About me and my therapy practice
Something has brought you here. Let’s talk about it.
My name is Akin, I am an integrative counsellor trained in psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I help people who are dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression and stress, and who wish to experience change, healing and self-discovery.
What I offer is the therapeutic time and space needed for you to freely process issues affecting you, with help and without judgement. My counselling style involves me bringing myself, connecting with you and the two of us forming a sincere, therapeutic relationship. I am an integrative counsellor, meaning I use a range of counselling approaches based on your needs, your story, and the depth of our work.
I can offer long or short-term counselling. If you’re unsure, that's okay, we will discuss this beforehand and as we go.
For our counselling work to be effective, I’d like you to come as you are. As best as you can, bring your authentic self; scars, shadows, fears, hopes and all, and be ready to engage in the process. I understand counselling can be challenging, scary, frustrating, and unusual. It can, however, also be transformative.
My aim is to help you gain insights about yourself and your issues, to help you connect with your emotions and express yourself authentically. Together we will work towards growth, change, and healing. This can result in trusting yourself more, a reduction of internal conflict and you using your agency to make healthier decisions. We will explore your relationship with yourself, others, and the world. By examining how these are linked to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, you can develop new ways of living that are more aligned with your values, beliefs and priorities.
I have a background in stand-up comedy and podcasting. I am no longer active in either, however, experiences in both contribute to my drive to help people express themselves.
Practice description

My first session
I offer a free, 15 minute video or telephone introductory call. This is to hear about what brings you to counselling and to see whether we might be a good fit.
