Most people who sit down with me aren't in crisis. They're capable, thoughtful people who've been holding it together for a long time and are tired of white-knuckling through.
As an Occupational Therapist and behavioural therapist with over a decade in mental health, from frontline clinical work to leading teams in public services, I've spent thousands of hours helping people work through trauma, anxiety, overwhelm and stuck patterns using practical, evidence-based approaches that change what your days actually look like, not just how you talk about them.
Therapy with me is structured and human. We work out what's actually driving the pattern, then build the tools to change it — at a pace that respects where you're at.

What people say
Meet your Therapist
“It’s a privilege to walk alongside you, offering encouragement as you seek to uncover balance, flourishing, and peace in your life.”
Hi, I’m John
“I offer a value led approach. Through collaborative therapy, you’ll create meaningful, lasting change, helping you further align with your values and flourish in life.”
I am an Occupational Therapist (MSc, PgDip, BA.) with over a decade of experience in mental health and vocational rehabilitation. I have worked in clinical and managerial roles in both the public and private sectors.
My work has been informed by various modalities, including Occupational Therapy, Behavioural Therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing), and Coaching. I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of individuals in one-on-one and group settings, each facing their own unique set of mental and emotional health challenges.
Commitment
I combine modern therapy techniques with the flexibility of online sessions to fit your lifestyle. Using evidence-based practices, I’m committed to offering personalised care that’s accessible, convenient, and designed to support your unique journey.
