Private, personal psychotherapy in London & online

Talking therapy for the heart of the matter

I am a psychotherapist working in London and online, with individuals, two-somes and more-somes. I train existential therapists, conduct academic research into psychedelics and teach research methods. If you’d like to look more closely at your experiences, understand things better, and make any changes, I’m here to support you.

If you'd like to know my current availability, please get in touch.

What’s bothering you?

  • Taking an open and non-judgemental approach, I approach sex and sexuality with sensitivity, tact and determination to untangle what's going on. I am happy to work with any gender and sexuality or none, including victims of sexual violence, offenders, or if you fear causing sexual harm. I am BDSM/kink aware, and fine to discuss fetishes, chemsex, sex and porn addictions.

  • Intimate relationships are the source of great highs and sometimes unbearable lows. This can be relationships with partners long or short-term, monogamous or non-monogamous. I am familiar with principles of gender, sexual and relationship diversity including non-monogamy, polyamory and modern families.

  • You may find work colleagues difficult, or struggle to adapt to different social situations while maintaining a sense of 'me'. You can work effectively on your personal relationships within a therapeutic relationship.

  • It can be a difficult habit to get out of if you frequently indulge in something that feels good at the time, but causes other, longer-term problems. It could be drugs, drink, sex, anxiety, the list goes on. Avoiding simplistic or technique-based programmes, we will investigate what part this behaviour is playing in the system of 'you' and how you might get what you need without the problems.

  • If you're feeling deeply unmotivated and disconnected, unable to engage in life, or a low mood that feels inescapable no matter what you do or try, psychotherapy can help you move forward.

  • Loss or bereavement could be about grief, the death of loved ones, serious illness of yourself and others, or the loss of something or someone. My offer is to support you at a difficult time and stay with you for as long as you need.

  • Whether physical or emotional, regular or infrequent: the intentional hurting of yourself for some reason that seems to make sense, yet at another level you question. Is your self-harm a form of self-care? Is it something else? I will try to help you make sense of your behaviour.

  • Experience a supportive space to delve into your beliefs, values, and life purpose. Embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth while connecting with your inner wisdom and spiritual path. Unveil insights, deepen your understanding of your spiritual journey, and embrace greater meaning and fulfilment in your life.

  • Us humans tend to live in interconnected groups that span multiple generations, genders and sets of values. If the conflict implied by that is your main dilemma, it could help to talk it through.

  • Gender is complicated, each of us struggling to determine or discover our own relation to social norms, structures and institutions. I’ll help you work toward greater clarity.

  • This could be about reaching your potential, eliminating self-imposed blocks, becoming more in control of your life or getting out of it more of what you really want. Coming to therapy doesn't mean there's something 'wrong' with you, only that you perceive room for improvement.

  • Whether at home or at work, generalised or specific/triggered. Stress and anxiety are an increasing problem in modern life. You can improve your relationship to it, and navigate it better with support.

  • Internally or externally directed; profound and frequent feelings of rage that feel impossible to contain; an emotional dynamic that upsets the relationships most important to you. Can anger ever be righteous? Do you need anger management, or is it really about appropriate expression? Questions we can explore together.

  • These can be issues around self-esteem, work-place politics, public speaking, or in the bedroom. If you think you have a problem with confidence, self-esteem, or a sense of your value, it’s worth talking about.

  • Find a nurturing environment to address disordered eating and cultivate body confidence. Build a healthier relationship with food and your body. Unearth insights, foster self-acceptance, and reclaim confidence in your body's unique beauty and strength.

“It’s hard to find anything to say about life without immersing yourself in the world, but it’s also just about impossible to figure out what it might be, or how to best say it, without getting the hell out of it again.”
