I am an empathic, integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a strong background in psychology, holding an Honours degree in Psychology and Counselling and multiple qualifications and Diploma in humanistic Counselling. I began studying in 2008, initially through self-directed learning and now I am preparing to undertake doctoral training in Counselling Psychology with the ambition of becoming a Doctor. My academic grounding, combined with extensive practical experience, allows me to offer therapy that is both evidence-informed and highly personalised.

Life can present unexpected challenges, and I understand how difficult it can feel to navigate them. As a family man who has overcome significant health and life obstacles, I bring personal insight and empathy to my professional work. This lived experience, alongside my multidisciplinary training, helps me support clients facing complex issues, including anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and neurodiverse experiences such as ADHD or autism.

I use a flexible, integrative approach, drawing from humanistic and psychodynamic principles, alongside practical techniques like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This allows therapy to adapt to your individual needs, helping you explore emotions, uncover patterns, and develop strategies for lasting change.

At my practice, you will find a safe, supportive, and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. I work with individuals and couples facing a wide range of issues, from anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief to relationship difficulties and neurodiverse experiences. My work is especially suited to clients seeking help with complex emotional patterns and those who want to better understand themselves and their responses to life.

My approach combines professional expertise, lived experience, and a multidisciplinary framework. I integrate humanistic and psychodynamic principles with practical, evidence-informed techniques, including NLP, to ensure therapy is tailored to you. The process is collaborative: together we explore challenges, develop insights, and create practical strategies for change.

The practice is welcoming, comfortable, and easily accessible, providing a calm environment where clients feel truly heard and supported. Every session is designed to empower you to make meaningful progress at a pace that feels right.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to connect and explore your needs in a safe and confidential setting. We will discuss what has brought you to therapy, your goals, and any current challenges. I will explain my approach, answer any questions, and together we will decide how to proceed so that therapy is tailored to you from the start.

I aim to make the initial session welcoming and informative, giving you clarity about what therapy can offer and how we can work together. It’s a chance to experience the support, understanding, and practical guidance that form the foundation of my practice.
