Life can change in an instant, and it did for me. I discovered therapy later in life, after a professional disaster. I was a 45-year-old father and husband; I owned a restaurant in West London, and I was making a good living. Then I lost it all: the restaurant, my house, and then, because of the stress, my marriage.
Overwhelmed, I went to see a therapist and I was relieved that he too had lived and experienced life’s struggles and could understand how difficult it can be when life suddenly runs aground. He, like me, was a self-made man and he inspired me to become a therapist. I hope that I can offer this bigger perspective as a therapist now.
I am a fully qualified BACP Registered counsellor. Therapist (BA Hons). Alongside my Private Practice, I am employed by the charity Relate as a relationship counsellor.
