About My Practice

I work with a wide range of individuals and couples who want to live with greater confidence in themselves and their connections. Many clients come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck in self-doubt, or struggling with intimacy—whether that manifests in dating, long-term relationships, family dynamics, or friendships. My goal is to help you navigate these complexities and build a more fulfilling way of relating to yourself and others.

  

For couples, I provide a structured and supportive environment to explore the underlying patterns that may be causing friction or distance. Whether you are looking to improve communication, navigate a significant life transition, or deepen your emotional intimacy, we work together to foster a clearer understanding of your partnership and create a path forward toward meaningful growth.


I also specialise in supporting clients experiencing compulsive sexual behaviours, including sex, porn, and chemsex addiction. I help both individuals and partners understand the roots of these patterns and address the impact they may have on trust and connection. My approach offers a blend of deep empathy and "appropriate challenge," providing a safe, non-judgmental space in Marylebone or online where you can confront difficult truths and make lasting changes.


I also have training and experience in working with gay men, providing a knowledgeable and supportive space to navigate the specific challenges that can arise within the community concerning issues around intimacy, self-esteem, or the complexities of modern dating and relationships.
