I have availability to work with new clients.

When you're looking for someone to think with

I offer individual therapy in Winchmore Hill and Enfield, North London, as well as online therapy across the UK.

You may be looking for individual therapy for anxiety, struggling with relationship problems, low self-esteem, stress or overthinking, or simply finding life harder to cope with than usual.

Perhaps your mind rarely switches off. You may replay conversations, worry about what other people think of you or become anxious when someone feels distant. You might appear to be managing while feeling much less confident or secure underneath.

Pressure at work can also become difficult to carry. You may feel overwhelmed, unable to switch off or as though too much is expected of you. Work, relationships and family pressures can start to pile up.

I can help with anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, stress, work pressure, overthinking and difficulty coping.

I trained in individual and couple psychodynamic therapy at Tavistock Relationships, where I now work as a visiting clinician. My style is thoughtful and engaged. I won't rush to tell you what your experience means, but I will help you think about it.

Individual therapy, counselling and psychotherapy can give you somewhere to talk about things that may be difficult to make sense of alone.

I help people with:

• anxiety and overthinking

• stress and pressure at work

• feeling overwhelmed or finding it difficult to cope

• low self-esteem and self-criticism

• relationship problems and repeating patterns

• dating, intimacy, break-ups and loneliness

• family pressures and difficult family relationships

• questions around race, culture, belonging or who you are

You may find yourself trying hard to keep other people happy, worrying about rejection or becoming unsettled when someone you care about feels distant. Perhaps similar relationship difficulties keep returning even when the people or circumstances change.

Family expectations can leave you caught between what you want and what other people need from you. At work, you may put pressure on yourself to keep going even when you're struggling underneath.

In individual therapy, we can think about what is happening now and become curious about why certain feelings or patterns keep returning. My approach is psychodynamic and relational, so I won't simply tell you how you should think or behave. We'll try to understand more about what may be happening underneath.

I offer individual therapy in Winchmore Hill and Enfield, alongside online therapy and online counselling across the UK.

The first therapy session is a chance for you to tell me what has brought you to counselling and what you would like help with.

I'll ask about what is happening now and anything from your relationships, family, work or earlier experiences that feels important. You don't need to arrive with a neat explanation of what is wrong.

You may simply know that you're anxious, overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, feeling low in confidence or finding things harder to cope with than usual.

The first meeting also gives you a chance to get a sense of me and how I work before deciding if you would like to continue.

For our first meeting, I charge £50 for a 50-minute consultation. If we decide to continue working together, we would usually meet weekly. Ongoing individual therapy is £80 for 50 minutes.

I can also sometimes offer lower-cost therapy where suitable, depending on availability. You're welcome to ask about this when you get in touch.

Sessions are available in Winchmore Hill, Enfield or online.

I'm currently available to work with new clients. 

When closeness has become distance

I offer specialist couples therapy in Enfield and online, with a particular interest in sex, intimacy, trust and changes in closeness within relationships.

You may still care deeply about each other but no longer feel as close. Sex may have become less frequent, difficult to talk about or stopped altogether. One of you may feel rejected or unwanted while the other feels pressure or isn't sure how to explain what has changed. 

Sometimes an affair, infidelity or loss of trust has shaken the relationship. At other times the change has been quieter. Becoming parents, having a baby or carrying the demands of family life can leave very little space for the two of you. You might find that you cannot stop arguing and would like some support to manage this. 

I can help when you both want more closeness but aren't sure how to get there, or when sex, desire, trust or intimacy have become difficult to talk about.

I trained in couple and individual psychodynamic therapy at Tavistock Relationships, where I now work as a visiting clinician.

Couples therapy and relationship counselling can offer somewhere to talk about parts of a relationship that may have become surrounded by silence, hurt or pressure.

