About me

As a person-centred counsellor, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to work towards personal empowerment and overcome your challenges.

I have extensive experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Additionally, I support those navigating significant life changes, such as retirement, career transitions, health issues, and relationship difficulties.

My diverse life experiences shape my counselling approach. As a father of four and an entrepreneur, I have founded and managed various businesses. My career includes roles in investment banking, telecom management, and as a sole trader striving to make a living.

Having personally endured bullying, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationship breakdowns, I have found my way through these struggles, leading me to a career in counselling. 

My aim now is to offer the same valuable support that I received over the years from numerous individuals and groups.

If you believe I can assist you, please feel free to reach out. There is no pressure or obligation.

Core Values

I am committed to fostering safety through connection, compassion, and care. I aim to empower individuals of all ages to understand themselves, take control of their lives, and discover a deeper sense of purpose and contentment.

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.

Accredited register membership
