About me
Welcome — a place where you matter
I work with adults from all walks of life, offering a supportive, grounded space where meaningful change can take place. Much of my work is helping people make sense of painful experiences and the patterns that no longer serve them.
A little about me
Before training as a therapist I spent over a decade as a nurse — in high-dependency care and then in NHS drug and alcohol services. I trained at Re-Vision in London in integrative psychosynthesis and I’m a registered member of the BACP, with continuing study in trauma, antagonistic relationships, and working with men.
Who I work with
Many of the people I see are living with depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, stress, anger, sexual abuse, or substance misuse. These experiences can be exhausting, and often have deeper roots. Together we can explore them safely, compassionately, and without pressure.
Specialist Areas
I specialise in trauma and relationship difficulties — experiences that can leave us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and caught in repetitive patterns. I also have a particular focus on working with men.
Trauma (PTSD & CPTSD). I support people navigating the aftermath of shock or long-term/repeated trauma, working gradually to reduce overwhelm and build inner stability.
Antagonistic relationships. Whether current or past — a partner, family, or the workplace — these dynamics can leave a lasting imprint on your self-esteem, your boundaries, and your sense of who you are, and can give rise to trauma or deepen what’s already there. I offer space to untangle their effects, rediscover your voice, and reclaim yourself.
Working with men. Many men come to therapy unsure whether it’s really for them, or unused to giving much room to their inner life. I aim to offer a space where that can soften — where it’s possible to slow down, speak honestly about what’s hard, and find words for things that may have gone unspoken for a long time. Whatever brings you, my hope is that you’ll feel met here as you are.
How I work
I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore whatever has brought you to therapy. My approach is relational and trauma-informed: I attend not only to what you think and feel but to how it lives in the body and shows up in the present moment between us. Rather than applying a single method, I draw on my integrative training to follow what’s actually happening for you, so that together we find the way of working that fits.
This isn’t only about understanding what’s going on, but about how you relate to yourself in the midst of it — which can open new perspectives and give you greater freedom to choose how you want to be, set your boundaries, and connect with others.
Practical details
I see clients in person in Shoreditch, East London — with rooms on Brick Lane and Hanbury Street — and online. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly, at £90. I offer a limited number of sessions for people who would benefit from therapy but can't manage my standard fee. If this applies to you I'm happy to have a straightforward conversation about what's possibile when we first speak.
I offer a free 15-minute phone or Zoom consultation first, so we can get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether we might work well together.
Taking the next step
If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to get in touch. You don’t have to face things alone.
Diversity & inclusion
I welcome diversity of all kinds. I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and hold space to explore the richness and interplay of family background, culture, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and neurodiversity. My pronouns are he/him.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Re-Vision - pioneers of Integrative Transpersonal Therapy training in the UK - completing a Diploma in Counselling in 2015 and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy in 2018. I'm registered with the BACP and have been seeing clients in private practice for over 10 years. In addition, I have 6 years experience of working in NHS Drug and Alcohol Services which included sitting on an advisory panel for Public Health England.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
