Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy for adults
Psychotherapy offers a space to explore emotional experience in depth, particularly where familiar ways of coping no longer feel sufficient. People often come to therapy when something important feels difficult to articulate, contain, or integrate.
Some themes I often work with
- Anxiety and the body.
- Somatic and creative approaches to therapy.
- Emotional wellbeing of musicians and music industry professionals.
- Men's mental health.
- Sexuality, sexual identity, and orientation (LGBTQIA+).
- Neurodivergence (especially if identified later in life or suspected)
- Spirituality, archetypes and symbolism, religion
- Impact of racialised identities and culture on wellbeing.
- Health, including living with HIV.
- Impact of social context on wellbeing.
- The therapeutic relationship.
- Attachment and the intersection of personality characteristics on emotional development.
- Creative approaches to both research and clinical supervision.
Relational and integrative
My overall approach is relational and integrative, drawing on humanistic and psychodynamic thinking alongside existential and occasionally, some cognitive behaviour therapeutic approaches. I pay close attention to the therapeutic relationship itself, as well as to the wider social, cultural, and relational contexts shaping a person’s lived experience.
I am a trained EMDR therapist and have done additional training in sensorimotor approaches. I aim to offer a space that is emotionally engaged and reflective, rather than directive — one where complexity can be held without being rushed or reduced.

I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story. — Irvin D. Yalom
