About me

In addition to working with private clients, I have spent the last 10 years working with the charity Abandofbrothers, supporting young men through mentoring and rites of passage.

My approach

Many of my clients grew up feeling unseen or unheard — carrying childhood wounds, family dysfunction, or old patterns that still shape their lives today. Whatever issue has brought you to search for a therapist, I believe the heart of therapy is the relationship itself. When you feel truly seen and accepted, something shifts — old patterns soften, trust grows, and real change becomes possible.

My style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and gently challenging.

I use Transactional Analysis as my core approach, through a trauma-informed lens, to help clients make sense of the patterns that shape their lives — and to find freedom to choose differently.
