There are times in all our lives when we would benefit from some help and support. It can be difficult deciding who to see. With that in mind I offer all prospective clients an opportunity for us to meet face to face and discuss how I can help and for you to decide if I am the right person. I don’t charge for this and there is no assumption on my part that you will return, that would be your choice. I have extensive experience in many areas and am confident I can help you help yourself. Things can and do change for the better . . . there is light at the end of the tunnel. Individual sessions last 50mins and couples sessions 70mins.

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes it feels like you’re just trying to keep your head above water. Anxiety, loss, relationship struggles, or the challenges of neurodiversity can make it hard to see a way forward. Maybe self-doubt keeps creeping in, or familiar patterns leave you feeling stuck. You don’t just want to talk—you want something that helps. A space that feels safe but also gives you the tools to move forward. You need therapy that’s both structured and flexible, practical yet deeply understanding, helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and create real change.

Modern life often leaves us feeling disconnected—from our bodies, our calm, and the world around us. Perhaps you feel "stuck" in your head, constantly overthinking, or physically carrying the weight of stress and anxiety. You don't have to stay there. I provide a space where we can slow down and listen to what your mind and body are trying to tell you, helping you move from a state of "surviving" to one of genuine presence.

Many people come to therapy with symptoms that feel confusing or difficult to explain. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, panic, or find yourself caught in repeating patterns that you can’t seem to shift. You might feel overwhelmed or unsure why these reactions keep showing up. Often, these struggles have roots in earlier experiences or protective ways you learned to cope. Therapy offers space to understand what’s beneath the symptoms, to feel less alone with what you’re carrying, and to move toward real and lasting change.

I’m an EMDR-trained psychotherapist working with trauma, addiction, and the patterns that quietly organise a life. Before psychotherapy, I worked in the international art world — a way of seeing I still carry: attention to what is held in the body, what repeats, what resists language. I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as nervous systems shaped by experience. Therapy becomes a steady, boundaried space where what has been carried alone can be met, felt, and slowly reworked — until something more liveable, and more your own, begins to take shape.

When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
