"I wasn’t sure. Honestly, I thought therapy was for people with major issues - but I could see that if I didn't get support I could be going the same way. I realised I was stuck. Work was getting harder to manage, I felt stressed and low, and things with my partner were becoming distant. I was using porn more than I wanted to, and while it helped me cope, I knew it wasn’t helping me move forward. I just didn’t know what else to do.
Eventually, I gave therapy a shot. I figured—what’s the worst that could happen? Turns out, it wasn’t weird or awkward. It was actually pretty interesting. Yeah, some parts were emotional and tough, but it also felt natural. We talked, I thought things through, and slowly I started connecting the dots. I could finally see what was going on underneath it all.
Working with Andy gave me space to figure things out and build a plan. Now I feel more clear-headed, confident, and I’m not stuck in that same place anymore."

I am an UK NHS-trained practitioner with over 22 years of clinical experience across a broad spectrum of settings. I help my clients break free and make meaningful improvements to their life, including working on alcohol, drugs, internet porn, sex, addictions, ADHD, low-confidence, stress and relationship difficulties.

Qualifications: I hold a Master’s Degree in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and a Postgraduate Qualification in Intercultural Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, both from the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust in London, UK.
I also have a number of other trainings, including CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), SFBT (Solution Focused Brief Therapy), PST (Problem Solving Therapy), PM+ (Problem Management Plus), Trauma Informed Care (TIC), Reflective Practice, Critical Incident Debriefing, Diagnosis and Assessment of Adults with ADHD (UKAAN), and 14 years working in Gender, Diversity & Intersectionality.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. I work with clients to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Our goal is to help our clients develop the tools and skills they need to manage life's challenges and achieve their goals. I offer individual adult therapy, as well as group therapy and workshops.

With extensive experience working across a wide range of issues—including crisis settings and managing mental health services for people with complex needs—you can trust that you’re in capable and compassionate hands.
I work with a wide range of clients, and everyone is different. I treat anxiety & stress, depression, addiction, impulsive and compulsive behaviours including online porn, sex and substance misuse, trauma & PTSD, men's issues, relationships and major life changes. My therapy and counselling work in an open-ended, client-led way that means you decide how long, or how short the work we do together is, and what subjects to cover.
I work predominately on-line for UK and international clients, and also provide training and clinical supervision to a number of international organisations.

I didn't know what to say. I've never talked about these things before to anyone. Talk with Andy just was easy and relaxed and before I knew it I was talking non-stop - it was such as relief.
