Carrying the weight of old wounds alone?

You don’t have to anymore.

-

Therapy isn’t something done to you, it’s something we do together.

Real conversations. Real connection.

That’s what matters to me.

I’m not here to just sit and nod while you talk. I’m here to meet you in the moments you feel furthest from yourself, and work with you to find your way back. 

Who I Often Work With

I tend to work best with people who:

• Feel the weight of trauma from childhood.
• Find difficulty in relationships.
• Get caught in people-pleasing, overthinking, or never feeling “enough.”
• Struggle to recognise who they are anymore - feeling disconnected from their own voice.
• Stuck in loops of self-sabotage.
• Seeking personal development and deeper self-awareness. 

What You Can Expect

With me, you’ll find someone who cares - someone who’s still doing the work on himself, still facing his own shadows, still learning.

We’ll work in a way that’s collaborative and human.

Step by step, we’ll process what’s hurting, understand where you get stuck, and find a way forward that feels right for you.

This isn’t about quick fixes.

It’s about a real relationship - one where you can be vulnerable, be met in that vulnerability, and be held while you find your ground again.

-

A Final Word

Yes, the dark is scary. But less so together.

Introductory Session

A 30-minute space to get a feel for how I work and whether it feels like the right fit for you.

Free - by phone or video

£10 - in person (to cover the room cost)

If you’re ready to talk, send me an email today - I’ll usually get back to you within 24 hours on weekdays.

I’m a BACP Accredited counsellor and have continued to deepen my work with training in trauma-informed and somatic approaches - because I believe therapy isn’t just about talking, it’s about involving the whole self.

My Approach

I work in a way that’s relational and integrative - meaning I adapt our sessions to fit you, not the other way around. Real change happens through connection: to yourself, your body, your truth. That might mean talking things through, slowing down to notice what’s happening in the moment, or exploring what your past still stirs up in the present.

I often work with anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, and relationship struggles.

My roots are in Gestalt therapy, but I also draw on:

• Person-Centred therapy
• Mindfulness and somatic practices
• CBT for practical tools when they’re useful
• Eastern philosophy, if it resonates with you

There’s no one-size-fits-all. We’ll work in a way that feels safe and right for you - at your pace.

Confidentiality

What you share stays between us, unless there’s a serious risk to you or someone else - and I’ll always aim to talk that through with you first. I also take my work to supervision, which is there to make sure you get the best support - your identity remains fully protected.
