I have worked as a therapist for the past 22 years in private practice. It is my great privilege to be with people at perhaps the most difficult times in their lives what ever the circumstances. It is my experience that all of us long for connection to ourselves and others - essentially to be met as a person - regardless of presenting issue.

I work as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Psychoanalysis is a talking therapy, well positioned to address some of the difficulties that can remain unresolved within contemporary medical and wellbeing approaches. If you are interested in understanding why things seem to go wrong, why certain patterns keep repeating, or why you find yourself returning to familiar positions in relationships and life, psychoanalysis offers a space in which these questions can be explored.
I offer a limited number of low cost places and a helpline service which you can access through my website.

Men's Mental Health, Anxiety & Relationship Counselling
If your mind rarely switches off, you may find yourself overthinking, replaying conversations, or feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts. Even when you want things to feel calmer, it can be difficult to step out of these patterns. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy concerns, particularly where overthinking and emotional overwhelm begin to impact confidence, connection, and daily life.

Many of my clients come to me facing deeply personal and often overlapping challenges.

Whether you are moving through bereavement, career transitions, or burnout, I am here to help. I also support those who have turned to substance or behavioral addictions as a way to cope with the heavy weight of isolation and stress.

My wish for each client is that they be well. Every client comes to therapy with different needs. With strong foundations in somatic, emotional and cognitive therapies, I also offer the swifter interventions of Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Some clients want a quick fix, some want to explore and experience personal development. Some clients are top down, and others are bottom up. Some clients just need to talk, some don’t want to talk at all. Recognising these needs in how I work with each individual client is essential.

I have a special interest in (i) psychotherapy for older adults, (ii) addiction and (iii) couples therapy.

I hold a real respect for the courage it takes to engage in therapy. My work draws on my experience of over 20 yrs in Mental Health, as well as my professional training. I use both to support clients as they explore the complexities of their lives and the possibilities ahead. I am experienced as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. A key difference from more symptom-focused models is that psychodynamic therapy assumes meaning beneath symptoms. Anxiety, depression, anger, even procrastination — these aren’t just problems to eliminate but communications to understand. Change can happen quickly when someone gains a clear insight to 'why'

Sexual Addiction Counsellors
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behaviour.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviours and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, alcohol and substance use medications, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behaviour takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behaviour can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviours that feel uncontrollable.
