My approach
I'm a Black British male therapist based in Bristol, offering one-to-one counselling for adults in person and online across the UK. My practice is queer inclusive and sex-positive, and I work with adults of all backgrounds.
People come to me feeling anxious, low, or under pressure. Others are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or questions of identity: race, culture, sexuality and gender. I also have a particular interest in men's mental health and in therapy for new dads and new parents, a life change that deserves more support than it usually gets.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I shape therapy around you. My core approaches are humanistic and psychodynamic. In plain terms, we'll focus on your present experience while understanding how past relationships may be shaping things now. I also draw on attachment theory and body-oriented psychotherapy, because the body often holds what words can't say. Talk therapy is never just talking.
My work is rooted in compassion, connection and curiosity. Compassion for the parts of you that have worked hard to cope, connection because change happens in relationship, and curiosity about who you are underneath it all.
Your outer line is the result of your story so far. It does not dictate your potential or what happens next. Therapy is a space to explore who you are - outside of expectations and beyond the labels.
Ready when you are. We can begin with a free consultation.
Sometimes we’ll see things differently.
I hope so.

That’s a scary word for a lot of us. Childhood experiences and world events have taught us that conflict is destructive, dangerous and fuels division. It’s no surprise that so many people describe themselves as conflict avoidant.
But what if I told you that Being able to share and explore differing perspectives, even when they don’t align, can actually deepen trust and strengthen relationships?

When conflict is approached in a healthy way, it gives us space to bring our differing perspectives into the room - to speak honestly and to listen openly. Avoiding conflict may bring short-term relief, but over time, it often leads to inner distancing or even what some call ‘quiet quitting’ in relationships.
To put it frankly, we cannot set meaningful boundaries if we’re afraid to get close to conflict. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and gently dismantle our psychological defences - those protective walls that once kept us safe but may now feel more like limitations.
In the therapy room, I don’t believe one person holds all the answers while the other has none. Instead, I see the process as a collaborative exploration - one where your voice, experience, and insight matter deeply
