As a queer man, I have found validation, meaning and support in my own psychotherapy. I decided to train as a therapist myself at The Minster Centre in London, a rigorous and respected integrative psychotherapy and counselling training, where I continue to work towards my MA in Integrative Psychotherapy. I have professional experience as a teacher, mentor and chef. I pursue ongoing training, learning and personal growth as part of my commitment to the challenge and enjoyment of working with the complexity of the human psyche.

I believe we are shaped by our past experiences. The coping strategies that protected us when we were younger can become outdated, leaving us feeling stuck or frustrated. My approach seeks to help you understand these patterns and get in touch with a deeper sense of who you really are and ultimately to engage in your life with more meaning and vitality.

Therapy can be as challenging as it is rewarding. I will work alongside you with compassion and patience, creating a safe space where you can explore difficult feelings, perhaps for the first time. This process of rediscovering and making peace with disowned parts of yourself is a profound act of courage. Change becomes possible when we can first meet ourselves with acceptance.

I have volunteered at The Listening Place in Kings Cross, offering face to face support to people experiencing suicidal thoughts and feelings. I have facilitated weekly counselling sessions at the Body & Mind Centre in Brixton, supporting LGBTQIA+ folks. I have been involved in the 12 step recovery fellowships for 8 years, with experience in AA, CA, SLAA, NA, and ACA.
