About Me

I have always been interested in the way we tick and how we can have a tendency to lose ourselves.

Why do people who could be enjoying happy, healthy lives hide away, get sick, addicted or suicidal or just plain discontent.  Why do we find it difficult to share our emotions or relate? 

My own life has been a personal journey into finding the answers to some of these questions. It has taken me to some very dark places and also some amazing ones, meeting some incredible people on the way.

I have jumped into training in yoga, shiatsu and counselling and worked in intimacy, sexuality and addiction, as well as teaching different disciplines to groups and on a one-to-one basis.

I have also undertaken many years of my own personal therapy and 12 step work as well as exploring mindfulness, spirituality and menswork. There is nothing better than developing the self than time on the planet and learning from failures and successes. I have had to adapt to life’s challenges from business failure, near bankruptcy, depression, relationship breakdowns, and losing friends and loved ones along the way to getting closer to finding my authentic self.

So this is the root of my work. My professional training has run alongside my lived experience and I hope this will help you grow, look at life from a new perspective and ultimately become more content.

I have witnessed people develop and change their lives through committing to therapy and this has often rippled out to those around them creating better relationships and family dynamics.

I welcome those from different backgrounds of gender, race, sexuality or neurodiversity and seek to treat everyone as an individual in their own right, curious to their own unique experience. You may feel challenged at times but always listened to and heard.

My four-year training in Integrated Humanistic Therapy has given me a toolkit to work with various modalities and theories. The sessions take a holistic approach and while talking and listening are major parts of our enquiry, we can also draw on different theories and ways of looking at the issues in our lives and the effects they are having on us. I work with supervision and under the ethics of the BACP governing body and am continuing my professional development in this inspiring work.
