About Me

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

You may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, anger, loss or low mood. Perhaps you’re good at getting on with things, but underneath you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or finding yourself repeating patterns you don’t quite understand.

I’m a Gestalt psychotherapist offering face-to-face therapy in Croydon and Peckham, as well as online.

I have particular interests in working with men, neurodivergent clients including people with ADHD and autism, and people working in emergency-service or other high-pressure environments.

As a Black British male psychotherapist, I also welcome conversations around race, culture, identity and belonging where these are important to your experience.

I hold an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counselling.

Wherever you’re starting from, we can begin there.

My Approach

What might therapy with me actually be like?

As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I’m interested in your story and what has happened in your life, but also in how those experiences are showing up for you now.

We might notice a feeling that’s difficult to put into words, something happening in your body, or the ways you become anxious, angry, withdraw or protect yourself when something feels uncomfortable.

I’m warm, curious and engaged. I won’t tell you how to live your life, but I won’t simply sit silently either.

Sometimes I may gently challenge you, invite us to slow something down, or become curious with you about something we’re noticing.

Therapy with me is something we do together. The aim isn’t to change who you are, but to help you understand yourself and your patterns more clearly, so that you have greater choice in how you respond.

I work with

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

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 work with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism. Therapy might include exploring overwhelm, emotional regulation, relationships, masking or feeling misunderstood. Rather than assuming there’s one right way to think, feel or communicate, we can find a way of working that makes sense for you.
Anger isn’t always the whole story. We can become curious about what happens when you become angry, what you notice in your body and what might be happening underneath it. The aim isn’t simply to suppress anger, but to understand your relationship with it and develop more choice in how you respond.
Anxiety can show up in different ways. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, struggling to switch off or noticing anxiety physically in your body. Together we can slow things down and become curious about what is happening, rather than simply trying to make the feeling disappear.
As a Black British male psychotherapist, I recognise that race, culture, identity and belonging can shape how we experience ourselves, our families and our relationships. These experiences can have space in our work when they’re important to you, without having to define everything we talk about.
You may be used to getting on with things and carrying responsibility, but find that you’re becoming exhausted, irritable or unable to switch off. I work with stress related to work, relationships and the pressures of everyday life, including people working in emergency-service and other high-pressure environments.
