About me and my therapy practice
I work from a person-centred foundation, which means my priority will be to nurture your healing, self-awareness and growth. It means our therapeutic relationship will be collaborative, while I’ll also be taking your lead. My intention is to enable you to be a more confident and resilient person, with the necessary emotional and spiritual resources to meet the challenges that life presents.
My approach is influenced by mindfulness meditation, group facilitation, and conflict mediation in environmental and social justice movements. I am committed to individual and collective liberation, with experience facilitating spaces that help participants reconnect with themselves, others, and nature.
I identify and am perceived as middle-class, while I’m also part of working-class struggle. I am a thirty-six-year-old white, heterosexual, cis gendered, relatively able-bodied man. I welcome reflection on power, identity, and economic class within the therapeutic space, should that feel relevant to you.
Practice description
Sliding Scale Payment
I believe counselling should not be a commodified service. My preference is to work in a socialised economy (subsidised by the taxpayer), or in a ‘gift economy’, where a donation is freely given (or not). For personal and structural economic reasons — which I’d be happy to explore with you — I currently charge a sliding scale from £30 per session online, and £40 per session in-person (because of room hire).
You are invited to choose a rate that feels affordable and fair to you — no explanation is required. If you feel comfortable paying £50, £70, £100 or any higher amount per session then great, your support is appreciated. You are welcome to speak about your own economic situation at any point if it feels useful.
My first session
To begin with, I offer a free 20 minute consultation for you to decide whether we're a good fit.
I look forward to hearing from you.
