I was in my mid 20s when I needed to ask for help and I felt ashamed, embarrassed and vulnerable. However, it eventually proved to be the best thing I ever did. Not only did it help me bring resolution to many issues and emotional states, therapy grew my confidence, and took me on a new career path. I am now sitting on the other side of that journey in my late 40s, able to help others with empathy and the understanding of what it is like to experience counselling from far more than just a theoretical perspective!

I have worked extensively, but not exclusively, with male clients. From those in their 20s to their 60s. I have worked with the challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, physical and sexual abuse, relationship concerns & self worth.

As an integrative therapist, I have the ability to work with you in a variety of ways. Most importantly, I uncover your needs and tailor my approach to meet them. As a counselling tutor I find benefit in psychoeducation; helping you to understand the reasons behind your patterns, actions and behaviours. When we can understand what we do and why, we have more choice to make new decisions, and to act more consistently in our own best interests, bringing more peace and contentment.

I work holistically, and bring a strong sense of authenticity to my work. There’s no forced professional facade, the person you met in the free consultation is the person I am throughout. There’s consistency, boundaries and reliability in the way that I can show up for you. As someone well versed in trauma, safe practice is of huge importance to me, and the pace at which we work is always dictated by you.
