My Approach

My journey shaped the therapist I am today.
I don’t just bring credentials - I bring compassion, honesty, and a deep understanding of what it means to be human in the face of adversity.
Think of it this way: if you were climbing a mountain, would you choose someone who’s qualified but only read about it - or someone who is qualified and has made the climb many times themselves, and can walk beside you with wisdom and care?
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here - and it would be an honour to walk with you.

About Me

You don’t have to face it alone.
Life can be overwhelming - especially when you're navigating anxiety, depression, emotional turmoil, identity struggles or neurodiversity. If you’ve found yourself feeling lost, stuck or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long, I want you to know: there is hope, and healing is possible.
As a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, my work is grounded not just in theory - but in lived experience. I know what it’s like to wrestle with substance use, depression, anxiety, feelings of despair, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, emotional dysregulation and questions of identity. These aren’t just concepts to me - they’re realities I’ve lived through and moved beyond, with the support of gifted therapists and a commitment to deep personal work.
For some time now, I’ve also had the privilege of providing therapy to fellow counsellors and psychotherapists - holding space for those who hold space for others.
I’m here to walk alongside you.
Whatever you're going through - whether it's emotional pain, confusion, overwhelm or the sense that you're not quite yourself - I offer a space where your struggles are heard, held, and honoured.
My intention is to support you in exploring how these experiences are impacting your life and your sense of self. Together, we can begin to untangle what feels heavy and create room for clarity, insight and change.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you - because you are not broken. It’s about nurturing what already exists within you: your strength, your truth, your capacity to heal.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I have significant experience supporting adoptive and foster parents, as well as young people in care with compassion and deep understanding. Through my work with Headsight Services, I’ve helped families navigate the unique pressures of adoption - supporting them to meet their children’s complex needs while setting kind, firm and thoughtful boundaries. I offer a non-judgemental space where each family’s journey is honoured and nurturing relationships can grow.
Exploring identity can be a deeply personal and sometimes challenging journey. As a male therapist, I offer a grounded, open and respectful space for clients to reflect on who they are beneath external expectations and internalised narratives. I’m passionate about supporting people in discovering a more authentic sense of self, where all parts of their identity are acknowledged, valued and empowered.
I have extensive experience supporting parents facing a wide range of challenges with a compassionate, trauma-informed approach at the heart of my work. Drawing on therapeutic parenting strategies, Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), and psycho-education (particularly around attachment, child developmental needs, emotional triggers and de-escalation). I help parents feel more confident and connected in their role. I have particular expertise in supporting families dealing with child-to-parent violence, creating space for calm, respectful and effective change.
Spirituality can be a powerful source of meaning, connection and inner strength - especially in times of healing. I hold space for clients exploring spiritual questions, whether rooted in a faith tradition, nature, intuition or a personal sense of the sacred, and I deeply honour the journey of trusting the process and the unfolding of the universe. Together we can gently explore how your spiritual path can support your growth, healing and sense of wholeness.
Trauma is not what happens to us, but what happens inside us as a result - and healing begins when we feel truly seen, safe and supported. My work is informed by the compassionate insights of Gabor Maté, Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, and I bring years of experience helping individuals gently reconnect with their inner resilience. I offer a warm, grounded space where your story matters, and together, we can begin the process of healing with care and curiosity.
