About me

Perhaps you've spent years putting others first while neglecting your own needs. Maybe relationships feel confusing, intimacy feels out of reach, or you carry a sense of shame that's difficult to explain. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, compulsive sexual behaviour, or the lasting impact of developmental trauma. Together, we can explore the patterns that have shaped your life and work towards meaningful, lasting change.

I'm Vincent (he/him), an integrative and relational counsellor. I believe therapy is more than solving problems—it's an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and build a more compassionate, authentic way of relating to yourself and others. I offer an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice and work with adults from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, identities and life experiences.

My approach draws on psychodynamic, attachment-based, person-centred, existential and body psychotherapies. Together, we'll explore how your past may continue to influence your present relationships, emotions and sense of self, while paying attention to the connection between your mind and body. Rather than offering quick solutions, I aim to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself so that change can emerge in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

Starting therapy can feel daunting. My aim is to offer a warm, collaborative and non-judgemental space where you feel safe enough to explore what's most important to you. Together, we can strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, helping you live with greater confidence, authenticity and connection.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a BACP-accredited Diploma in Integrative Counselling from The Minster Centre and have completed an MA in Integrative and Relational Psychotherapy, UKCP-accredited through Middlesex University in partnership with The Minster Centre.

Alongside my private practice in Shoreditch, I work as a sessional therapist at Nightingale Hospital in London. I was previously at Positive East and Body & Soul, supporting adults and families living with and affected by HIV, trauma and long-term health conditions.

I also work in Operations for Loving Men+, a community organisation supporting cis and trans gay, bi, and queer men, as well as non-binary people. Through workshops and retreats, we foster deeper connection, authenticity and a sense of belonging.

In addition, I am a trained freedomDANCE facilitator. This embodied practice integrates mindful movement and meditation, reflecting my belief that lasting therapeutic change involves both mind and body.

Throughout my work, I have supported clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, faiths and belief systems. I am committed to providing an LGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally sensitive practice where every client is welcomed with respect and curiosity.

I offer therapy in both English and French.

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

Further information

After contacting me, we will set up an introductory session to explore what brings you to therapy and help us both determine if we're a good fit. You'll get a sense of my approach and what working together might feel like.

I offer short-term counselling (8 to 12 sessions) or longer-term work with regular reviews. In any case, the length of therapy is entirely up to you.

Sessions are weekly at a consistent day and time. Regular attendance is essential for effective therapy.
