Weekly Therapy
A lot of the men I work with have spent years trying to think their way out of something that thinking alone won't fix. They're capable, self-aware, and have often already tried the productivity systems, the breathing exercises, the self-help books. And yet the anxiety keeps coming back. The burnout creeps in again. The effects of something difficult in the past still show up in ways they can't quite explain.
Weekly therapy is a space to work on that properly. Not to diagnose what is wrong with you, but to understand what has happened to you and how it has shaped the way you think, feel and behave now.
What we work on
I work with anxiety, burnout, and trauma. These often overlap more than people expect. Burnout rarely just comes from working too hard. Anxiety isn't always about the present. And the effects of difficult past experiences have a way of showing up in the body and in relationships long after the events themselves.
Where trauma is part of the picture and you want a more focused, intensive approach, I also offer Intensive EMDR, a concentrated format that can produce significant change in a shorter period of time.
How I work
I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. Rather than following a rigid protocol, I work out what makes most sense for you specifically and build from there.
The work is collaborative. You're not being fixed or managed. You're working with someone who takes seriously both the science of what helps and the fact that you're a person with a particular life, not a set of symptoms to be processed.
What to expect
Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, and available online or in person. We start with a free consultation to talk through what's going on and whether working together feels like the right fit. There's no pressure and no obligation.
Most people find that something shifts relatively quickly once they're in the right space working in the right way. How long therapy takes depends entirely on what you're bringing to it. Some people work for a few months. Others find longer term work more useful. We work that out together as we go.
Is this right for you?
Weekly therapy works well when there's something you've been carrying for a while and you're ready to do something about it. When the self-help approaches haven't been enough. When you want something more than managing symptoms week to week.
If what you need is something shorter and more focused, Brief Therapy might be a better starting point. We can talk through which makes more sense when we speak.

Focused ACT
Most people who come to therapy don't need years of weekly sessions. They need to work out what's getting in the way right now and start moving again.
Focused ACT is built for that. It draws on the same principles as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy but works in a much more concentrated way. As little as one to four sessions. The goal isn't to fix everything. It's to find the specific point where things have got stuck and work on that directly.
What gets in the way
You probably already have a sense that something isn't working. The same pattern keeps showing up. The anxiety doesn't settle. The feeling that you're managing rather than actually living the life you want.
Sometimes you don't need to spend months going back to the beginning. Sometimes the more useful question is simply: what would it take to move forward from here?
How it works
We start with one session. In that session we work out what's showing up for you, where it's pulling you away from what matters, and what a meaningful change would actually look like.
For a lot of people, that one session is enough to get things moving. For others, two to four sessions gives the work more room and time for things to shift properly.
You don't need to commit to anything beyond the first session. That's the point.
Is this right for you?
It tends to work well when there's something specific you want to address, when other approaches have felt too slow, or when weekly open-ended therapy just doesn't fit your life right now.
It isn't right for everyone though. Some things genuinely need more time, space to explore what's underneath, room to build on progress week by week, a pace that feels manageable rather than pressured. If that sounds more like where you are, I offer longer term weekly therapy too and we can talk through what makes more sense for you.
This isn't a cut-down version of therapy. It's a different way of working, for a different kind of need.
