Hi, I'm Adam (he/him), I'm an experienced counsellor in Leeds City centre (LS1).
I don't believe people are 'broken' and therapy isn't about fixing what's 'wrong' with you.
I have a wealth of experience working with unique clients over many years in multiple services offering a tailored approach in a safe non-judgemental space with each person I continue to work with.
I have personal experience of healing from my own trauma with my recovery taking many years. Often, survival strategies that create challenges today are often the ones that helped you survive in the past.
Although we share many life experiences that can appear similar, what is going on in our own minds stands uniquely to us.

Understanding before change - Together we'll explore patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours before working together to try to change them.
Therapy that fits you - Every session is shaped around your experiences, goals, and what feels right for you in that very moment. There is no one-size fits-all approach.
Growth that feels authentic - The goal isn't to become someone else or to be someone that others want you to be. It is to understand yourself and develop healthier ways to respond.
Time is on your side - Our sessions are open-ended and change will take as long as you need it to.

What clients often say..
Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, depressed with no direct link to present circumstances, or caught in patterns they can't seem to change.
- I'm constantly overthinking and feel like I'm losing everybody around me.
- I look like I'm doing OK and nobody would guess but I'm really struggling right now.
- I spend all my time looking after everybody else and I have no idea how to care for myself.
- I know why I feel this way but I can't seem to change it.
- I don't feel like anybody will ever understand how my brain works.
If any of these thoughts sound familiar, it may be a sign that it's time to seek support and create meaningful change.
