About me

At 37, I bring both personal experience and professional understanding to the therapy room as a mixed-race man living with autoimmune conditions. My experiences have shaped the way I work — with empathy, openness and a belief that everyone deserves a space where they can feel genuinely heard without judgement. I offer a calm, human and collaborative environment where you can explore whatever feels important to you.

I work integratively and in a client-led way, tailoring therapy to your individual needs. I’m passionate about supporting people with identity, emotional wellbeing, relationships, chronic illness, stress and self-understanding, helping clients feel more connected to themselves and supported in making meaningful change.

How we will work together

Therapy sessions with me are collaborative, relaxed and guided by what feels most important to you. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out — we work at a pace that feels safe and comfortable, creating a space where you can speak openly without judgement.

As an integrative, client-led therapist, I tailor sessions to your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we may explore emotions, relationships, patterns or life experiences, with the aim of helping you better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

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.
