I'd say my time with you has been the most intriguing & insightful experience of my life. It's opened up a new world to me that I'll encourage others to look into too!

Specialist support you can trust

Unrivalled Expertise

My training and experience is extensive and I believe I offer my clients an unrivalled degree of support, understanding & insight into difficulties of all kinds because of this. You can read more on my qualifications & CV below.

Professional, Confidential, Trusted

My clients cover broad demographics. They include industry leaders in business, finance, legal, healthcare & creative sectors as well as highly successful entrepreneurs, professional athletes, politicians, military & protective personnel, and their families. Many return to see me after their initial issues are dealt with, for a check in or to deal with what's new. Others refer family & friends.

Inclusive

I've worked with people of many nationalities, cultures & faith, based in London, Poole, across  the UK and internationally online.

As a GSRD affirming therapist (Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diversity), clients who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or with the kink community can expect a safe, accepting & informed experience of therapy with me.

Client-before-theory approach

I have helped hundreds of clients get to the core of their difficulties, in a way that works for them.

 

Research - and my experience - consistently shows that it is the quality of the relationship between a client and therapist that is most likely to lead to a successful outcome, rather than any specific discipline or therapeutic technique. And so it is this kind of relationship that is at the heart of my practice.

 

Through a highly personalised approach, my clients are enabled to distinguish the very personal barriers that have been in the way of having the life and relationships they want, and then encouraged to take the real-life steps to achieve their goals. This process allows real, lasting and transformative changes to be made - naturally and with ease. My clients often discover this ultimately leads to positive changes in many other relationships, and areas of life too!

Integrating Theories, Insight & Coaching Techniques

I support each client/ couple in a unique and personal way that best suits them and the issues they are dealing with.

Theoretically speaking, I incorporate psychodynamic, systemic, existential, narrative, compassion-based and other therapeutic ideas, as well as recent developments in neuroscience & trauma recovery, to help clients make sense of their difficulties. Practical interventions include reflective homework, life-coaching techniques, psycho-education and facilitated exercises in sessions when they may be useful.
