“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Hello

Currently I work for a mental health NHS foundation trust, as a tutor on an MA psychotherapy course and in private practice with individual clients.

My private practice is predominantly centred (but not exclusively) within the LGBTQIA+  community. Being part of the queer community myself, I have an innate understanding of the importance of providing a safe and accepting space, whatever you want to bring. If you identify as neurodivergent, as I do, it may be helpful to know that I aim to work with you whatever your communication or processing styles are.

I am trained to work with children and adults and my practice is both relational and experiential . I work with the ‘here and now’ (sensations, awareness, feelings, actions or what is noticed).  

My professional experience comes from educational settings, other NHS trusts, children’s as well as LGBTQIA+ mental health charitable organisations .

Before becoming a therapist, my experience came from creative arts and design environments so we can explore your inner world  in creative ways if this appeals.

 I can work with you individually around topics like gender, sexuality and relationships (inc: open and poly-affirming, kink aware) experiences. Isolation, meaning, freedom/responsibility, self exploration, our pluralistic identities, loneliness, loss or uncertainty are also topics you may feel you want to explore.
