My Approach

I’m interested in what works. For you. So I take a pluralistic approach and don’t limit myself to one particular theory or modality. Whether you’re seeing me for counselling, schema-based therapy or psychosexual therapy, I tailor my approach to suit your particular needs.

In the assessment I’ll ask about your early life experiences, what your unmet needs may have been growing up and what your attachment style is like as an adult. Because this usually says something about what style of therapy will be most helpful, healing and reparative for you.

And it’s the relationship between you and I which will be central to the work. Because I’m not a friend, colleague or family member, you can think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable in a judgement-free space. You can rely on me to be honest with you, and bring into your awareness your blind spots, and things on the edge of your awareness you might missing.

I work with a range of issues including: anxiety, addiction, depression, chemsex, gender identity, gender dysphoria and transitioning, pain and chronic illness, psychosexual issues, sexuality and sexual identity, suicidality and self-harm.
