I’m a qualified trauma-informed therapist, specialising in supporting men through trauma and addiction recovery. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of working within the North West prison estate, helping men navigate the impacts of various traumas, whether from childhood abuse, unstable home environments, or more recent events like assaults or accidents.

Trauma affects everyone differently, and I have experience working with a wide range of issues, from severe traumas such as sexual assault and violence, to those that may seem less obvious, like emotional abuse, relationship breakdowns, or struggles with social belonging. No matter the experience, trauma can shape our lives in deep and lasting ways.

I also specialise in addiction recovery, addressing not just the physical dependence and mental obsession that comes with addiction (whether alcohol, substances, or behaviours), but also the ways addiction impacts relationships and life skills.

Having gone through my own struggles in life, I understand the importance of finding what works for you. For me, a combination of talking to someone who listens, connecting with music (both listening and creating), and physical activity have been key to my own healing. A goal of mine is to help you identify the practises that can become part of your wellness routine—building a foundation for processing tough experiences.

My approach is flexible and tailored to your unique needs. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I work with adults and young people (16+), knowing that everyone’s journey is individual and that therapy is never “one-size-fits-all.”
