My approach, which I call “Dream Then Change,” draws from humanistic therapy and my own journey of self-discovery—including my recent recognition of my own neurodivergence, which has deepened my understanding and empathy for those navigating similar experiences.
As a musician, I write and perform music with a pop heart and alt-rock skin. As a solo artist, I create music that explores human experience through sound and lyrics. Some based on personal experiences and some on life observations.
I believe music and therapy share something essential: both can help us access parts of ourselves that remain hidden in everyday life.
These two strands—therapy and music—aren’t separate for me anymore. They’re both ways of helping people (including myself) find authentic expression and connection. The “Dream Then Change” process brings together insights from both worlds to help you align your thinking, feeling and behaviour with what truly matters to you.
I am an experienced therapist trained in several modalities. As an integrative therapist I can focus on the experience of the therapeutic relationship and can adapt to your needs and style using my many years of experience working with a wide range of clients with varied issues and backgrounds.
I will help you to experience a warm therapeutic relationship to support the changes you want to make to improve your experience of life. I also use my pre-therapy experience in the music and IT industry in particular to good effect. I work with individuals, couples and young adults mostly. My focus on the relationship is enhanced by my current project using the Imago Clinical techniques. I am an accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a trained psychotherapist.
I belong to UK Association of Humanistic Psychology Practitioners, part of UKCP humanistic school. I have had many clinical hours and a similar number in support roles with autistic spectrum, learning difficulties and psychiatric hospital clients. The majority of these are adult 1:1 though also with couples and family therapy and about one third of my hours are with children and young adults (mostly 9-25 year olds) so am experienced in all those forms. Total clinical hours are now over 5,000
I cover all types of issue from relationships, communication and self-esteem through mood disorders and dependency having worked with drugs, alcohol and gambling in the latter. In recent years I have also worked with an increasing number of neurodivergent clients, particularly with ADHD and through this and my own personal experience feel I can offer a unique perspective.
An increasing part of my work is in couples therapy using the Imago methodology and my experience as a traditional couple therapist. I am a trained Imago Therapist awaiting accreditation.
