Clients generally come to me when they are struggling with some aspect of their emotions, thoughts or behaviour. My aim is to help my client with accepting or changing some aspect of these three areas. Every client comes with unique issues and from my seat I view the issues as one, "a block in the road to wellness". I am keenly aware that all clients come with individual goals and I am here to help. Many of my clients use the phrase “I just want to feel better". This is my hope for everyone who engages with me in therapy. “TO FEEL BETTER” I offer confidentiality, openness and transparency at all times.

It isn't often, in our everyday lives, that we feel truly heard, understood and accepted without sensing judgement or criticism from others. I deeply acknowledge and understand the loneliness that comes from struggling in silence with life's difficulties. Therapy offers you a calm space to begin to tell your story; permission to pause and reflect on what you have been through, validate your response to trauma and loss and gently navigate the path forward. I will support you on your therapeutic journey, gently empowering you to realise your inner resources and ways of coping and navigating your world so that you feel more in control.

Although I regularly work with clients of all ages and genders, the majority of my clients tend to be young men, who have unresolved feelings or experiences which are impacting on their daily lives. I work as an integrative counsellor, from a person-centred perspective. This means that you can bring whatever you wish to the session, while we work at your pace and depth. I employ theory and techniques from CBT, psychodynamic and other therapeutic philosophies which I feel may be useful. Where we start is not the important thing as ultimately, you will naturally discover the things that matter the most to you.

Are you an LGBT+ person looking to gain some clarity with your purpose or your identity? Perhaps you feel isolated, angry and are missing out on connections with friends and family. This can suffocate the parts of your life which should bring you joy; this unhappiness can lead to further disconnect with those around you. Feel like you have "too many tabs open" in your life and struggling to keep up with things?

There is a wide variety of reasons why you might be looking for a psychotherapist, but perhaps everyone wants to change ingrained states of mind, and to live in a rewarding and productive way. It's difficult, but the aim of analytic work is to get to grips with persistent problems. It holds out the hope of finding new decisiveness and flexibility in living.

Life can often rush past us and we can forget about ourselves, who we are, and what it is we want and need, whilst everyone else in our lives comes before we do. You might be realising that you want more from your life and for that to happen, changes need to be made. Maybe you have realised it is something that is not possible for you to do alone, and that working out what boundaries you can put in place is something that you can benefit from. Trying to get through these challenges alone can make us feel overwhelmed and unsure about who we are, and if change is even possible.

If you are looking for help with emotional and relationship difficulties, psychotherapy can help you to explore your current difficulties and to understand those in the context of your life. Therapy can help you to identify destructive patterns in relationships and to see how these are rooted in the past and the unconscious dynamics behind them. Through this process, new ways of relating in your personal life can be developed. Individual therapy can vary in frequency with the number of sessions per week ranging from once or twice a week.

Sometimes life can feel chaotic and out-of-control. Perhaps you struggle with a sense of helplessness - like your usual ways of coping just don't work anymore. Or perhaps you are anxious or depressed. Maybe you have feelings that don't make sense or come out of nowhere. You might be going through a difficult bereavement or loss that is disrupting your life and has left you stuck. Or maybe you just want to make a change to your life but don't know where to start.

Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by life and we don't recognize why we feel the way we do. This can lead to us feeling disconnected with others but also with ourselves. Sometimes the problem is not always clear and by talking things through in a safe space, it can help us understand what is happening. Navigating issues through a therapeutic relationship can empower us to progress in your journey of self-discovery and thrive in life. I can offer you a safe, confidential space for you to feel heard, bring any issues that may be affecting you and your ability to flourish.

We all need someone to not only listen to us, but to truly see and hear us. You might choose to work with me if you're experiencing difficulties in areas such as work or relationships, anxiety (including social anxiety), grief, depression, low self esteem, low self confidence and lack of motivation. You may just be feeling sad or low and simply don't know where to start. I aim to provide a warm, welcoming space for you to explore the causes of these uncomfortable emotions in a safe environment.
