About me
Bereavement can change almost every part of life. You might be experiencing intense sadness, anger, guilt or loneliness. You might feel numb, lost or disconnected from the people around you. Or perhaps you feel as though everyone else has returned to normal while you are still trying to work out how to live with what has happened.
Grief can also bring other things to the surface. A bereavement may affect your relationships, identity, confidence or sense of purpose, or you may find yourself experiencing anxiety, depression, anger or difficulties that were already there before your loss. We can make space for these things too.
There is no single way to grieve, and no timetable you have to follow.
I'm Jack, a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Alongside my private practice, I have several years' experience working in the charity sector, including within a community bereavement service. During this time, I supported people experiencing complex grief, loss and a range of existential difficulties.
I offer a warm and compassionate space where you can talk openly about your loss and whatever else you're carrying. You don't need to have the right words, understand exactly what you're feeling or know what you want from therapy. We can start wherever you are.
My approach is highly relational. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is central to the work, and I'll take time to understand you as an individual rather than trying to fit your experience into a particular formula. We'll work collaboratively, regularly checking in about how therapy is feeling and whether what we're doing is helpful for you.
Although bereavement and loss are an important part of my practice, you don't need to have experienced a recent death to come to me. I also work with people navigating other significant life changes, relationships, identity, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and other difficulties.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy to adults aged 18 and over, either in person in King's Cross, London or online.
If you're considering counselling, you're welcome to get in touch for a free, informal 20-minute conversation. We can talk about what's brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for and any questions you might have. There's no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards — it's simply an opportunity to see whether I might be the right counsellor for you.

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.

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.

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.
