Individual Therapist in North London and Online

I offer thoughtful, specialist couples therapy in North London and online.

You may be looking for therapy because something in your relationship has become hard to reach. Perhaps you keep having the same argument, or you have stopped arguing and feel quietly far apart. You may still care deeply about each other, but feel unsure how to find your way back.

I trained at Tavistock Relationships, the specialist couples therapy institute, where I now work as a visiting clinician and trainer. My work is relational and psychodynamic, with a focus on the patterns that form between people and the feelings that can be difficult to name.

As a mixed-Black male therapist, I bring personal and clinical sensitivity to race, gender, identity, belonging and difference. I am especially interested in how these experiences live in relationships, including interracial relationships, family expectations, silence, shame, protection and feeling misunderstood.

Couples often come when the relationship still matters, but the pattern has become difficult to shift alone. There may be distance, loss of trust, difficulty talking, problems with sex or intimacy, parenting pressures, family tensions, or a sense that you keep missing each other.

My work with couples is not about taking sides. I pay close attention to what happens between you, especially in the moments where things become painful, defended, or difficult to say. My aim is to create a space where both partners can feel taken seriously, rather than judged or blamed.

Much of my work is about relating. The ways we reach for each other, protect ourselves, lose trust, stay silent, argue, adapt, or feel unseen. These patterns are shaped not only by the relationship itself, but by family history, culture, race, gender and the wider lives you each bring with you.

Together, we can begin to understand the pattern you have become caught in and what might be needed for honesty, repair and connection.

The first session is exploratory. It gives us an opportunity to understand what has brought you to therapy, what has been happening between you, and whether working together feels like the right fit before moving forward.

I use the first session to begin getting a sense of the relationship, the pattern you may feel caught in, and whether couples therapy feels appropriate and useful at this time. It is also a chance for both partners to ask questions and get a feel for how I work.

I charge £80 for the first couples session.
