About me
My name is Alan, I support males all over the UK, aged 18-30 who've survived sexual harm to live healthy lives with fulfilling relationships and careers. You've had enough of trying to push through this alone, you've realised you can't think your way out of the trauma and you are looking for a new solution.
You might've tried all sorts to cope: Drinking. Drugs. Porn. Self-Harm. - and lets face it, they might've helped in the short term but they're certainly not sustainable. What if you felt genuine change in those troubled parts of your life?
This is where I come in.
I offer men, like you, the chance to feel a real change in how your life feels. I work with men to establish the tasks we need to take to help them hit their goals, and then use a range of tools to take those steps. There is no such thing as a one size fits all approach in therapy, so treatment plans are individual to every man.
I offer a free 20 minute consultation, which is a space for you to ask questions about me and my work. Therapy doesn't have to be a rash decision, I encourage the men I work with to move at a comfortable pace, and make sure that I am the right guy for them.
You can contact me here if you'd like to book in the free 20 minute consultation! Take care, Alan

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
