About me
Life isn’t always easy, and sometimes it can feel like you’re carrying more than you can handle. Maybe you're struggling with stress, frustration, or low confidence. Perhaps anger has become a problem—getting in the way of your relationships or leaving you feeling guilty afterwards. Or maybe you just feel stuck, unsure of why life isn’t quite working the way you’d like it to.
Whatever is going on, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, without judgment. Together, we can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface and find a way forward that feels right for you.
My Experience
I have worked with many people facing challenges such as anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. A large part of my experience has been supporting men who struggle with anger, frustration, or emotional disconnection, but I also work with anyone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the direction of their life.
Over the years, I’ve helped people from all backgrounds make sense of difficult emotions, break free from unhelpful patterns, and rebuild confidence in themselves. Whether you’re looking for practical ways to cope or a space to understand yourself on a deeper level, I’ll support you in a way that feels right for you.
What I Can Help With
I specialise in supporting people through a range of challenges, including:
Anger & Frustration – Understanding what triggers your anger and finding healthier ways to express it.
Anxiety & Stress – Managing worries, overthinking, and the physical impact of stress.
Low Confidence & Self-Esteem – Overcoming self-doubt and learning to feel good about yourself.
Relationship Difficulties – Navigating challenges in romantic relationships, friendships, or family life.
Workplace Stress & Burnout – Dealing with pressure, self-doubt, and feeling overwhelmed at work.
Feeling Stuck or Lost – If you’re unsure of what’s next in life or struggling with past experiences holding you back.
How I Work
I believe that therapy should feel natural, down-to-earth, and free from unnecessary jargon. I don’t offer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach because everyone is different. Instead, I take the time to understand what’s really going on for you and tailor my support to fit your needs.
A big part of my work involves helping people make sense of emotions they may have been carrying for a long time. Sometimes, experiences from our past shape how we feel about ourselves and how we respond to challenges in the present. By exploring this together, we can start to untangle unhelpful patterns and create positive change.
Next Steps
If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. I offer a free initial chat so you can ask any questions and see if I’m the right fit for you. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or deeper, long-term work, I’ll help you find the way forward.

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.
