Taking the decision to seek therapy is daunting, but you're here because something is not right. Maybe you know what it is, maybe you're not sure. You may not be certain that you want to talk about it or it might be constantly at the front of your mind, but no-one's listening. You could also be confused about what therapy is or what type you think you might need. Imagine a safe, confidential space where you could talk without any fear of being judged and knowing that the person listening to you will always respond genuinely to you. This is what I will endeavour to offer you if you felt we could work together.

Often, we’re so busy keeping the wheels turning that we don't notice the engine is stalling. I help men look 'under the bonnet' to understand what’s driving their stress, anger, or anxiety. Whether it’s burnout from a high-pressure career or struggling with a sense of loss, I provide a down-to-earth, jargon-free space to figure things out. With 13 years of experience and a background in the corporate world, I understand that you want practical solutions, not just talk.

Therapy means different things to different people. For some, it's about changing a particular behaviour or learning to better manage emotions. For others, it's a space to unpack experiences and gain deeper understanding. Sometimes it's all of these—or something else entirely. My strength lies in helping clients explore, reflect and make sense of their inner world. I aim to create a space that’s safe, accepting, and non-directive, so we can work together to understand why you feel, think, or behave the way you do. Through insight, we can uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move toward the life you want.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I have a specialism in supporting veterans, and emergency services personnel and the NHS.
Something feels wrong and maybe it has for a while. You're holding it together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, anxious, or just not yourself. You might not even be able to name it. You just know things can't carry on like this. You might be a someone who's been putting off getting help for longer than you'd like to admit. Maybe you find asking for support doesn't come naturally. Or you're simply someone carrying more than you should be, alone. Whatever's brought you here you're in the right place.

I want to sit with you as you reconnect with your inner strength, build resilience, and move toward a life that makes sense to you, meaningful, balanced, and truly your own. Starting counselling can feel daunting, I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start, I didn't. You simply need a space where you are seen, heard, and respected,  exactly as you are. Therapy doesn't work because I have the 'right' answers, it works because over time, we work together building a safe theraputic relationship, which allows difficult feelings, thoughts and experiences to be explored at your pace.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming — even when, from the outside, everything seems fine. You may be coping with loss, anxiety, trauma, or a sense of being stuck. My role is to offer a calm, confidential space where you can begin to explore what’s happening and gently make sense of it, at your own pace. I’m an integrative therapist with extensive experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and bereavement. I’m also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a highly effective approach for those affected by trauma and PTSD.

I have experience in military environments and the charity sector.
You might be here because you are struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions and you are looking for someone to talk to in order to help you make sense of it and to find some relief. I hope that I might be able to help. I am a psychotherapist working with adults in weekly psychodynamic therapy. The aim of the therapy is to take time to discover and understand the layers of your mind; how you have come to interact with the world and people around you via the experiences in your past, and how that affects your life now. This understanding can bring a deep-seated sense of relief and an opportunity for long-term change.

I understand that considering to approach someone to discuss private and intimate matters is not easy, but this can be life changing. Experiencing emotional difficulties that affect your moods and behaviour are more common than you think. This can significantly impact a wide range of aspects in your day-to-day life and relationships. Therapy is often an effective way to reach a better understanding of yourself and the causes of your emotional discomfort. It may also help you to find the best way forward to overcome challenges and move on to experience meaningful life improvements simultaneously alleviating pressures and stress.
