If you are struggling with your emotions, relationships or feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, psychotherapy could help bring about meaningful change. I provide a non-judgmental space to explore underlying dynamics and emotional conflicts. Gaining a better understanding of yourself can make it possible to move away from the unhelpful patterns and can help facilitate healthy developments within your personal and professional life.

Are your days filled by constant stress, endless pressures and never ending to-do lists? Do you worry about what other people think and how to make them happy? Are you running yourself ragged while trying to keep your head above water? Do you think about all the things you just ‘have’ to do tomorrow? Do you question whether all you’re doing is even enough? And even as you try to fall asleep at night… Do you replay everything you could have done differently? When things aren’t working, it’s easy to feel… Powerless. Overwhelmed. Stuck. Frustrated. Like you don’t have any control. And you start thinking your needs aren't important.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist offering both individual and couples therapy in central St Albans. At the heart of my approach is the safe, trusting relationship I share with my clients. While I support my clients in directing the course of their therapy, I’m not afraid to offer challenge and to guide a little, if I believe it's therapeutically appropriate to do so. As a man, I’m something of a rarity in the world of counselling, and that perhaps gives me a niche perspective that both male and female clients can benefit from.

I use EMDR to help people process trauma (PTSD and C-PTSD). My clients are typically living with a range of issues - flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, night terrors, palpitations, catastrophising, insomnia, feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt. They also very often experience 'triggering' - making everyday life, work and relationships difficult. Additionally, they may not remember aspects of what has happened to them and others ('dissociation'.) People come to me for EMDR to enable them to reduce the disturbance levels in their nervous systems and hence, get on with their lives.

I am an accredited trauma therapist with extensive training and experience of many different types of trauma.
Are you experiencing the symptoms of trauma: flashbacks, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, anger, disrupted relationships and difficulties in your working life? Perhaps, you are suffering with disrupted sleep, dissociation (mental and physical). Maybe you have lived with some of these symptoms for a long time and have grown to consider them normal. You may now be at the point where you want to and feel able to do something about this because you want to get on and enjoy your life.

Modern dynamic therapies can help you overcome many types of psychological problems.
I am very good at treating people with Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, as well as those with traumatic experiences. I apply a very modern and effective type of dynamic psychotherapy called Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). I work on repressed feelings and emotions and help you to get rid of the pain and suffer to become a mature personality. For most people, psychological stress and unresolved traumas are so overwhelming that often leads to many other problems, such as low perfor mance, low confidence, unpleasant encounters and a gradual destruction of well-being. If left untreated, these psychological issues can be transferred from one generation to the next, due to its lasting effects on children. Modern treatments in psychotherapy can help you overcome many types of psychological problems. People suffering from these problems can be helped to regain their sense of pride, efficiency, and effectiveness. My clients need to be well motivated, and cooperative.

After many years working in the Film and Theatre industry I decided to retrain and studied at CPPD, one of London’s leading counselling schools and after completion of my level 7 qualification, I began to operate my private practice in 2015 and am now working in Hertford both in person and online.
I provide a safe, gentle and non judgemental space to talk. As an integrative counsellor, I accept that as individuals we are all unique and have different needs when seeking therapy and support. I believe that it is ultimately the relationship between the client and therapist that is fundamental for a trusting, understanding and safe therapeutic alliance and this allows for the opportunity to explore your feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour.

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.
