aims to deepen your self-awareness in the here-and-now as this helps you to understand and feel compassion for yourself, and be okay in who you are.

I work with other gay men who experience challenges around sex, chemsex, sexuality, identity and shame.
Hello! A very warm welcome to you. As we face these uncertain times in our world, we find ourselves coming up against many challenges that may be exacerbating our existing internal struggles. It feels more important than ever to find some sense of certainty and purpose in these difficult times. The very idea of isolation can bring on fear and anxiety, uncertainty around our livelihoods can trigger old and new coping strategies that may feel damaging to one’s self.

I work with men and women differently.
Exploring childhood memories, dreams, and current circumstances, you may discover unconscious beliefs and world views that have held you back. From there, we can find a path towards greater self-acceptance and understanding, offering you the chance to let go of unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and discover a better way of being in the world.

I have extensive experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of issues: anxiety and stress management, depression, trauma recovery, self-esteem and confidence building, relationship issues, life transitions and personal growth, men and male anger, sport psychotherapy.
We are more than what has happened to us, the central question is: 'who do you want to become?' Being able to move from patterns of behaviour rooted in the past, into the way we want to be in the here and now, is a deeply profound and personal journey for us. Drawing from Transactional Analysis, my work involves recognising the creative ways we adapt to overcome difficult or painful experiences, working with clients to facilitate change and helping them to re-write their stories using learner strategies for living.

Coming along to therapy for the first time can feel exposing. It's important to remember that you are not alone in any difficulties you're facing. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to talk, think and grow. Therapy can be about making specific changes so that life feels more meaningful, rewarding or less overwhelming. Or it can simply be an opportunity to be properly heard, to reflect and get to know yourself better. I am a HCPC-registered senior Clinical Psychologist working privately and in an NHS community service.

What a world we live in, hey? So much pain. So much drama, and heartache. Yet, also so much beauty, love, and understanding. There's nothing to do except be here now, and show up fully, living as best as we can. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work to change your habits, or to stop your thoughts spiralling. However you may find stillness, presence and recovery. No matter what adversity you've been through, I believe that you can grow from it and gain resilience. (Please visit my website to learn more and view availability for an initial consultation).

I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for over thirty years, and as a Jungian psychoanalyst for almost twelve years. In that time I have worked with a broad spectrum of people from many cultural backgrounds presenting a vast array of issues. Everyone is different. All that is required of you is to be willing to look into yourself, be open to your feelings, and invite your dreams, because they can help us. Ultimately I can't make the changes for you, you must want to change for yourself.

Psychotherapy creates space to explore who you are and what is getting in the way of you fulfilling your potential. Anxiety, low mood, mood swings, ADHD, unwelcome trauma symptoms are all ways that the mind is telling us that we need to pay attention to something that we have not been able to face. We will work together to listen with compassion to your deeper self. For some people, group therapy can alleviate isolation and equip you to find and build new relationships that fit you better. It helps build confidence to seek out and join new groups where you can be more yourself. I call this 'finding your tribe'.

Everyone copes with difficult feelings and life situations in their own way. But there are times when we feel stuck or overwhelmed, and strategies that once helped no longer seem effective. This might follow the loss of a relationship, a life transition, or even being deeply affected by something that seems small or insignificant.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
