I offer a dedicated, online therapy space tailored for personalised, one-to-one sessions. At the heart of my approach is a focus on building a genuine therapeutic relationship through trust, empathy, and open dialogue. I specialise in helping men navigate challenges such as anxiety, OCD, PTSD, complex trauma, and self-esteem issues through evidence-based therapies like CBT and EMDR. What sets my practice apart is the inclusion of humour and drawing on my own experiences as a man and a father. I believe that authentic connection built from real insights can transform even the most challenging journeys into meaningful growth.
Whether you're a gay man, a father, or navigating a demanding life, therapy with me offers space for honest conversation and thoughtful guidance. Drawing on lived experience and professional training, I tailor support to your goals—helping you grow, heal, and move toward the life you want.
Finding the right therapist is personal, and the first step can feel like a big one. I offer a short intro call so you can get a sense of how I work and ask any questions. Feel free to email me your availability — I’ll call you back when I’m between sessions. Let’s take it from there.
