Therapy that works for you: evidence-based,
inclusive, and transformative
Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—but you don’t have to navigate its challenges alone. If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma recovery, stress, burnout, or identity exploration, you deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
I’m Adrian, an integrative psychotherapist and experienced coach with over 20 years of helping people overcome challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for more balance, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My process is simple, supportive, and designed to help you feel comfortable every step of the way. It all begins with a free discovery call, where we’ll connect, discuss your needs, and see if we’re a good fit.
I offer a free 20 minute discovery call to see if therapy is something that you would like to pursue
and if I am the right person for you.
Your first session is an opportunity to explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. We will discuss your concerns, goals, and any questions you may have about the process. This session also gives you a chance to experience how therapy works and determine if it feels like the right fit for you. If you decide to continue, we can arrange a regular time to meet and begin working toward meaningful change together.
Finally, we’ll begin therapy sessions tailored specifically to you, using evidence-based approaches to help you find clarity, build resilience, and create meaningful change. My goal is to make this process as clear and empowering as possible, so you can focus on what matters most—your well-being.
With over 20 years of experience spanning senior corporate board roles, executive coaching and psychotherapy, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. As someone who identifies as LGBTQ, I understand the complexities of navigating identity, discrimination, and the intersection of personal and professional life. Having held leadership positions in high-pressure industries like financial services and private healthcare, I also deeply relate to the challenges of balancing demanding careers with well-being. My own journey with anxiety and trauma has shaped my empathetic, integrative approach to therapy, allowing me to connect authentically with clients facing life’s transitions.
I provide compassionate support to help you navigate life’s transitions, whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, workplace stress, or leadership pressures.
Therapy length varies based on individual needs. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy (4-6 sessions), while others prefer longer-term support. We’ll discuss the best approach for you.
Yes, I offer both in-person therapy in London and Hitchin, as well as online sessions for clients who prefer the flexibility of remote therapy.
Whilst I can work with a whole range of people I have particular experience in supporting professionals and LGBTQ+ individuals with issues such as burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, trauma, work-related stress, and identity exploration.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. However, missed sessions without sufficient notice may still be charged.

Belonging is supposed to feel natural. It is one of those words that carries warmth and ease, the promise of home. Yet for many queer people, belonging has never been simple. It has often been something we have had to earn, negotiate, or hide parts of ourselves to keep.
In recent years, conversations about mental health have become far more open. Yet for many LGBTQ+ people in the UK, these conversations still come with a heavy weight: higher rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide compared to the general population.
For many LGBTQ+ people, finding safe, affirming spaces to explore identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing can be challenging.
