Experience and approach:

I recognise the difficulties queer men can feel around intimacy and vulnerability, and regularly work with how we are in relationships and the wider world.

Therapy can provide space to explore many aspects of relationships. This might mean navigating single life and dating, reflecting on your relationship to sex, or working through barriers that make connection difficult. It can also involve deepening communication and intimacy within a relationship, or considering opening it up.

I can help you better understand your behaviours and thoughts, enabling you to reduce stress and find clear strategies to create lasting change.

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 suits you.

Anxiety
Depression
Intimacy
Loss
Relationship issues
Self-esteem
