I use clinical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy to help you solve your problems - fast. When you are stressed, addicted, have behavioural problems, phobias, sexual issues, traumatised, high anxiety or depression, you may have tried many avenues without success but I can help you fix things fast. The work we do is very in-depth and always positive as I help you build the skills you need to avoid those problems in the future and feel better quickly. From the first session we start to change what you are doing and experiencing. You want therapy to be empowering. I know your time and money are precious.

Many different events will impact our lives, most of the time we can deal with them, other times we cannot. A difficult childhood, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness or accident, a toxic work environment, sexuality & gender, unemployment, the current pandemic affecting our world or just being at a new stage of our lives can cause us to feel lost within ourselves and the wider world. This can lead to anxiety or depression, it can affect our self-esteem and disconnect us from everyone around us, leaving us isolated and alone.

I'm Jay (they/them), a transmasculine non-binary counselor with a focus on supporting people in the LGBTIQ+ community, neurodivergent folk, and others who feel like their identity or lifestyle is stigmatised or misunderstood. I work with issues of identity, meaning, and purpose and feelings of stuckness. Maybe your life doesn't feel quite right despite (or maybe especially) it looking good on paper, or old issues are starting to bubble up now. I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to work through the issues that have brought them into therapy - however long that may take.

“This isn’t how I thought my life would turn out.” “This isn’t where I want to be!” When we’re feeling stuck or lost in our life circumstances, it can seem overwhelming and never ending. We feel alone. We can spend our days constantly thinking about what’s gone wrong, and our nights unable to sleep with all the worry. Each day becomes the same as the day before, There seems no end to it, no future without these dark thoughts. Making it harder is the fact that no one understands what we’re going through. No one knows how anxiety, hopelessness or dread can engulf us.

With over a decade of experience as a psychologist, I've worked in diverse settings, including non-profit organisations, public health institutions, and private practice. My journey has deepened a lifelong interest in yoga and meditation and inspired me to integrate principles of mindfulness, self-compassion and acceptance into my therapeutic work. By blending evidence-based Western psychological techniques with insights from Eastern philosophies, I offer a unique therapeutic approach. I create a space that is both relaxed and focused on holistic well-being, allowing for brief solution-oriented interventions and longer-term therapy.

We all struggle at some time in our lives. Most of us work through it but sometimes we need some support. Having someone to talk to, who listens and reflect your feelings and experience is a proven way to work through struggles in your life. At some stage everyone needs to work through something in the lives. If you are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, feeling like you have lost direction, you are considering or you have come out, or even going through some form of grief and loss which could be a relationship coming to an end or the loss of a loved one.

My therapy approach is trauma-sensitive, attachment-based and acknowledges that suppressed emotion and unresolved trauma is held in the body. Avoiding our emotions is one of the main contributors to mental health issues and my approach provides a greater understanding of our emotions and the behaviours that go with them. Our emotions organise our inner experience and avoiding them means missing out on the vital information they hold. For lasting change to occur, we must fully engage with our emotions, rather than fear them.
