Male Counselling in Peckham, London
My approach is to invite you to talk about yourself, about your relationships present and past, about experiences that may have shaped your ways of being with others and dealing with frustrations and disappointments, about what gives you pleasure and makes life worthwhile. Together we will begin to see why things affect you as they do, how pressures build up and become unmanageable, and how a life without these difficulties might look.

I'm a mixed-race (British-Thai) and queer trainee psychotherapist based in South London. I see therapy as a partnership, where we’ll start by building a strong and trusting relationship. I believe this is crucial to creating a sense of safety where we can explore and make sense of the difficulties you might be facing. Therapy is about having dedicated time and space to help foster curiosity about how we relate to ourselves and others.

Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Perhaps you overthink, ruminate, procrastinate? Do you have low self-esteem or self-confidence? Do you want to stop being a perfectionist? Are you finding it difficult to navigate aspects of a relationship? Are you finding it difficult to deal with loss or grief? These are the issues I work most effectively with.

I am a highly trained and registered clinical psychologist, with over 10 years of experience in the NHS. Most of the people I see come because they are feeling unsatisfied with their life, are struggling to meet their expectations of themselves, or are finding that anxiety or depression is getting in the way of work or relationships. Some come because they just want to understand themselves better. My aim is to help you understand what is stuck and, in doing so, help you to feel more free to live life as you would choose.

I’m a psychotherapeutic counsellor experienced in working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, and with diverse needs. My way of working is integrative, and aims to bridge the past, the present and beyond. The issues bringing you into therapy might, for example, be the result of early wounding, a present-day struggle or crisis, or perhaps something you can’t quite put your finger on - a sense of being stuck, a neglected or under-served longing for greater meaning and connection. Whatever your reasons for seeking help and support, my aim is to accompany you as you explore and make sense of them.

When we are perhaps feeling a little stuck, in pain or in moments of crisis it can be difficult to know where to even start to make sense of what is going on for you. Knowing where to take those feelings and emotions can be a daunting task. It is my view that therapy can be a good place to start, and help you start to make sense of what you are experiencing and going through. If you are struggling with a specific issue or wish to gain a better understanding of yourself, I provide a space where you can talk openly free from judgement with an experienced and empathetic therapist.

I like helping people resolve trauma & also helping people with anxiety such as health concerns. I am also skilled in helping people experiencing depression and low self-esteem. CBT has much evidence to support it being effective in treating common mental health issues by unlocking unhelpful thoughts and unhelpful behaviours which keep people stuck. We would work together to help you achieve your goals. I find that approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) alongside CBT combined are often more effective and therapy needs to be at your pace to be successful.

As an integrative practitioner, I will draw from existential, psychodynamic, and relational approaches, depending on what you bring to therapy.

I have extensive experience working long and short term with LGBTQ+, men of all creed as well as the South-East Asian community.
You may already know what you want from therapy or you may feel that something is not quite right but you’re not sure what. Perhaps you’re looking for help to make sense of your current feelings. Maybe you are feeling painful emotions or want to improve relationships or get a better understanding of yourself. Perhaps you're feeling unsettled due to bereavement, separation, or health issues. Maybe you're feeling anxiety or stress. Well done for admitting that things aren't quite right and for starting your journey to bring back control. Counselling can provide a confidential space to bring clarity and order to your thoughts.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
