About Me

Bald man with beard in blue shirt
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy. I work within BACP ethics and guidelines and have a commitment to continuous professional development.

I am based in Soho in central London and provide a space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can explore the origins of these feelings and navigate how this affects your self perception and interaction with others. I offer an authentic, empathic nature while holding a deep regard for you as an individual, your lived reality and experiences.

As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I combine different approaches tailored to my clients as unique individuals. Building trust and developing a deep therapeutic relationship is the bedrock of my counselling approach. I am adept at creating space for a person’s innate desire to develop and I combine this with a psychodynamic approach to broaden awareness and prompt questions, which assists clients to grow and develop beyond their past.

My Experience

I have worked extensively with LGBT clients; I understand from personal experience the specific issues that may come with minority stress, shame, familial expectations and early isolation.

I am also aware that many problems we face are universal, regardless of sexuality or gender, and come with the often difficult experience of navigating the uncertainty of life as it is at present.

I have extensive experience working with people who are carrying trauma, assisting clients to process their experiences and live a more authentic life.