I help couples with:

• sex and intimacy

• loss of desire or differences in sexual desire

• physical affection and emotional closeness

• affairs and infidelity

• rebuilding trust

• feeling rejected or unwanted

• becoming parents and relationships after having a baby

Sometimes you miss affection but feel awkward trying to get it back. One person may want more sex or intimacy while the other pulls away. Both of you can end up feeling rejected in different ways.

Where there has been an affair or loss of trust, there may be anger, guilt, hurt and unanswered questions. Couples therapy can help you make sense of what has happened and what it means for the relationship.

Parenthood can bring another kind of change. Becoming parents can affect your roles, your energy and how much you have left for each other. It can be surprisingly lonely to miss your partner while living alongside them every day.

My role isn't to push you towards staying together or separating. I can help you understand what has changed between you and what greater closeness, honesty or clarity might look like.

I also offer online couples therapy across the UK.

The first couples therapy session gives each of you some space to tell me how the relationship feels from where you're standing.

I'll ask what has brought you now, what has changed and what each of you hopes might be different. I may also ask about the history of your relationship and what happens when one of you feels rejected, hurt or under pressure.

If sex or intimacy has become difficult, you won't be expected to talk about anything before you're ready. If there has been an affair or loss of trust, you don't need to already know what you want to do about the relationship.

The first session is a chance for me to understand you both and for you to get a sense of how I can help.

For our first meeting, I charge £80 for a 50-minute consultation. If we decide to continue working together, we would usually meet weekly. Ongoing couples therapy is £120 for 50 minutes.

Sessions are available in Enfield or online.

I currently have availability to see new clients. 

Helping couples understand what has come between them

I offer specialist couples therapy and couples counselling in Enfield, North London, as well as online.

You may have reached a point where the same arguments keep returning, communication has become difficult or you feel more distant from each other than you used to. Sometimes there has been a clear crisis. Sometimes nothing dramatic has happened, but you feel lonely in the relationship or as though you've slowly lost each other.

Perhaps attempts to talk end in more arguing, one of you withdraws or you both leave conversations feeling unheard. I can help you slow these patterns down and begin to understand what keeps happening between you.

I trained at Tavistock Relationships, where I now work as a visiting clinician. Much of my work is with couples and relationship difficulties, particularly when two people care about each other but have become stuck in ways they haven't been able to shift alone.

As a mixed-Black male therapist, I also bring sensitivity to how family, race, culture, gender and different backgrounds can shape relationships and the way we understand each other.

I offer couples therapy in Enfield and online couples therapy across the UK.

Whether you think of it as couples therapy, couples counselling or relationship therapy, the starting point is often the same. Something between you has become difficult to change on your own.

I help couples with:

• communication problems and constant arguing

• recurring arguments and relationship conflict

• emotional distance and feeling disconnected

• loneliness within a relationship

• feeling unheard, blamed or shut out

• uncertainty about whether the relationship can change

You might be caught in a pattern where one of you pushes to talk while the other pulls away. Small disagreements become bigger arguments. Both of you may be trying to feel understood, while somehow leaving the other feeling further away.

I don't take sides or decide who is right. In couples counselling, I help you notice the pattern you've become caught in and think about what may sit underneath the anger, silence or defensiveness.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. I'm interested in what is happening between you now and in the experiences that may have shaped how each of you responds when you feel hurt or uncertain.

Couples therapy isn't only for relationships at breaking point. Sometimes couples come because they can feel distance growing and want help before things become harder.

In the first couples therapy session, I will give each of you time to tell me how you experience the relationship and what has brought you to therapy now.

I'll ask about what has been happening between you, some of the history of your relationship and what tends to happen when things become difficult. We may begin to notice a pattern that leaves you both feeling stuck.

The focus isn't on deciding who is to blame. It's about helping me understand your relationship and giving you a sense of how I work.

You don't need to arrive agreeing about the problem or knowing what you want to happen next.

For our first meeting, I charge £80 for a 50-minute consultation. If we decide to continue working together, we would usually meet weekly. Ongoing couples therapy is £120 for 50 minutes.

Sessions are available in Enfield or online.
