About me
As a man, you might be grappling with confusion, frustration, or exhaustion around modern expectations of masculinity, feeling caught between traditional roles and pressures to be more emotionally open, while wondering if anyone truly gets how hard you try to show up as a good partner, father, friend, or colleague. Perhaps anger, stress, or a sense of isolation has built up over time, dimming the spark and confidence you once had, leaving you yearning for inner calm, self-assurance, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Or, as a woman, you may be seeking deeper insight into the behaviours and inner world of the important men in your life.
I offer in-person and online therapy for adults navigating issues related to masculinity, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, and personal growth. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and evidence-informed practice, drawing from male psychology research and thousands of hours working specifically with men's issues.
I bring a politically moderate perspective to the work: I aim to hold space for diverse viewpoints without imposing ideology, recognising that polarisation in society and online can amplify feelings of alienation or defensiveness for many men. My goal is to help you explore your experiences openly and without judgment, focusing on what serves your well-being and relationships rather than any political agenda.
If you're ready to reduce stress, rebuild confidence, process resentment or shame, or simply feel more at ease in your own skin, I'd be glad to support you on that journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor specialising in Transactional Analysis (TA), registered with BACP
I have completed relevant training and continue to develop my skills through ongoing CPD. I’ve worked and volunteered with men’s organisations and charities, supporting people in a respectful, person-centred way while maintaining clear professional boundaries.
This experience has also supported my own personal development and self-awareness, which I bring into my work. I follow the ethical guidelines of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
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.
