A little about me…
Welcome!
​
I am a neurodivergent, gay, and queer therapist with a background in History and Geography, initially teaching history for 10 years. In London, he pursued a BSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and CBT at Birkbeck College, University of London, in 2015, followed by an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2018. I specialise in online therapy, couples and relationship therapy, and psychosexual therapy. I have volunteered with charities across London, including the Terrence Higgins Trust, Albany Trust, ELOP, CliniQ, and Amnesty International UK (Rainbow Network), and served within the NHS as a psychodynamic counsellor and psychosexual therapist. Since 2015, he has been dedicated to supporting clients in private practice.
I have over ten years of experience in the mental health sector based in London.
​
I offer a comprehensive range of services, including Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychosexual Therapy, Relationship Therapy, and Couples Therapy. I also provide Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diverse (GSRD) Therapy, all tailored to meet your unique needs. Let’s work together to support your journey toward healing and growth.
Passionate about psychodynamic counselling and psychosexual therapy, I’ve built a solid foundation in these fields through BACP, BPC and COSRT accredited programs. My journey began with a Foundation Degree in 2015 and continued with a BSc in 2016 in Psychodynamic Counselling and CBT, both from Birkbeck College, University of London. In 2018, I completed my MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, also at Birkbeck University of London.
​
My commitment to continuous learning has led to specialized training in online and telephone counselling, earning certificates in 2020 and 2021. I’ve also pursued advanced certifications, including Psychosexual Therapy (CICS, 2021), the Study of the Couple Relationship (Tavistock Relationships, 2022), and a COSRT-accredited Diploma in Clinical Sexology and Relationship Therapy (CICS, 2023).
