“I’m not sure what’s wrong with me.” “I feel overwhelmed and I don’t know where to start.” “I just need someone to talk to who won’t judge me.”

If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. I work with teenagers, young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, low self-esteem, relationship or family difficulties, grief, life changes, identity and cultural issues, and the pressures of school, university or work.

I’m a warm, approachable integrative counselling therapist. I adapt how we work to you rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach. Sometimes that means talking things through; sometimes we might look at patterns from the past, thoughts and behaviours, or use creative and practical ways to help you understand what you’re experiencing and find a way forward.

I’m a BA Integrative Counselling graduate and MBACP Registered counsellor, with around nine years’ post-qualification counselling experience, including several years working with young people in education and private practice.

I practise from a calm, dedicated therapy room at Therabode in central Cheltenham, as well as offering online counselling across the UK. I’m also a Black male counsellor with lived experience of growing up between cultures, which can sometimes help clients feel more understood.

I offer a free introductory call so we can see if we’re a good fit, with no pressure either way.
