My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and grounded in the deep knowing that healing is possible—because I’ve lived it. Everything I offer is rooted in what has personally helped me heal complex trauma and reconnect with my True Self. I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS) with somatic practices to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to shift out of survival mode. I know there is so much more to life than just getting by—and if you're ready to experience that for yourself, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.  

My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine. Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by. EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”….. I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects. “Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings.  

I have a particular focus on the relationships that matter most to people, whether it's you as a couple, or as an individual looking for a different perspective on your relationships. My training is to MA level at one of the world's leading institutions for couple and individual therapy training. I am one of few men in the field. People say I have a warm, personable approach to my work.  

Do you feel like you’re carrying the relationship? Like you’re the one doing the emotional work… trying to communicate, trying to keep things together while the other person stays distant, defensive, or unavailable? That pattern doesn’t just affect your relationship. It affects how you feel about yourself. For over 20 years, I’ve helped clients across Canada, the U.S., and Europe break out of these one-sided dynamics—learning how to communicate clearly, set healthy boundaries, regulate emotions, and rebuild connection without losing themselves in the process. This isn’t about fixing the other person. It’s about strengthening you, so you can show up with clarity, confidence, and real influence in your relationships. Clients come to me when: Communication keeps breaking down Conflict escalates quickly (or gets avoided altogether) They feel unheard, unappreciated, or emotionally exhausted They’ve “tried everything”… but nothing seems to stick My sessions are practical, supportive, and deeply clarifying. You’ll understand what’s happening beneath the surface and more importantly, what to do differently so things actually change. If you’re ready to stop feeling unseen and start creating real connection, this is where we begin.  

Holding a grounded stance of compassion, empathy, non-judgment and light-hearted curiosity, I provide a safe and reflective space for clients to explore and gently unpack their lives. While clients may initially seek support for concerns such as anger, anxiety, compulsive sexual behaviours, relationship difficulties, or other presenting issues, my experience has shown that the underlying dynamics are often more complex than they first appear. My therapeutic ethos is centred on not viewing clients as problems to be fixed, but as individuals whose struggles deserve to be witnessed with respect, depth and thoughtful exploration. I work collaboratively, supporting clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and clarity about how they wish to live. I am of South Asian heritage, raised in London, and have lived in Sydney for over 30 years. Having straddled Eastern and Western cultures, including the particular nuances of my Indian background, I bring a culturally informed and integrative perspective to my practice. My earlier corporate career and lived experience of family life in Australia, alongside my own encounters with anxiety, stress and periods of low mood, have deepened my understanding of the pressures many clients face. My personal journey toward greater meaning, purpose and self-understanding informs my belief in psychotherapy as a transformative process. I am committed to supporting clients in cultivating insight, living more consciously, and moving toward lives that feel authentic and self-directed. If this approach resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

It's a common issue, these days, lack of motivation for anything, even things we love; lack of energy; unhappiness, and generally feelings which keep us away from enjoying life. It is true that many people do not grasp the feeling of being happy or they have forgotten it because they have been in a low mood for so long and can't seem to get out. But, think for a moment how you would feel if you were to actually, and largely, choose your feelings and could manage that low mood. You can't stop birds from trying to build nests, but YOU CAN stop them from, actually, building them. You don't get to choose what thoughts pop into your head, but YOU CAN choose, one, to stop them from nesting AND, two, how you react to them. In addition, many people, although they get to do things that could fill them and help them build confidence, they just can't feel that. It is because there are issues, in their mind, making them feel stuck in a depressed cycle. With the implementation of easy and straightforward techniques, you can build your confidence and feel better. You will see life from a positive perspective. We tackle issues such as anxiety, fears, performance issues (sports and other), low self-esteem, low self-confidence, arrogance, bad habits and dilemmas you come across in life. Together, not only will we find solutions that work for you, but you will get the tools to do that on your own, as well! You will find more than just therapy! A way of life! Here, I becomes You and You becomes I. While you are feeling understood and heard, you are finding real, honest, care for, and ever-lasting solutions to, your problems. Wherever you are in the world, I am here to help! Meetings are online in English or Greek. There is no reason to hesitate. Feel free to contact me today, to start this extraordinary journey. Together!

People come to therapy for a number of reasons; you may be experiencing trauma or bereavement, the effects of historical issues, or knock on effects of the pandemic. A lot of people come to therapy because life just feels unmanageable and are struggling with day to day living. You may not know why life currently feels so difficult. Talking with a trained and experienced counsellor can help you accept and move through your issues, give you the tools and understanding to cope better with life's challenges and discover a freedom to live with and beyond the things that are holding you back. Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.  

I’m here to help people like you gain the benefits of counselling. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about figuring out where you are and creating change so that you can stop second guessing yourself. I specialise in working with quietly capable women to step away from guilt, reconnecting with who they are beneath the expectations, claim back their time and to feel confident and connected through therapy that is collaborative, compassionate and sometimes creative.  

I offer a service where individuals and couples can process whatever challenge life is currently providing them.
