What We Can Work On
Most of the men I work with are dealing with one or more of the same things: a mind that won't switch off, anger that flares up more than they'd like, a need for reassurance that never quite gets met, or difficulties in their relationships.
About Me
I became a counsellor because I've seen how much can change when someone finally feels heard. A lot of the men I work with have been carrying the same patterns for years, the same reactions, without ever quite knowing why.
That's what I'm interested in: helping you see what's driving those patterns, because once you can see it, things can start to shift.
I work at a calm pace. I'm here to listen carefully and help you make sense of what's going on. My experience shows that most people find it easier to open up than they expected.
I'm a BACP accredited counsellor (reg. 390753. Read more about me and how I work.
