Do you find yourself overthinking, caught in self-criticism, or repeating patterns in your relationships that you don't fully understand? Perhaps you often put other people's needs before your own, struggle to know what you really want, or feel disconnected from yourself despite appearing to have things together on the outside. Or you're exhausted from trying to be the person you think everyone else needs you to be. My aim is to help you become more aware of what you feel and need, develop greater self-compassion, and feel more empowered to make meaningful choices that reflect who you really are.
My approach is humanistic and relational, informed by existential, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis approaches. Our work will be collaborative and conversational, combining thoughtful exploration with practical support and gentle challenge where appropriate. I particularly welcome working with men and LGBTQ+ clients.
If you're ready to begin, you can check my availability and book your first appointment through my website. My secure client portal makes scheduling straightforward and flexible, so you can choose a time that works for you. If you'd prefer to talk first, you can book an enquiry call or send a WhatsApp with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

My humanistic-integrative approach means our work is tailored entirely to you. Using Transactional Analysis, we will explore the hidden "scripts" or communication habits that might be leaving you feeling drained in relationships. Drawing on existential and gestalt ideas, we focus on the present moment, helping you navigate big life transitions and make choices that feel authentic to who you are.
