““Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.”
- Lao Tzu
Hi, Welcome to my profile.
My main areas of practice include:
Men’s mental health
Trauma and abuse
Relationships and couples therapy
When working together, my aims are to always provide you with the support and understanding you need, in order for you to identify any challenges that may have an detrimental impact on your day to day living. This could include the development of specific skills or goals, as well as a greater understanding and awareness of yourself, your emotions, thoughts and feelings.
I also work in the belief that knowledge and awareness are key factors in understanding how we function as individuals. By fully grasping what actually happens to us emotionally, psychologically and physically, we can begin to process and change how we think, feel and behave.
Please note, I work online and by telephone only.
