I was helped tremendously by my own experience of therapy, and have been influenced by a variety of approaches to it. I know a thing or two about depression, not caring much for oneself and struggling to understand one’s feelings; I come at it as one who has seen for himself that a better life and a better relationship with the self is both possible and worthwhile. If you would like to know more about me, how I understand therapy and how I work, you might want to visit my website, where I write about all at some depth.

There comes a point in our lives when things feel like they're getting on top of us. Strategies we relied on no longer work. Or, we feel that something is holding us back from leading a vibrant and fulfilling life. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to make sense of your life and connect with yourself in a way that will help you to heal. Different things work for different people. Some of us are used to talking about our feelings; some of us are not. Others need images, music, objects and creative ways to help us capture an experience and connect with deeper feelings. I tailor my approach to the person I am with.

If you are reading this then you probably have a feeling that talking to someone right now is important. Therapy is a way to explore what may seem difficult in your life at this point. You may not even know what it is that feels 'off' and that's ok; therapy can be used to explore that sense of unease, or lack of connection.

Although people have many traits and problems in common, no two lives will ever be lived the same.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I believe in the power of a supportive, caring and honest relationship where you are unconditionally accepted, with all aspects of yourself welcomed into the counselling space. I will enable you to identify parts of yourself that may be holding you back in relationships, work and other elements of life so that you can take control of your life and embrace the challenges of everyday existence. We will discuss your problems and opportunities and identify methods for achieving your goals to move forward towards change.

I am a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have extensive experience working with under-represented communities and helping people understanding their behaviours. My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my hu manistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves.

My way of working is based on our relationship, rather than any specific theoretical model. It is through our relationship that we explore your experience, your feelings, needs and wants in a non-judgemental, contained space. Through our work together it is my hope that clients develop a better understanding of themselves and leave with an increased level of confidence that comes from acceptance.

Sometimes life gets really hard - complicated, confusing and painful. You're feeling anxious, down or depressed and you can't work out why. Maybe you do know why, but you've never felt able to speak about the reasons with anyone. The pace of modern life or past experiences can often make you feel that you have to try and deal with your difficulties by yourself, by sweeping them under the carpet or putting on a brave face. Perhaps it has seemed that if you just keep going, one day you’d wake up and your problems will have disappeared - but they haven't. So now you've decided to try something new, to seek some help.

I will work with you in a way that is, above all else, straightforwardly hu man.
Sometimes life can feel like a losing battle. If you are looking for help I offer a safe, completely confidential environment, where we can think and talk together. I work psychodynamically, an approach underpinned by the idea that our present day feelings are powerfully influenced by our past experiences. When we remain conflicted in the present about events that happened in the past, we often find ourselves troubled in everyday life. These are the feelings that lead people to look for help to understand and resolve these issues.

I know that life has become really challenging and difficult to cope with. The stress and pressure we face has affected our health, work, relationships and mental well-being. Despite all our best efforts to manage, nothing seems to work. It’s during these times that having someone qualified and experienced to talk with and support us becomes a much-needed relief – especially as some of the difficulties we are going through are deep rooted and stem from painful childhood experiences like changing schools 6 different times, abuse, a bike accident and not having many friends. This is something I can personally identify with.

I work with people (mainly men) who feel stressed, depressed, anxious, or perhaps a little bit lost and need some help to relax, feel more self-confident and balanced, and more able to cope and enjoy their lives more happily. We can all feel down, depressed, and lost at times, but with gentleness, patience, and support it can be changed. Some of my clients just need help getting clear on their aims and goals and taking action to get there. Some clients need more ongoing support to help them cope with day-to-day stresses, and also with building their self-confidence and self-esteem.

I've supported many clients through the diverse challenges life presents.
I am a trainee psychotherapist completing an MA in psychotherapy at the Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) London. If you are visiting psychotherapy and counselling websites, you are likely facing some challenges or uncertainties. Initiating this process can feel overwhelming. I encourage you to reach out via phone or email so we can schedule a time to speak. Seeking therapy can offer insights into one's life, especially during times of stress, change, or personal struggles such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or a sense of meaninglessness.

I provide an understanding, supportive and nurturing environment, and seek to help clients to feel listened to and safe to face their dilemmas. I believe that therapy can assist a client with unlocking their values to bring a renewed sense of purpose to their life. Through therapy, clients can manage their lives to be more meaningful and satisfying and also to successfully negotiate and come to terms with past, present and future issues and crisis that affect them. Rather than taking a single interpretive approach, I am open to the many ways that a client can find meaning and purpose from their life.

I offer a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore any concerns that you wish to bring. As we have all felt lost, alone or unheard at some point in our lives, I think that everyone can benefit from counselling. It is powerful to have a space just for you to talk through the issues that are affecting you and are important to you with someone who is there just for you. Counselling is not always easy and can bring up painful or difficult memories. However, we will go at your own pace and the rewards can be life changing.

I have experience working with individuals across a range of presentations such as low mood and depression, anxiety and OCD, gender identity, attachment issues, bereavement, phobias, trauma , autism/ neurodiversity, ADHD, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships.I believe that unprocessed experiences impact on our well-being.

I am lecturer in Higher Education with NHS experience.I charge between £90-£120/session based on the type of work (long or short term).

My own story of becoming a Counselling Psychologist involved working through my own life issues, particularly around intense disregulated emotions. It puts me in a position to be able to sit alongside you with your problems, and although everyone is different, empathise with a little more understanding.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
