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.

In my approach, I place importance on exploring the root cause of the problem and provide an affirming therapeutic space to facilitate change. A therapeutic relationship that is accepting and non-judgmental makes space for growth and healing. Psychotherapy and counselling invites an exploration of challenging past experiences and focuses on processing the feelings we hold as a result of these experiences. At the heart of our work together we will seek to understand our emotions and work alongside them. As we work through the foundations of patterns, behaviours, and feelings in a safe and supported environment, we gain greater insight into ourselves, this is where we can make significant change.

Sometimes life can feel small. You might feel stuck in a way of thinking or living that no longer fits. Or something may have happened that’s changed how you see everything.

If this sounds familiar, I can help. I offer a safe, confidential space to talk things through and understand yourself better. I came to this work because I believe people don’t need to stay stuck in the situations they find themselves in.

I’m a fully qualified, BACP-registered therapist, trained in psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapy. I work with people 18+ on issues including trauma, sexual assault, addiction, bullying, boarding school, family relationships, domestic abuse and LGBT+ concerns.

Dprof in Existential Psychotherapy, Middlesex University
Years in practice: 7

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.
