Love, sex and personal relationships are where we manage our hopes, fears and vulnerabilities. When our connection with ourselves and others is good it feels transformative. When it isn’t it can be extremely distressing. I offer an integrative approach to relationship and psychosexual therapy to work with you, whether single or in a couple. I work with monogamous as well as open/polyamorous relationships. Troubled relationships, arguing, erection issues, loss of desire, anxiety, painful sex, vaginismus, premature ejaculation, or shame about porn use, kinks. This can all change.

Reaching out can be difficult. Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, unsettled, lost your way, or uncomfortable with whom you have become. The difficulties within our lives can change who we are or how we see the world. It can lead to thoughts or behaviours that take us away from who we are, resulting in a feeling of something not being right, struggling to cope or to make sense of things. When entering therapy, our life experiences enter too, and healing occurs within the processing. We will work together to build trust and explore your emotions and thoughts within a non-judgemental and safe environment, working at your own pace.

Many people come to therapy feeling caught in recurring relationship patterns that are difficult to shift.
Conversations may escalate quickly, or there may be a growing sense of distance, frustration, or emotional disconnection over time.
These experiences often feel confusing and isolating, especially when they seem to repeat in similar ways.
I work with adults who experience cycles of relationship conflict, anger or anxiety, and want to better understand what is happening beneath the surface.

Hiya, I'm Paul, a Gestalt Psychotherapist. You are doubtless here because you need affirming support. Gestalt is wonderful as it respects a person's symptoms as creative adjustments rather than illnesses. Your life is always in process and living it is all that's needed to maintain its flow; one way you may not be doing this is by telling yourself, or having been told by others how you should do this. This won't help your sense of self but lose sight of how and what you are. I will work with you to make you feel safe, understood and validated so that through the simple experience of being you do not seek to be what you are not.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed? Maybe it's pressure at work, a difficult relationship, or a growing sense that something needs to change. You may already know exactly what's wrong but haven't found a way through it yet. Many of the men I work with have spent a long time managing on their own before reaching out. Some arrive with a specific difficulty in mind. Others just want space to think honestly about what's going on, with someone outside their work, family, and friendships.

Are you overwhelmed with events, feelings or relationships? Have you reached the point where you just need some support? You might be struggling with your past, with relationships, a bereavement or feeling a pressure to be something you're not. Many of my clients have had early life experiences that are really difficult to bear, contributing to anxiety, depression or both. They are coping, and surviving, but maybe in ways that they don't want to do any more.

I specialise in supporting adults with ADHD traits, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, shame, and masking. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a gentle, affirming space for sensitive and ND clients.
-You struggle to concentrate, especially at work
-You find it hard to be assertive, and avoid conflict at all costs
-You don't feel like you can be yourself in front of work colleagues and family members

Many of my clients grew up feeling unseen or unheard — carrying childhood wounds, family dysfunction, or old patterns that still shape their lives today. Whatever issue has brought you to search for a therapist, I believe the heart of therapy is the relationship itself. When you feel truly seen and accepted, something shifts — old patterns soften, trust grows, and real change becomes possible.

I endeavour to provide a safe, comfortable, quiet space for clients to explore sensitive issues. The relationship between myself and the client is at the heart of my approach. I believe that being with a client and offering a compassionate holding presence while they share their story is essential to establish a therapeutic working alliance before offering insight and psycho education. I adapt my approach to suit the needs of each client and integrate suitable interventions or tools work with whatever issue the client is presenting.

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
