Everyone’s Mental Health Matters

📊 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year (Mind, 2023).

👥 1 in 8 men in England live with common mental health issues like anxiety or depression (NHS, 2022) — yet men are often less likely to seek support.

✨ Whoever you are, you don’t have to face it alone.

Is This You?

  • Do you ever feel like you’re meant to be “holding it all together” on the outside, while struggling inside?

  • Are you living with anxiety, low mood, or the aftermath of a relationship breakdown?

  • Have you been through big changes and found yourself unsure where to turn?

  • Do you sometimes feel different, misunderstood, or frustrated because of neurodivergence?

  • Would it help to have a space where you don’t have to keep it all bottled up?

How I Can Help

Whatever’s brought you here, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can talk things through and feel genuinely listened to. As a BACP-registered counsellor, I provide safe and confidential support, and I adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards.

I’ve worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including:

  • Anxiety, depression and low self-esteem

  • Trauma and painful childhood experiences

  • Relationship breakdowns and difficulties

  • Living with neurodivergence

  • Men navigating mental health struggles or big life changes

  • People adjusting to life after prison

I offer face-to-face sessions in South Woodford and Barkingside, and online or telephone therapy across the UK.

At the heart of my work is a person-centred approach, which means I’ll always follow your lead and go at your pace.

Take the Next Step

If you feel ready to begin, I invite you to get in touch. We can schedule a free, 15-minute introductory chat to see if we're a good fit.
