Integrative Psychotherapy &
Therapeutic Coaching
Walthamstow (E17), Hackney (E8) and Online
It’s difficult to be vulnerable in front of others and I am not going to pretend it’s not. Finding the courage to share your internal world is daunting, and I respect the immense bravery it takes to take that first step.If you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with your identity, or feeling disconnected from the world around you, you do not have to figure it out alone. I provide a structured, supportive space to help you rebuild.
About me
My practice is deeply rooted in an understanding of identity, belonging, and transition.Having navigated major life transitions myself - including moving across countries, cultures, careers and navigating life as a gay man - I understand firsthand the complex process of rebuilding yourself.I know the disorienting ache of feeling invisible, the quiet grief of leaving a past version of yourself behind, and the courage it takes to claim your true identity when the world inside or around you changes.I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and completed my professional training at the University of East London in Integrative Counselling and Coaching.
How I work
As an integrative counsellor and therapeutic coach, I believe in honouring the complexity of your story and your unique human experience. While my work is rooted in solid theoretical foundations, our partnership balances two approaches:
• Deep, Reflective Psychotherapy: To explore your past, understand your relational patterns, and process root causes.
• Forward-Focused Therapeutic Coaching: To give you practical tools, clarify your goals, and build a future that is meaningful to you.
I specialise in helping clients when:
01.
Life Shifts Around You
Navigating career changes, cultural displacement, relocation, or sudden turning points.
02.
You Feel Invisible
Feeling disconnected, struggling to be seen, heard, or authentic within your community or daily life.
03.
You are Lost in Relationships
Disappearing into the needs of others or losing your sense of self-worth in connection.
04.
Age Changes Your Perspective
Processing life transitions, aging, and how it changes your relationship with your body, desires, or community.
Fees
The practical side of our work together should be as clear and straightforward as possible, so you know exactly what to expect from the start.• Initial Consultation & First Session: £55 (50 minutes)
• Ongoing Individual Sessions: £80 (50 minutes)What to expect from your first session?
Our first session is a complete, active therapeutic space where we will explore what has brought you here, look at your immediate goals, and see how it feels for us to work together.
Because this initial step requires its own kind of momentum, I offer this first full session at a reduced rate to give you the space to decide if my approach aligns with what you need.
Next Steps
I work with clients online across the UK and face-to-face in Walthamstow (E17) and Hackney Central (E8).To get started, send me a message to book our initial session.
