About me
I am a qualified and accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and an Advanced Addiction Practitioner, based at 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf.
I provide confidential psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, workplace pressure, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties and significant life challenges.
My approach combines psychodynamic and humanistic perspectives, allowing therapy to be tailored to you as an individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. I am interested not only in what you are experiencing now, but also in understanding the underlying patterns, experiences and relationships that may be contributing to how you feel and respond.
I particularly work with professionals navigating the pressures of demanding careers, relationships and personal life. From the outside, everything can appear successful while internally you may be experiencing anxiety, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, relationship difficulties or behaviours that have become increasingly difficult to manage.
Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgemental space to step back, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface and develop greater self-awareness, resilience and understanding.
I believe meaningful therapy is built on trust, honesty and a genuine therapeutic relationship. My aim is to work collaboratively with you, at your pace, helping you understand yourself more deeply and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

Further information
Beyond my work, I am a husband and a father. These relationships continue to shape me, reminding me that growth is an ongoing process and that the connections we build with others are central to healing. If you’re someone who’s struggling or if you’re curious about how therapy might help, I welcome you to reach out. You don’t have to carry it alone.
