Are you looking to overcome anxiety, OCD or phobias? Perhaps you want to conquer insomnia, stress or IBS symptoms... The fact you are researching therapists is a great first step to creating the life you want. I know it can be overwhelming looking for a therapist but is also a rewarding and life-changing experience. It is because of this that I am committed to providing you with an informative, supportive and professional experience. My aim is to provide you with a safe space to reflect on your life and to help you create solutions that will get you to a place of feeling more confident, balanced and content.

I mostly work with men with anxiety and depression, I also have a special interest in OCD . I adopt an informal approach to create a space for my clients to make sense of their problems and overcome them, as I believe without an authentic, trusting relationship interventions are unlikely to be effective, particularly with men. I prioritise the therapeutic relationship from start to finish. I predominantly use CBT but have training in other models to enhance therapy. This means my style of therapy is structured, has a clear goal and provides my clients with practical tools to help.

Are you searching for compassionate, evidence-based therapy for yourself or someone you support? I support adults and young people (aged 14+) with a wide range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety and depression. I can support you to make sense of what you're experiencing, develop new insights, and achieve lasting recovery. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I'll be committed to supporting you with warmth, acceptance and compassion.

Are you struggling with fear, intrusive distressing thoughts, avoidance and generally not living the life that you want? Or are you low, hopeless, self critical and isolating yourself? I can help with these and other mental health difficulties through challenging your thoughts and making some changes to your current behaviours. CBT can also help with improving self-esteem and with overcoming phobias and past trauma. EMDR therapy is a powerful intervention for PTSD and trauma, new studies have also shown its effectiveness with anxiety disorders &grief

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. ​Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.
