About Me
Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade as a sourdough bread baker, and prior to that, I worked as a graphic designer. It was during those years that I began navigating my own deep personal struggles. Therapy was so transformative for me that in 2020, I chose to pivot my life's work. I trained as an Integrative Transpersonal Counsellor at Re-Vision in NW London.
Today, I am a fully qualified and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Recently, I completed advanced training to support couples navigating relationship distress. As a father of two, I also have a deep personal passion for supporting parents through the profound journey of parenthood.
My Approach: Holistic, Embodied, and Inclusive
I don’t just listen to the story you tell; I listen to the internal process happening beneath the surface. My practice is grounded in a holistic and embodied approach, drawing on Eastern traditions like Kundalini Yoga, meditation, and breathwork. We only use these tools if they feel right to you—you are always in complete control of our pace and direction.
I am dedicated to creating an intersectional, safe, and deeply respectful environment. I am an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist, and my practice is actively anti-racist. I am continually unlearning and growing my understanding of power, privilege, and societal trauma.
Both of my physical practice spaces are fully wheelchair accessible.
How I Work
As an integrative practitioner, I weave together a diverse toolkit to fit your unique mind and body:
-
Relational & Depth: Psychodynamic, Jungian, Transpersonal, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
Present & Experiential: Humanistic, Gestalt, and Integrative Counselling
-
Body & Action: Somatic Experiencing, Eco-therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Specialised Care: Couples Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy
Areas of Specialised Focus
While I work with a wide range of human experiences, I hold deeply specialised space for:
-
Identity & Expression: Men’s issues and embodied masculinity; boundaries and assertiveness; overcoming shame.
-
Deep Trauma & Recovery: cPTSD; narcissistic parental abuse; migration trauma; ancestral and intergenerational legacies of trauma.
-
Crisis as Growth: Depression (approached as a gateway to homecoming); cancer survivorship; grief.
-
Psyche & Spirit: Integration of psychedelic, visionary, or dream experiences; psychosis (and its potential as a spiritual awakening).
Experience
In addition to my private practice, I have proudly supported clients at the Psychosynthesis Trust in London Bridge and the Community Counselling Service in Canterbury.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us"
