I will help to make you feel comfortable and at ease by offering you a safe, confidential space for you to talk openly, and at a pace that suits you. I am committed to ensuring that you will feel heard, accepted and understood and I will make every effort to appreciate what it is like to be you and to help you understand your feelings and emotions.

I work best with clients who are ready to explore change and develop self-reflection and compassion. Some people arrive with big questions about life, identity, and direction. Others may not know exactly what they want, but sense something isn’t quite right — and that’s okay. Clients often choose to work with me because of my experience and the supportive, practical way I help them move forward. With over a decade of experience, I can help you clarify your goals and make meaningful progress in a way that feels manageable and authentic.

Life can be both beautiful and bleak, calm and stormy. Pain and suffering are inevitable parts of the human experience, and when these challenges arise, it’s not always possible to face them alone. As social beings, many of our struggles emerge from our interactions and experiences with others. Yet, with the right support, human connection has the power to bring about healing and growth.

There comes a moment - sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once - when we realise something needs attention. A feeling, a pattern, a memory that won’t stay quiet. Counselling is a place where we can listen closely to what’s going on beneath the noise. It’s not about ‘saying the right thing’ - it’s about being together with what’s true, in a space that allows you to breathe a little deeper. Some people come with much to say, others bring silence or nudges that don’t yet make sense. It’s all welcome. For those who feel drawn to it, I also offer therapeutic songwriting sessions.

My work deals universally with the reduction of suffering, your suffering. Specifically this may include Depression, Anxiety, Low Mood, Loss of purpose, Grief, Relationship issues, managing change and family problems. Often we can be lost in our thinking and we can swing, like a pendulum, between worries of the past and anxieties of the future, never really pausing to be present now. This is normal, we all have these times. However sometimes, some of us get stuck in these places and need some guidance to bring us into balance and offer us support,at difficult times in our lives.

My clients often look like they’re coping. They appear capable and responsible, sometimes highly successful, yet privately they are often anxious, disconnected, self-critical or exhausted. Some carry complex trauma or PTSD; others just know something doesn’t feel right. Many have learned to be the strong one. They don’t just want symptom relief — they want to understand their patterns, feel calmer, build steadier relationships and feel at home in who they truly are. They want the opportunity of a therapeutic relationship that will help them heal from their emotional wounds and unburden themselves.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.

If you have stress, anxiety or depression on you, I can support you.

I specialise in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) along side other integrative therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness and hypnotherapy. The framework my approach is built on is REBT, yet as each of us are different, I integrate the other therapies to suit each individual. Some clients benefit more from rationalising thoughts and beliefs, while some need help getting over the past, and some need help with moving forward. I work with my clients to address issues, create and reach goals, and to help them make the most of everyday life, without the struggles.

The move towards seeking therapy is a big step, and one that can quite easily become daunting. There are numerous modalities, acronyms and approaches; finding the right one for you can be difficult. I aim to simplify this with my clients, by providing a grounded and present listening ear, backed up my the theory I have studied. As we get to know each other the approach you are looking for will generally become clearer. My training as an Integrative practitioner means I can draw upon various modalities, which I have found to be very helpful for 'meeting' the client exactly where they are at.

In my work as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I help adults who are experiencing considerable difficulties with their thoughts and feelings about themselves and in their relationships with others - particularly with partners, family and at work. These difficulties are often associated with a variety of psychological problems and negatively affect mental health, sometimes severely. Persistent poor mental health and relationship issues are often rooted in problems with caregiving experienced as an infant, child and teenager.

Many people find that pressure gets in the way of performing at their best. In key moments, self-doubt, overthinking, or strong emotions can take over. How we respond to pressure—shaped by self-belief—has a powerful impact on performance and wellbeing. I help individuals and teams build self-belief and develop the psychological skills needed to perform under pressure. Our work focuses on emotional regulation, resilience, decision-making, and mental fitness, supporting you to think clearly and respond effectively when it matters most.

I offer a straightforward and grounded approach to therapy and my practice is rooted in your present experience, working with what is actually going on in your life right now. My approach is humanistic, blending concepts taken from psychodynamic theory and Buddhism, or to put it another way - science and spirituality. I work with the mind and body, viewing them not as two separate competing entities, but as a flowing, cyclical, relational system, with each needing a unique type of care and attention which unfortunately is all too often missing from our modern lives both on an individual and societal level.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
