Hi, I'm Adam.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I work with a broad range of concerns, including identity, relationships, attachment, trauma, and loss. I have particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients, expats and those navigating multiple cultural contexts, those with relational and attachment difficulties as well as performing artists and creatives. My approach is a carefully weighted balance of support and challenge, of grounded care and gentle nudging: I am not one of those therapists who just sits there quietly and nods, nor do I tell you what to do or how you should be. Instead, I will help you understand yourself better and, through that, make better sense of your difficulties. I am committed to helping you explore what makes you you without telling you what to do or making you feel like you ought to be different. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or advice-giving, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your difficulties.

I have extensive clinical experience across charity, private and healthcare settings. A large part of my experience is within Gender, Sex/Sexual and Relationship Diversity, including issues around LGBTQ+ identity. I am a founder and lead of a psychotherapy service offering long-term support to LGBTQ+ clients in Central/Eastern Europe. In collaboration with leading LGBTQ+ organisations in multiple European countries, I also develop and co-author international projects on queer mental health. In my international work, I deliver workshops, consultations and training to healthcare and mental health professionals on queer mental health as well working with GSRD/LGBTQ+ clients. I also work at a London-based sexual violence charity, offering therapy to sexual trauma survivors/victims, and I run a private practice alongside.

I offer a calm and reflective space to explore your inner world: the patterns, histories, and relational dynamics shaping your life. I'm interested in what's underneath how you feel, relate, and move through the world, including the unconscious processes that can be harder to name. My style is thoughtful, engaged and attuned to the inner patterns shaping your experience, with attention to both depth and context. Together, we'll work to understand what's going on beneath the surface and what it might be asking of you.
