About me

Hello, my name is Jack - a warm welcome to you.

​Whether you’re feeling stuck, facing a specific challenge or simply want a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions, I’m here to help you navigate the journey at a rhythm that works for you.

In my experience, the therapeutic relationship is more important than anything else and therapy rarely works without it. I place great emphasis on building a strong, authentic connection and gaining a clear understanding of where you are emotionally and psychologically.

​I work in a highly relational way and carry out regular collaborative reviews throughout our time together. Rather than asking whether my approach works in general, I will often ask, “Is this approach working for you right now?” – and if not, “What can we do to adjust it?” This ongoing dialogue helps ensure that the therapy remains responsive to your evolving needs.

​In therapy, we’ll work together to make sense of your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. We may explore how past experiences could be shaping your present and how this might be affecting your relationships and overall sense of wellbeing. As we begin to build greater self-awareness, we can start making more informed, compassionate, and healthier choices moving forward.

​Therapy isn’t always easy - it can be challenging and sometimes uncomfortable - but it can also be a space for creativity, humour, laughter, and genuine connection. Whatever comes up, I’ll be right there with you, supporting you every step of the way. 

I’m a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy to individuals aged 18 and over. Sessions are available in person in Kings Cross (WC1X 9DE) or online.

​In addition to my private practice, I have several years of experience working in the charity sector, including within a community bereavement service. This has involved supporting clients through complex grief, loss, and a wide range of existential issues.

​People have come to me for help with a range of issues these include Abuse, ADHD, anger, anxiety, autism, depression, difficult family dynamics, identity issues, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and stress. If you're struggling with something I haven't mentioned, don't let that stop you from getting in touch. I'm not the pushy type, and if I genuinely feel I am not the best person to help you, I will let you know - and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Finding the right therapist and reaching out for support can feel extremely daunting - believe me, I know! Please feel free to get in touch to arrange a free, informal 20-minute chat.

​During this conversation, we can explore what has brought you to this point and what you’re hoping to get from therapy. I’m happy to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have. This is an opportunity for you to get a sense of who I am and what working together might be like.

​After our call, there’s no obligation or pressure to proceed - you’re welcome to contact me again if and when you feel ready to begin your therapy sessions.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

Further information

The therapeutic model I practise is integrative, meaning I draw upon a range of theoretical approaches to create a coherent and flexible framework tailored to each individual client. My work is underpinned by Petruska Clarkson’s Five Relationship Model, which provides a robust foundation for relational depth and therapeutic effectiveness.

This integrative approach enables me to utilise a  variety of techniques and theories, allowing for a more personalised and responsive therapeutic process. In my experience, clients benefit greatly when the therapist is able to adapt their methods, drawing from a diverse toolkit to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My room in Kings Cross is located on the 1st floor, and the building has a lift. It is wheelchair accessible.
