Life can be incredibly unfair, unkind, cruel and traumatic. I’ve experienced first hand the need for compassionate support and therefore offer a supportive and confidential space to explore your experiences. Whether you're feeling overwhelm, isolation, trauma, suicide or seeking change or personal growth, I will walk alongside you. Together, we can work through challenges, foster resilience and embrace your authentic self. As a neurodiverse mental health professional, I understand many of the unique challenges and strengths of diverse minds.

I am trained in person-centred and psychodynamic modalities, however, it is the relationship that facilitates change, healing and growth. In session we might navigate your journey by exploring your past, understanding your present and building a better future. I have walked this road and remain committed to change, helping others find a better way of being.

The actuality of Life transcends the binary of black or white; it’s often more an intricately layered balance and blend of both. Deep within this rainbow of grey, we can discover the richness of experience and opportunities in life, which is unique to every individual on their journey. This is where we will connect, where change begins and growth occurs.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ian as a counsellor. Having trained together and then watched his practice emerge, I believe him to be a deeply thoughtful, client-focussed and comforting presence.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Person-Centred
Psychodynamic

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. This means offering warm, attuned presence while also exploring how past experiences may echo into the present. The modality isn't necessarily the key, it's the relationship, the connection between us that facilitates healing, change and growth.
