Take the first step, book an appointment

I am a warm and approachable BACP-registered psychotherapist, offering affordable sessions in Hackney, East London and online.

I know how nerve-racking it can be to seek help. But I've also experienced relief that comes from finally feeling listened to and understood. "Healing through meeting" is my mantra.

Whatever you're going through, I'm committed to meeting you with acceptance, openness, creativity and dignity. Together we can explore what it is like to be you, and discover lasting ways of living better.

I work with a diverse range of clients but my lived experience has given me particular insight into the challenges faced by men, as well as LGBTQ+ issues. Isolation, relationship problems, low self-worth, phone addiction, porn/sex obsession and AI anxiety are frequent themes. 

I'm not a big one for psychological jargon, or explaining to clients why they are the way they are. I believe you are the expert on your own experience - my role is to help you clarify your feelings and take a stand on how to respond. I believe that therapy can help people take responsibility for their own existence and live their lives with courage, resilience and wholeheartedness.

Training & Experience

I trained on the MA programme in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Existential Pathway) at Regent's University in London, graduating with a distinction. I have experience working with students and young people through Imperial College's Student Counselling and Mental Health Service, as well as extensive experience with LGBTQ+ clients at Elop, the UK's largest queer counselling service.

Before retraining as a therapist I worked for 15+ years as a journalist, holding senior roles at several national newspapers. This grounding in curiosity, clarity and directness continues to shape my therapy work.

Specialities

I have experience counselling men through issues including: depression, anxiety, relationship breakdown, sexual questioning, work and academic stress, phone addiction, sex/porn addiction, bereavement and mortality, fatherhood, family pressures, AI anxiety and online radicalisation, as well as the general problems of living in 2026.
