My Approach

I offer a free 15-minute phone call with no obligation, so we can have a proper conversation before any commitment is made.

What will working with me be like?

I work with thoughts, feelings, and what's happening in your body — I'll be asking about all of these. I also work with the imagination. You have one, even if you've convinced yourself you're not particularly creative. So I'll ask you to notice what's present in your mind's eye, to sense into what's happening beneath the words. I find this often gets closer to what's true than talking alone can.

Above all, I work with the relationship between us. I believe the way we are together in the therapy room — what feels easy, what feels difficult, what gets avoided — holds clues to how you are in the rest of your life. That's not a problem to fix; it's a resource to work with.

I bring warmth, patience, and genuine curiosity to this work. And I don't take myself so seriously that there's no room for playfulness too; We can work to find light in our darkness, as well as discover there can be darkness in what feels light.

My training is in Psychosynthesis — a form of therapy that takes your difficulties seriously without reducing you to them. We'll work with what's hard, but also with who you are beyond the hard thing: your strengths, your values, the sense of direction that might feel buried right now but is usually still there.

This isn't a quick-fix model. It's a collaborative process, and you set the pace.

About Me

Finding a therapist through a directory can feel a bit odd. You're reading profiles written by strangers, trying to work out who you might trust with something difficult. I hope this gives you a clearer sense of who I am and how I work — and if it sounds like it might be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you.

I graduated as a psychosynthesis counsellor in 2024 and now works in private practice in my therapy room, a former shipping container called “The Self Container” as well as at the Psychosynthesis Trust and online.

I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life, with a special interest in addiction issues following from volunteering at the charity Waythrough, and, as a gay man, issues facing the LGBTQ+ community.

My research interest is in the application of play/playful processes for adults to feel less caught in low self esteem and value or feelings of brokenness and failure and to engage vulnerability, presence, joy and explore how people can connect to less abstract experiences - all of which stems from my many years attending and leading clowning workshops.

My path to psychosynthesis training emerged from two complementary journeys: one through charity work preserving cultural traditions in threatened communities, which deepened my connection to spirituality, ritual, and the healing that feels so missing from modern life; the other through theatre, which cultivated creative energy, imagination, and a comfort with risk, fear, and possibility— which has proved a good foundation for counselling.

I also work as a Study Tutor at my training institution, the Psychosynthesis Trust, and enjoy the challenge of teaching students and deepening my own relationship to theory and practice while guiding students through the practical challenges of becoming a counsellor.
