You might be reading this because of a particular difficulty in your life, or maybe you feel flat or disconnected and can’t put your finger on why. Significant changes, at any age, are also a prompt to seeking support. You might be dealing with stress, anger, low mood, relationship struggles, or just a sense of feeling stuck. Maybe there’s not a problem as such, and you just want to explore options. Men, in the past, weren’t encouraged to seek help and talk things through – but thankfully that’s changing. It can feel like a big step to seek help, but it’s often the first move toward real change. I aim to give you space to explore what’s going on without judgement, at a pace that suits you.

I offer weekly sessions, primarily in person but also online. Sometimes we might decide to have sessions further apart than weekly – I try to be flexible.

I’m a humanistic practitioner, which means I see you as a whole individual rather than a set of symptoms. The focus is on understanding your experience and helping you build on your own strengths – whether that’s rediscovering confidence, improving relationships, or finding new direction in life. A straightforward and transparent approach is what I offer – where I don’t tell you how to live your life, but rather work with you to help you untangle what’s happening, and support you in finding practical ways forward.

Alongside counselling, I can also draw on ways of working found in life coaching, when appropriate. Men in particular often appreciate the sense of accountability that comes with a coaching mindset. As a pluralistic practitioner, I try to provide options and adapt to what’s going on for you at any moment.

Sadly, the building is not wheelchair accessible.
