Offers:  Remote Therapy

My approach is warm and thoughtful, placing my clients at ease in opening up sometimes for the first time about their personal feelings and experineces. I predominately offer a psychodynamic approach which is particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships. My approach is based on the understanding that difficult experiences in the past can continue to affect the way you feel in the present. In the therapeutic relationship, we can start to explore and recognise the reasons why the things that make you unhappy seem to be repeating themselves.

I have been working as an integrative therapist for over 10 years and tailor my way of working to meet your needs. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel down or angry, struggling to find joy and fulfilment in life? In therapy we work together to identify the causes and find solutions. Are you tired of repeating self-destructive behaviours? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? Unhealthy habits can develop that lead to us feeling trapped. I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which you are able to identify your problems and find ways to change.

My website has more information where I also offer a free 20 minute introductory call.

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 work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

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.
