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.
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.
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.
