I offer counselling for adults, often men, experiencing the impact of unresolved trauma. This may relate to difficult childhood experiences, abuse or neglect, bereavement or loss, military service, discrimination distress, neurodivergent masking/burnout, life-altering events, or environments where emotional needs were not safely met.

Often, people come to therapy feeling exhausted from coping alone or trying to hold everything together. On the surface, they may appear capable and emotionally contained, or experience sudden emotional overwhelm that feels difficult to understand or control, while internally struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, anger, grief, emotional disconnection, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, hypervigilance, flashbacks, physical tension, addiction, burnout, or a persistent sense of feeling stuck.

The people I work with have often spent years adapting to survive difficult experiences, disconnecting from emotions, struggling with emotional overwhelm, staying busy, engaging in self harm or self sabotage to cope, masking parts of themselves, becoming highly self-critical, or losing touch with what they really need. Therapy can offer space to slow down, make sense of these patterns, and begin relating to yourself differently.

I completed a four-year Humanistic Existential counsellor training accredited by the BACP, followed by a one-year practitioner training in Wild Therapy (developed by Nick Totton). Alongside this, I bring more than ten years of experience working with somatic and body-based approaches to self-exploration and expression, as well as over three years’ experience in trauma-informed environments.

Working in a humanistic and existential way means the focus is on you - your experience, the choices you are living with, and what matters most in your life. Together, we explore how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how your values shape the way you live day to day. From this, we work towards helping you live with greater authenticity, awareness, and alignment.

Woven throughout my practice is the ethos of Wild Therapy. Whether sessions take place indoors or outdoors, this approach is less about the setting itself and more about a willingness to look honestly at your experience, step outside familiar patterns, explore the edges of yourself, and gently uncover what may have been pushed aside. At times, this may mean I gently challenge you, not to push you, but to encourage curiosity, awareness, and movement where things may feel stuck.

For those who choose to work outdoors, nature can become part of the therapeutic process, offering space, perspective, and a different way of relating to thoughts, feelings, and experience.

My work is also informed by more than a decade of somatic practice, supporting body awareness and nervous system regulation. I recognise that difficult experiences are often held in the body as well as the mind, and that paying attention to both can open up new ways of understanding and relating to ourselves.

Whatever the setting, what matters most is the relationship we build together and creating a space where you can be yourself. You do not need the right words or a clear starting point, only a willingness to arrive as you are.
