If you're bugged by worries, certain thoughts and feelings that just won't go away, or just where you're often feeling down, lethargic or often demotivated, then I do believe I can help. There's often a reason this isn't just happening but where it begins to take over your life. I'm glad you've taken the time to check out some options to help you here right now, because it's probably sensible to talk and unload a bunged up washing machine going on in your mind. You might have a goal or something in mind you'd like us to achieve together. Failing that, it might be a case of getting to know the problem first. I'm here to help you.

For most of us, things can be challenging at certain times in our lives, perhaps leaving us feeling confused or overwhelmed. You may feel that your life just hasn't turned out how you imagined it would, wanting change, but feeling unable to see how - a feeling of being stuck.

My counselling approach is to provide a relaxed and safe space for you to explore your problems. I’m primarily Person-Centred, rooted in integrative training. As an Integrative therapist, I believe in finding the right fit for each client, recognizing the challenges often stem from multiple sources—be it the past, present, or future concerns. This integrative approach allows me to tailor the therapy to best suit each client's unique needs and goals.

My path to becoming a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst has not been a straight line but a winding, often painful journey through the depths of my own suffering. Before I ever sat with another person in the therapist’s chair, I spent years confronting my struggles with mental illness—particularly addiction and eating disorders. These experiences weren’t just difficult chapters in my life; they were initiations into the world of the psyche, and they have profoundly shaped how I practice, how I listen, and how I hold space for others.

In my early thirties I undertook a Psychology degree with the Open University. On completing this I undertook a second degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. While studying I completed placements in a substance misuse service, a hospice and MIND. I then completed a PGDip in CBT. This gave me professional accreditation with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. I then trained in EMDR and completed further extensive training in PTSD. I have worked in the NHS for eight years, providing therapy and supervising therapists and trainees.

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.
