About me
I can help with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, work and personal relationships, and burn out. More of the issues I work with are listed below.
I have a two-pronged approach: working to alleviate your distress in the 'now', and looking to the past to explore its origins. I find that's more effective for longer-term change.
I often work with men - straight and queer - to explore blocks to living the life you want.
Maybe your personal or business relationships aren’t how you want them to be. Maybe you want to better understand why you behave in certain ways. Maybe you feel stuck. I can help you challenge unhelpful self-beliefs and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Getting started
We can arrange a free 30 minute conversation to discuss what's brought you to therapy. It’s a good opportunity to ask me any questions and see how we might work together.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are on a weekly basis, at the same time on the same day - either on a long- or short-term basis.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have a two-pronged approach: working to alleviate your distress in the 'now,' but also looking to the past to explore its root causes. I find that's more effective for longer-term change.
I regularly work with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, intimacy, and relationship issues. I work in Chancery Lane (London) and online.
I work with a diverse range of people, but often work with men (straight and queer) and the specific issues they face.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of techniques and approaches (like relational, CBT, psychodynamic, attachment). That toolkit enables me to tailor my approach to you.
I've worked in photojournalism, marketing, and TV production. I understand the importance of empowering people to find and use their voice.
I graduated from the Minster Centre in London, a leading integrative counselling and psychotherapy training institute. I’m a registered member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics and regulatory standards.
I’m here to listen, help, and offer non-judgmental therapeutic support.
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.
