About me
If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of overthinking, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, you're not alone. Many of the people I work with know exactly what they want from life but struggle to break free from the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that they feel hold them back.
You may be experiencing:
- Anxiety, intrusive thoughts or constant overthinking.
- Low self-esteem or harsh inner voice.
- Burnout and feeling you have no direction.
- Feeling disconnected, lonely or out of step with others.
- The same relationship patterns playing out again and again.
- Navigating life as a queer person or with neurodiversity/ADHD.
Who I work with
I often work with men who are experiencing anxiety, work stress/burnout or the sense that they ‘should just get on with it.’
Some are also noticing changes in their adult lives — friendships fading, feeling more isolated than they expected, or wondering how they lost touch with themselves along the way.
I also work with many people who want a space where they can talk openly about anxiety, stress, or relationship difficulties without feeling judged.
My approach is practical, thoughtful and honest — giving you space to unpack thoughts and feelings that may feel messy or difficult to say out loud.
You don't need to know exactly what to say or where to start. If you're not the "therapy type", think of it as a conversation between two people focused on understanding what's going on and what might help.
In our sessions, we’ll work together to:
- Untangle what feels heavy or confusing
- Identify what you need (even if you’re not sure yet)
- Explore the past if it feels relevant.
- Find ways of coping that actually work for you.
Specialist areas I work with:
- Anxiety and panic attacks - my approach explores solutions and focuses on what helps you. Together we'll explore your patterns and stress response.
- Relationships, low self-confidence and self- esteem - I help people understand relationship patterns, set boundaries, reduce people-pleasing and build connections.
- Loneliness - there's often more to loneliness than simply being alone. Together we'll explore what's contributing to your loneliness, challenge unhelpful beliefs about yourself and others, and find ways to build more meaningful connections.
- LGBTQ+ Counselling & ADHD Affirming - I work extensively with LGBTQ+ clients, particularly gay men. I understand the impact of shame, body image pressures, identity questions, and the challenges of navigating a world that can feel unwelcoming or restrictive.

Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
- MSC Psychology
- PG Diploma Counselling & Psychotherapy
I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Leeds, offering online and in-person therapy. I’ve worked with a wide range of people through organisations such as Leeds Mind, BHA Skyline (supporting the LGBTQ community), Place2Be in secondary schools, Shout Crisis Service, and CAMHS.
Alongside this work, I see clients in my private practice, supporting adults who are struggling with anxiety (including intrusive thoughts and panic attacks), relationship and loneliness issues, low self-esteem, confidence, and ADHD-related challenges such as focus, organisation, and self-worth.
Many people come to me asking things like:
- Why do I overthink everything?”
- “How can I stop intrusive thoughts?”
- “Is therapy helpful for ADHD and low motivation?”
- “Why do I always attract narcissistic partners?”
If you’ve been googling these kinds of questions, you’re not alone — and therapy can help you find practical, lasting change.
My approach to low self esteem and confidence is through a solution focused lens. We can explore the past, your experiences - then ultimately build on skills and an outlook that helps you face the future.
Areas I have particular experience in:
- men and women who have experienced abusive relationships/narcissistic partner.
- exploring infidelity/relationship and loneliness issues.
- those who have intrusive thought patterns and experience anxiety/panic attacks.
- ADHD and the challenges it brings in focus, organisation, and self esteem.
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and make sense of what’s holding you back.
If you’re searching for counselling in Leeds or looking for online therapy for anxiety, ADHD or OCD, get in touch.
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.
