We all struggle at times and you don’t have to do it alone. I aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental, confidential space to explore whatever is impacting you. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I am able to be flexible in my approach and tailor it to the person I am working with and the issues that they are currently facing. I offer face to face or remote sessions in Nottingham City Centre.

My approach is Integrative, which means I draw from various approaches such as psychodynamic, humanistic, CBT, existential, and transpersonal. I am also trained in trauma-focused therapy approaches, such as CPT, TF-CBT, IRRT, NET, EFT and the IFS approach. I work with PTSD, C-PTSD, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship issues, identity issues, and loss of meaning/purpose. I also provide training in meditation and mindfulness.

I am a registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I specialise in integrative therapy; Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I can tailor-make my speciality to suit you as the client. My other areas of expertise are working with mental health patients for six-plus years, in private organisations and NHS Mental Health acute, CAMHs and forensic wards. I have helped clients break through obstacles that seemed to hold them back in life. As Life is a gift, I am here to help clients achieve a more positive outlook on life, and provide the client with all the tools necessary to get there. Let me help you learn and develop a better way to handle the difficulties that are standing in the way of your goals.

I work online using a person centred approach where I support clients to find their own answers and help them understand how they are showing themselves to the world. The main areas I cover are: mixed ethnic/religious backgrounds; disability/chronic illness; sexuality; domestic abuse; gender (inc. trans+); poly relationships; parented/parenting relationships; growing up as a third culture child; and any intersection(s) of the above. I work with UK based people aged 18 and above. Please see my website if you would like more information about me and what I do.

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.

I believe therapy can be truly transformative, offering a space to explore past experiences and how they shape our present. This belief comes from my work as both a therapist and a client. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, empowering environment where they can make more productive meaning about their world and relationships.
My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, but when appropriate I also offer constructive challenge. I meet each person where they are, encouraging deeper reflection and new perspectives.
Much of my experience involves supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality.

‘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.

As your counsellor, I can help you by listening to whatever is troubling you the aim being to help you explore and understand the events or situation that have prompted you to seek help. I can help you explore any kind of problem, whether it is trying to make sense of a past life experience that is causing you some emotional pain, or a current problem that you are finding hard to cope with on your own, or perhaps a fear of something in the future which is holding you back. I strongly believe that having a safe space to talk, without judgment, can help you get clarity and empower you to move forward and make clear decisions about what you can do to improve your life.

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.
