As a qualified & experienced counsellor I feel comfortable in dealing with a variety of issues that affect our mental health including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, relational difficulties, domestic & family abuse (verbal, physical and sexual), issues surrounding sexuality, gender and identity. Those who seek my help are often looking to change how they feel about a specific event, develop their self understanding and awareness so that they are more able to deal with difficult situations and emotions or to change patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them. I offer both short and long term work.

If you're dealing with porn, compulsive sex, or a relapse cycle you can't break, you're in the right place. The pattern keeps coming back because the root has never been touched. Willpower fights the behaviour. My work goes to the source. Six years working with men 1:1 on this. I've been through it myself and know what it takes to close it for good. The anxiety, the stress, the emptiness underneath. That is what drives it. Each session we work through your specific triggers using Mind Shifting, clearing what sits beneath each one before moving to the next. You leave each session feeling the difference, not hoping something shifted.

If work has pushed you past your limits, you may recognise the pattern. Exhausted but wired. Irritable with people you care about. Unable to switch off, and starting to wonder whether this is burnout or something more like depression. Many of my clients are professional men who carried this for a long time before contacting anyone. Therapy with me is confidential and practical, and we work to a plan agreed between us.

Hi, perhaps you may be living with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, or mood disorders. You might feel weighed down by past experiences, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, and unsure how to move forward. You want relief from persistent emotional pain and a greater sense of steadiness within yourself. Your goal is to feel safe in your own mind and body, to understand your story with compassion, and to build a life guided by choice rather than shaped by past wounds. While I have a personal mission to support male mental health, especially those who feel the pressures of the online world, I welcome all.

We can't choose differently until we can see differently. Most of us spend years repeating the same patterns without knowing why. The same arguments. The same relationships, different people. The same feeling that something is slightly off — that life doesn't quite fit. Why therapy? That's why. I work from a psychodynamic perspective with an integrative approach. Through our work together, difficult symptoms often begin to ease, but I'm also interested in what's underneath them. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-worth rarely appear without a reason.

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.
