Everyone thinks you’re fine. You know you’re not.
You can’t take it to the board. You can’t really take it home either. Your friends think you’ve got it made, and on paper you have. So you carry it on your own, and you get very good at looking fine.
I know that place because I lived there for a long time. Leaving it took me back to study, through years of training, and eventually here.
Who I work with.
Many of the men I see are in senior or C-suite roles. Many have never been to therapy, and part of them is suspicious of it. That’s fair enough. There’s no jargon here and nobody is going to tell you what’s wrong with you. What you get is a confidential space with someone who knows how your world works, where you can finally think out loud.
I also work with many women who want a male therapist and need to know he’s safe. Some have spent their careers being talked over or not quite believed. Some have never had a man simply listen to them without wanting something back. I’ll listen. Properly. And if you’re carrying a senior role and most of what happens at home as well, I see that too.
Over the years I have also worked with addiction, alcohol, gambling, workaholism and depression. Whatever brings people to me, the same thing usually sits underneath. Fear, and a feeling of being lost.
How we start.
First, a free thirty-minute call. Just a conversation. You’ll know fairly quickly whether I’m someone you can talk to.
If we go ahead, we begin with six sessions I call Foundations. I’m not trying to fix you in those sessions. I want to understand your whole life, where you’ve come from and what’s really going on underneath. At the end we sit down and look at it honestly together. Do you want to carry on, and am I the right person for you? You decide. Either answer is fine.
After the first session I’ll send you something small to reflect on before we meet again. A lot of the real work happens between sessions.
If you commit to the six sessions you get 10% off, and you still pay one session at a time.
How I work.
I’m a transpersonal psychotherapist. In plain terms, I’m interested in the whole of you, including the bigger questions about meaning and direction that surface when life gets hard. I won’t fix you, and I won’t tell you how wonderful you are. I’ll be straight with you, and I’ll help you see your own patterns clearly enough to find your way through them. There is no quick fix. You’re the expert on your own life. My job is to help you hear yourself.
All my sessions are online, by Zoom or Teams, on UK hours. People open up more from their own space. And nobody sees you walking into a therapist’s office.
I work with burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction and dependency, workplace bullying, difficult work dynamics and life transitions, along with the quieter questions that often sit underneath them.
