I also have a special interest in working with people with psychosis and unusual experiences and much of my pre-training experience was in this area.

Hey, I'm Ollie, a CBT/EMDR therapist/supervisor with 15 years experience. I specialise in OCD, Trauma/PTSD, Phobias, Anxiety and Depression. I'm trained in Tik disorders, Psychedelic Integration and Gambling Addiction. My passion is to see clients regain their joie de vivre, overcome their fears and retake control of their lives. I'm authentic, down to earth, honest and transparent. To be congruent as therapists, we need to own ourselves - It's vital to therapy - Being relatable, being present, being there. Marcus Aurelius once said: “You have power over your mind, not external events - Know this and you will find strength”

If you’re reading this, it probably means you’re thinking about starting therapy – maybe for the first time. Fair play for making it here. I know it won’t have been easy. Sadly, most guys don’t make it this far. But you did – so well done. I specialise in working with men who feel stuck, ashamed or emotionally flat. You might be functioning well enough, but you know there’s something deeper… and maybe haven’t ever spoken about. Whether it’s a long-standing issue or something that’s come up recently – addiction, anger, burnout, relationships, identity, porn or loss – we work together to understand what’s really going on for you.

Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge, low mood drains your energy, or intrusive thoughts won’t stop. You might struggle with confidence, sleep, or the weight of past experiences. Many clients want clarity and calm, tools to manage stress, lift mood, and feel more in control. Therapy can help you break patterns, build resilience, and create space for balance and growth.

I was born and raised in multicultural societies all my life. Living in several different countries on 3 different continents (United Arab Emirates, Canada, Pakistan, Wales and England) has given me unique knowledge about culturally adapting therapy. It has also taught me to understand and work with many different kinds of people. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the client to create a safe and comfortable space to address and potentially alleviate psychological trauma. I have extensive experience adapting contemporary therapy and counselling and tailoring it to unique cultural nuances.

When you're used to being the one who carries the weight, solves the problems, and just keeps moving forward, admitting that you've hit a wall isn't easy. You might be navigating intense pressure at work, facing a relationship crisis or infidelity, or simply realising that your usual strategies for managing stress and anxiety aren't cutting it anymore. It’s common to deal with this by shutting down or trying to white-knuckle through it alone. I provide a straightforward, down-to-earth environment where you don't have to filter what's going on, and where we can look practically at what's keeping you stuck.

I work with individuals who are struggling with all kinds of issues, such as depression, anxiety and stress, questions of identity, personality problems, relationship issues, bereavement, addictions, abuse, anger management and many other difficulties. Sometimes problems can be difficult to articulate, like feeling lost, confused, or like something just isn’t right. Often we can face problems that feel so ingrained that we might feel there can’t be a solution. We might feel ‘it’s just who I am’. I am also an experienced couples therapist. Most fights between couples are rooted in the pain of loosing connection with each other.

TL;DR I mostly work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, and/or OCD stuff/intrusive thoughts, to better understand what's happening and find ways to improve things. I continue to learn to better support the people I work with, particularly around gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, and neurodiversity.

Whether or not you personally use the term "trauma", you might feel or wonder if you’re carrying elements of pain and difficulty from your past. You may feel unable to set boundaries, and end up people-pleasing, resentful, or emotionally exhausted​​. Perhaps you reach burnout because you often prioritise everyone else’s needs above your own. Often my clients find themselves saying “yes” when you really want to say “no” or carrying negative relationship patterns from earlier experiences. I specialise in helping people who are functioning on the outside but feel strained on the inside and may be in fact struggling to cope.
