Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it? Maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel anxious or uncertain – without knowing exactly what you want to change, or why. You’re not alone in feeling this way.
I help men explore the deeper questions behind their identity, relationships or life struggles – not just what’s happening, but what it means to them – so they can reconnect with themselves, make clearer choices and move from acting in life to authoring their future. My approach is warm and respectful, so you can be honest without fear of judgment. You’re welcome to book a free intro call – no pressure, just a chat.

I work together with clients in exploring what is going on for them currently (or has done in the past) in order to help them gain clarity and feel better in themselves as a result.

I work using the Person-Centred (or Humanistic) approach, which is often referred to as the “how does that make you feel?” style of therapy. However, a more accurate description would be I focus on building a supportive relationship where we can view the world from your perspective, and we work together to make changes that you want. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and have the ability to solve your own problems but recognise that sometimes an “outsiders” support and perspective can be helpful. I aim to create a non-judgmental safe space to explore your world using empathy, honesty and unconditional positive regard helping us to work through the thoughts, feelings and issues that are impacting you.

I am an experienced psychotherapist currently working from consulting rooms in Belgravia & Chelsea, London, and work with adult clients from varying backgrounds. In my previous career as a senior executive in newspaper and media organisations in the US and UK, I worked with highly creative individuals and business people alike. This specialist knowledge of the creative and business worlds informs my psychotherapy work as well as familiarity with mid-life/career transitioning, divorce/separation, drink/drug dependency, boarding school syndrome and the attendant depression, stress and anxiety this can evoke.

‘Something incredible happens when you open up to another human who you click with and who is trained to listen and support.’
The way I work is flexible. I meet you as an individual and will accept you exactly as you are, and try to see the world through your eyes. I will listen to you, really hear you and will be as genuine as I can, offering you time and space to find the answers you are looking for. I will not judge or critique you, tell you what to do, think or say, or who you should be. I will always meet you with unconditional positive regard, helping you to explore and navigate towards new insights and perspectives which can bring about a better way of relating to yourself, others or situations which you may find challenging.

I work intensively with men who have difficulties in their relation to themselves and to others, particularly those whose early life experiences have had an impact on their development, feelings, and functioning. I work with men who have suffered complex trauma and abuse and can help with the consequences of those experiences. I can help those with addictions and/or destructive relationships and/or behaviour. I have significant experience of working with men in conflict with their gender or sexuality.

Although I trained in the dialogue between psychodynamic and person-centered approaches, I work creatively and intuitively, depending on the client’s needs. Essentially, my belief in the existence of an inner world through which we perceive an outer reality where the past is alive in the present is premised on my personal life experience. However, my primary objective is to build a therapeutic relationship with you grounded in honesty and openness, which may lead to trust and mutual understanding. What is most important to me is the relational aspect of our work together, which is deemed the prime factor in the therapeutic process according to research.
