About me
I work with adults who want to make sense of what’s happening in their lives — people who might wish to understand their patterns, build more satisfying relationships, or feel a stronger sense of confidence and direction.
Therapy can feel uncertain or intimidating at first, so I try to create a space that feels supportive, open, and grounded. My way of working is relational: I see the therapeutic relationship itself as central to understanding what’s happening between us — and by extension, what may be happening in your life more broadly. Sometimes that means noticing when something feels tense or uncomfortable between us and exploring it together. These moments can be rich in meaning and are often where growth happens.
My thinking draws on psychodynamic ideas about the influence of past experiences, as well as existential perspectives that explore questions of meaning, purpose, and identity. Alongside this, I often use shared cultural touchpoints — books, music, film, sport — as a way of reflecting on themes that emerge in therapy.
While I have extensive experience working with men around issues of intimacy, identity and confidence, I see people of all genders and backgrounds. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, self-esteem, stress, or a general sense of being stuck, therapy can be a space to explore and find a way forward.
Areas I often work with
Men’s experience and identity
My own introduction to therapy came through exploring what it meant to be a man in a changing world — questions about confidence, success, vulnerability, and how to live with competing expectations. I understand that this terrain can be confusing and at times painful, and it can be a relief to discuss it with someone who has navigated similar questions.
Relationships and intimacy
Love, sex, and closeness can stir up powerful feelings of shame or confusion. I’ve spent several years working in a specialist relationship therapy service and have seen how helpful it can be to talk honestly about subjects that often remain hidden or difficult to name.
Confidence and self-esteem
Low confidence can shape how we see everything — ourselves, others, and what’s possible. Talking about these feelings can bring clarity and compassion to your experience. I’m influenced by the Gestalt idea of the paradoxical theory of change — that real change begins when we accept where we are now.
Work and career pressures
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years in the tech industry. I know the strain that can come from professional life — the push to perform, questions about purpose, the clash between what you value and what’s demanded of you. Therapy can be a space to explore this with honesty and courage, and to think about what matters most.
Parenting and family life
Family life can be both joyful and overwhelming. You may love your partner and children deeply yet feel exhausted, resentful, or unsure of yourself. Therapy can offer time to think about these conflicting emotions, and about how to care for yourself alongside those you care for.
Addiction and coping
Addictive behaviours often develop as ways of managing pain, loss, or shame. Rather than judging or suppressing them, I work with you to understand what your addiction is doing for you — and what change might look like. The aim is to reduce shame and create space for choice.

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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. 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.
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).
