My aim is to empower you to use the therapeutic benefits of the great outdoors and to introduce you to practical strategies that help build a healthier mindset through Coaching Psychology. Sessions usually take place on the beautiful Cannock Chase, 2684 hectares of coniferous and broadleaf woodlands, in Staffordshire, England. I typically use principles from compassion focussed therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, solution focussed therapy and mindfulness. I offer a free telephone appointment to find out if this is the right approach for you.

Welcome to CBT Gym. Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), my specialty is helping gay, bi and straight men learn tools to overcome anxiety and thrive. Unlike some traditional talking therapies, CBT is a practical and tools based approach to therapy that begins to work fast and the effects last long after your sessions end. Get the tools. Start thriving! Remote therapy only.

Our past and present are intimately linked by our memories. Our memories are heavily influenced and based on feelings we had surrounding an event or experience. These experiences may be impacting your life right now, even the ones that might seem irrelevant or insignificant. If we don’t become aware of this connection it will keep affecting our future. Prolonged stress can manifest itself in physical forms, including illness, lack of energy, problems with sleep, headaches, depression and anxiety. My clients are men who have experienced trauma and I see the difficulty men have in accessing their emotions and feelings. I offer a safe space with compassion working towards helping men to process their emotions and feelings.

My work delves into issues such as shame, pressure to conform and the inability to connect with yourself, your body, and your emotions. I usually work with men at the intersection between race, neurodiversity, social class and faith who may feel that they are different, unable to be themselves, or are dissatisfied with themselves or with their lives.
I am quite open and easy to talk to, and I think I do well with men who are nervous about coming to therapy, who find it hard to open up or who have unusual issues that cause them shame.
I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with a first degree in psychology and a doctorate in existential psychotherapy.

I am a registered and qualified mental health counselling professional who helps individuals gain psychological awareness to improve their overall health and wellbeing. I am motivated by a curiosity in people and their capacity to grow and develop. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and the client is a co-creation that can be a dynamic vehicle for growth.

Men sometimes carry their problems around, being strong on the outside, like a suit of armour. They leave the talking to others, often women. Your friends might be doing the same, but if you’re the one to admit it, you fear losing your credibility as a real man. There may also be an inner voice telling you to man up and not show vulnerability, but this can be part of the problem.
I think counselling can help men become better friends, partners, fathers and lovers. Learning to talk about yourself without fear of judgement can help your state of mind and relationships. When I work with men, they often find it’s a relief to finally let it all out. They feel lighter and open up to change, rather than closing down or “manning up” just to fit in.
I offer both remote and in-person appointments and have experience working with English-speaking clients who live outside the UK in all parts of the world.

My training is in Transactional Analysis Counselling and Integrative Psychotherapy, and I have experience working with a wide range of individuals over the past five years. I aim to build a strong and supportive relationship with my clients, offering a safe space to explore whatever difficulties they may be experiencing, and utilising a flexible approach to be able to tailor the therapy to each individual’s needs. I believe strongly in the potentials of compassion, insight and self-awareness in helping people heal psychological wounds and make positive life changes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you’re just going through the motions? Battling depression, anxiety, or the weight of past trauma? Many men struggle in silence, but you don’t have to. Reaching out takes real courage – and you’ve already shown that by being here.
I’m Jeff, a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who specialises in men’s mental health. As a male counsellor, I get it – I understand the pressure to “man up,” the difficulty of opening up, and how hard it can be to ask for support. I work with men of all ages: young adults navigating life transitions, dads struggling to connect with their teenagers, and men processing relationship challenges, work stress, or past trauma.
My trauma-informed approach combines emotional healing with practical strategies. We’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck while building real tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and showing up as the man you want to be. You deserve genuine understanding and lasting change.

I offer a conversational style of therapy, both listening to the story brought to the session, and offering information connected to research and my experience to help you make connections to the issues that concern and affect you. My goal is to help you achieve your goals through gaining clarity about your situation, learning more about yourself and experiencing more fulfilment and happiness in your relationships, personal or otherwise.

Counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in Soho, London and online.
Therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and sexuality issues, substance use, health conditions and HIV.
Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can’t put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked – early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate your progress.
I have specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training to help you if you are experiencing sleep problems, panic, phobias, and some forms of trauma and OCD.
