Maybe you’ve been holding things together for a long time – or trying to. On the surface, life might look steady enough but underneath something doesn’t feel right.
You might have the relationship, the family, the job. Things are fine, in theory. But holding everything in can be exhausting. Over time it can leave you feeling disconnected, stuck. You're not in crisis. You're just not where you want to be..
Maybe there are things you’ve never said out loud. Maybe you’ve learnt that talking about what you feel is uncomfortable, pointless, or even a sign of weakness.
That’s where therapy can be different.
Most of the men I work with aren't in crisis. They're thoughtful people who've reached a point where they want to understand themselves better, whether that's a pattern in their relationships, a sense of lost identity, something they've been numbing out, or just a quiet feeling that life should feel like more than this.
In our sessions, I’ll be there with you. Not to analyse or judge – and not to tell you who you should be – but to meet you with care and thoughtful attention. There’s no need to perform, explain everything perfectly, or arrive with the “right” words. We work with whatever you bring, at your pace.
I came to this work through my own experience of therapy. My background is in journalism, which shapes how I work: plain language, no jargon, close to what's actually happening for you.
Come as you are. All of you is welcome here.

I completed a four-year postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling at Homa London, known for its rich and contemporary approach to humanistic therapy. Before that, I trained for two years at the well-established Gestalt Centre in London.
During my six years of psychotherapy training, I had weekly therapy myself – and I continue to do so. For me, this wasn’t just part of the course requirements – it was, and still is, a vital part of being an ethical and self-aware therapist. I also have a supervisor with whom I meet fortnightly (at least) to discuss my client work. And I engage in continuous professional learning and development to ensure I continue to grow and develop as a safe pair of hands for my clients.
My style is relational, humanistic therapy, which focuses on creating a thoughtful, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel understood.
Alongside private practice, I have experience supporting people in a hospice settings.
Men’s mental health – You’re a man who may be new to therapy, or unsure whether it’s for you – but something has brought you here. – You’re carrying pressure or responsibility, or a sense that you should be coping on your own, and there hasn’t always been space to talk openly about feelings, relationships, intimacy or identity without feeling judged, analysed or expected to perform. – You want a place to slow down and speak honestly, at your own pace – to explore what you’re carrying, how you’ve learned to manage, and what might help you feel more connected to yourself and to others.
Anxiety, overwhelm and feeling stuck – You’re grieving – a relationship, a person, a future you hoped for, or a past that still lives in the present. – You feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck – in patterns you don’t fully understand.
Relationships, identity and connection – You’re navigating relationship or family tensions – conflict, distance, affairs, betrayal, separation, co-parenting, or patterns that feel hard to shift. – You’re exploring identity, sex, sexuality or gender – wanting space to understand yourself more fully, without pressure or expectation. – You long to connect more deeply – with yourself and with others – and want to be met by someone who’s willing to show up with openness and vulnerability alongside you. – You want a space where emotional expression feels safe – whatever your gender, you’re ready to explore your feelings openly and without judgement.
Grief, loss and major life changes – You’re facing a major life change – the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, or something else that’s left you feeling unsettled or unsure.
Trauma, history and what’s been carried – You’ve been through things that have left a mark – trauma, loss, emotional neglect – and are ready to look at them, gently.
Self-worth and how you relate to yourself – You struggle with how you see yourself – your body, your worth, your place in the world. – You’re tired of performing – in relationships, in life – and want to feel more like you. – You’ve spent years being hard on yourself – and wonder what it might be like to relate to yourself differently.
Meaning, pressure and the wider world – You’re asking big questions – about meaning, identity, direction – and want space to explore them without pressure. – You care deeply about the world – but feel exhausted, disillusioned or shut down.
