Stop white-knuckling it through your life & relationships. I offer therapy for men navigating the pressures of modern life, couples struggling with the feeling of stuck-ness in your relationship, and for people exploring non-monogamy, polyamory, and open relationships in Birmingham and across the UK.
If you’re tired of following a script that doesn’t fit, or hitting roadblocks like a loss of purpose, unexpected jealousy or repeated arguments, I provide a space to slow down. I don’t focus on fixing what is ‘broken’ - I help you unpick stories that leave you feeling stuck so you can build on your existing strengths.
I help you map out the cycles that keep you stuck - like the 'pursuer-distancer' loop - and rewrite scripts that no longer fit. My approach is practical: we build on your existing resources to handle jealousy, anxiety, or conflict. You’ll leave with tools for honest communication and a clearer sense of direction.
As a Black, polyamorous man, I know what it’s like to feel that therapy is "not for us." You won’t have to explain the basics of your identity or lifestyle to me; I meet your complexity with curiosity, not judgment. If you're tired of feeling misunderstood or "othered," let’s talk. Ready for a real shift? Book your free 30-min call today.
