I am a client led therapist, in other words, you will always be in charge of your therapy. As a sex-positive & kink aware counsellor, trained in GSRD, I provide a space for clients, both individuals & intimate partners, to talk openly about these subjects, & have much experience of working with clients who fall under the kink & BDSM umbrella and those who have Consensual non-monogamy relationships.

My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves. Together we can focus on the goals they have set and, as the relationship develops, untie the knots that are holding them back from reaching their objectives. In my personal experience as a

If you’re struggling right now, let’s work together to explore what’s happening. I offer a supportive, inclusive and creative space dedicated to you and who you’d like to explore becoming. I believe that everyone has their own unique spark of creativity – one which can be kindled and mobilised to make life less painful and to foster greater flourishing.  I am a gay/queer, cis-male and have worked extensively with clients representing various, glorious intersections encompassed by LGBTQIA+. I am a QTIPOC Ally. I meet with clients both online or in-person in Sydenham: London SE26 and Hackney: London E8.

I’m Charley – I am a degree qualified, BACP Accredited and experienced psychotherapist/counsellor and Clinical Supervisor and I can support you on the journey to find out more about your life and how things are feeling for you right now.

Hi I’m Daniel (He/Him). I’m a counsellor who provides support for people that are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety and grief. I work with people seeking support with difficult life decisions and challenges in their relationships. Often people attend because they are feeling ‘stuck’; finding themselves arriving at the same place, despite trying really hard to change. Perhaps they are drinking, shopping or eating to cope or escape. The sex and relationships they’re having has stopped feeling safe or fulfilling. They’re doing things to ‘feel better’ while avoiding people, places or decisions due to fear or shame.

I am an experienced therapist with a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Accredited membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With over ten years of experience in the field of mental health – seven as a counsellor and psychotherapist – I warmly invite you to explore my page to see if I might be of help. Integrating the Gestalt and Existential approaches to therapy, the space I offer is safe, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I am a gay man and have worked as a therapist with clients from the LGBTQ+ community for many years.

Things that feel overwhelming today will begin to get easier and over time, through our work together, life will get brighter. We all experience difficult things in life and need people to lean on at times, to help us through some of the more painful or challenging situations or to help us grow into kind, loving people. I consider it a sign of enormous bravery that you’re thinking about coming to see me for therapy and taking the first step on your journey towards feeling better and showing up differently in the world. 

Does your past feel unresolved, or do you find yourself feeling stuck, unable to move forward? You don’t have to navigate these feelings alone. I can walk alongside you through this, empowering and supporting you in a space where you can truly be yourself. Together, we’ll work on self-acceptance and uncover what’s holding you back. My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel safe and understood as you take steps toward healing and growth.
