Psychotherapy and Counselling can create a safe and supportive opportunity to lean into whatever may be limiting your sense of freedom and vitality.
Most people who arrive at this page are dealing with thoughts, beliefs or actions that limit your capacity to enjoy life and pursue goals.
I bring to the therapeutic relationship, many years experience and training in a range of modalities; including Process work, Narrative and Somatic (Body-oriented) Therapy.
Anxiety and Depression have never been more evident in the context of Psychotherapy & Counselling - particularly in these times of covid as well as financial and political instability.

Men’s issues can be associated with the roles and responsibilities that influence our concept of being a man, the notion of masculinity and the pervasive nature of patriarchy. Seeing our issues in the light of a broad worldview can be both relieving and enlightening, moving towards a shift in our habitual patterns of behaviour.
As a gay man I have found the expanding conversation around LGBTIQA+, gender identity and sexual orientation continue to grow as I welcome these client groups into my practice.
I remain committed to my own Personal Growth journey, which includes many spiritual, philosophical and psychological pathways, with an overarching sense of unity and connection to Source. My background is Jewish, as well as being influenced by many Eastern philosophies, meditation techniques and mindfulness practices.
While Psychedelic-assisted therapy remain illegal in this country, I am enthusiastically informed about these developments. Integration is a vital tool in the context of working with Psychedelics and I provide support for those who seek the benefit of integrating their experience.
