About the Therapist
About the therapist:

I have a two-pronged approach: helping to relieve your distress in the 'now', but also exploring the past to better understand its origins.

 

Feeling comfortable with your therapist is key.  I aim to create a non-judgmental, safe space where you feel heard and supported.  I work with respect, curiosity, and humour.

 

I have a background in photojournalism,  TV production, and marketing, so understand the importance of empowering people to find and use their voice.

 

I worked as journalist and photographer for THT (Terrence Higgins Trust) and Stonewall, and was a trustee for London Friend.

Experience and approach:

I’m fortunate and happy to work with a wide range of people, but recognise the difficulties men can feel around intimacy and vulnerability.  I regularly work with shame, internalised homophobia, and societal prejudice, and how they impact our lives.

 

I have a two-pronged approach: helping to relieve distress in the 'now', but also exploring the past to better understand its root cause.

 

Being an 'integrative' therapist means I draw from a toolkit of different approaches (like psychodynamic, CBT, and relational therapy) which enables me to provide a service that best fits you.
