I know how nerve-racking it can be to seek help. But I've also experienced relief that comes from finally feeling listened to and understood. "Healing through meeting" is my mantra. Whatever you're going through, I'm committed to meeting you with acceptance, openness and dignity. Together we can explore what it is like to be you and discover lasting ways of living better. I work with a range of clients but my lived experience has given me particular insight into the challenges faced by men, and LGBTQ+ issues. Isolation, relationship problems, low self-worth, phone addiction, porn/sex obsession and AI anxiety are common themes.

There are many reasons to look for a therapist, ranging from a crisis now to a general feeling of unhappiness, stemming from your past. Life throws up many events and difficulties and we aren't always able to solve these on our own. Anxieties, stress, feeling sad, isolation, as well as relationships, families, parenting, marriage, divorce, addictions, bereavement and loss are issues that we will all face at some point in our lives. They can leave us feeling confused and lost and without anyone to help us make sense of it. Therapy is safe, secure & non judgemental providing understanding, insight leading to change for you.

I help creatives and professionals struggling with career and self-esteem related issues. Low confidence, imposter syndrome or self-sabotage, for example, can manifest in behaviours such as workaholism and burnout or conversely procrastination and under-achievement. I’m familiar with these issues helping clients work through and overcome them.

Therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships. It can reveal aspects of yourself that you have taken for granted, such as overworking, over-rationalizing, people-pleasing, or dismissing your own needs and emotions. These patterns emerge because they once served us at different points in life, but what may have been helpful in the past doesn’t always serve us in adulthood. Many clients are motivated to explore these unexamined aspects of themselves—what I often refer to as their 'autopilot'—and to gain greater awareness of how these tendencies shape their relationships and sense of self.

We exist with quiet confidence & inner knowing when our interiority is in alignment with our external lives.  My background in western Psychology has given me an amazing understanding of the diagnostic process, however, I believe true healing comes from looking at our emotional and mental lives and exploring deeply and insightfully the things that keep us emotionally regulated.

I love my work and am blessed to be able to work with clients at a crossroads in their lives and help them break through current difficulties by understanding how ingredients in their past are obstructing their progress and their decision making. We work together to unlock unhelpful beliefs and find freedom from dynamics that are holding them back, at home and in the workplace, in relationships with partners, family members and friends. No problem is ever too small and it is often the ones you feel embarrassed to bring that are key to unlocking the problem.

Imagine facing challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming or that you are not living to your full potential because certain aspects of your identity make you feel marginalised. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulties stemming from your identity, sexuality, or personal relationships. You might seek a supportive space to explore these feelings without judgment. You seek understanding and tools to help navigate life's complexities and wish to align more closely with your authentic self.

I never thought I would need therapy. My relationship with my wife was great. I was the managing director of a successful company. Then life got tough and we found ourselves in crisis. Going to couple therapy together saved our marriage! We’ve been back to therapy many times to keep our relationship on course. What I learned from our couple therapy and my years of one-to-one psychotherapy transformed my marriage and my life. The results of the therapy impressed me so much I decided to change career. I wanted to offer the valuable insights and knowledge I had learned to other individuals and couples in distress.

My therapy offers couples and individuals a safe space in which to reflect on and discuss concerns, explore different perspectives and consider ways to resolve difficulties. Difficulties, to name a few may relate to committing to a relationship, moving in together, communication breakdown, not feeling valued and heard, infidelity, separation, divorce, sudden illness and life stages. Sexual problems like vaginismus, pain on penetration, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, one partner wanting more sex than the other could also impact the relationship.
