Counselling for Men in South London
Hello and welcome to my website. I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist providing counselling in person in Bromley, Forest Hill, Peckham and online across the UK.
Many of the men I work with are managing well on the outside at work, in relationships and mostly in front of everyone. Inside, things feel different. If that sounds familiar, counselling can help.
My approach
I work integratively, which means I do not follow a single fixed method. I draw on different approaches person-centred, psychodynamic, and others depending on what is most useful for each individual. I really strive to provide you with a space where you can say whatever is on your mind, where you can talk to someone who will not judge you but deeply listen, gently challenge and work alongside you to break those patterns or habits you have.
Who I work with
I typically work with men aged between 20 and 60, usually professionals, often senior. They're the people others lean on, at work and at home. Many come because something specific has cracked. Many come because nothing has, and they've just realised they can't keep doing things the way they've been doing them. Others arrive because their partners or relatives have suggested that talking to someone may help. Often my clients arrive with scepticism but find that talking, being listened to and sharing is very helpful.
Signs you may benefit from therapy
If you recognise any of the following then I will be able to help you.
-
You feel permanently switched on or find yourself waking up early in the morning worrying
-
You're functioning, but on autopilot
-
You keep looking for reassurance from other people, but it never seems to last.
-
You're snapping or shouting at people you love. You feel angry more than you used to.
-
You're drinking, scrolling, or working more than you'd like
-
You feel like a fraud at work
-
You've lost touch with what you actually want
-
You've become emotionally distant without meaning to
Many of the people I work with don't describe themselves as anxious. Instead, they tell me they're constantly thinking, analysing, worrying about decisions or looking for reassurance from others. Often they've become very good at coping on the outside while feeling exhausted internally.
Why work with me
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist. Alongside my counselling practice I have a career in business, and I hold an MBA from the University of Glasgow. I understand the world my clients are navigating, and the kind of pressure that comes with it. Clients describe sessions with me as calm, and tell me I have a strong memory for the detail of what we've talked about, I'll often bring something back from a previous session when I feel it will help.
