My Approach

My approach is relational and informed by intersubjective psychotherapy. I see therapy as something that happens between two people, making sense of things together. How we each affect one another is key to helping you understand how you relate to others, how you experience yourself, and how familiar patterns show up in your life.

Many people, men in particular, learn to keep things to themselves, hold it together, or put others’ needs before their own, so that it becomes hard to put feelings into words or to make sense of difficult experiences.

I’m interested in how things look from your perspective, and in the family, cultural and social context that has shaped you. I’m also interested in what emerges between us as we explore your experiences together. Finding words for what has been hard to say can be a starting point for understanding yourself differently.

About Me

I am a UKCP-accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I have worked in war zones and post-conflict settings, supporting humanitarian workers and others affected by conflict, as well as in healthcare, mental health and with seldom-heard communities, including people in prison, refugees and displaced people.

I have a particular interest in working with men who want to understand how their experiences, relationships and social circumstances have shaped how they see themselves and the world, including the influence of culture, race, family expectations and identity.
