About me
As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I offer a warm, non-judgmental, safe space where we can openly discuss issues. Whether you are exploring the nuances of your sexuality, confronting internalised homophobia, or navigating challenging family responses, I am here to support you every step of the way.
I specialise in gender identity, supporting clients through the complexities of their feelings and experiences, with a strong dedication to supporting transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming individuals. I stand in solidarity with those who navigate the complexities of their identities and specialise in providing compassionate and understanding support to assist them on their unique journeys. Additionally, I do not prescribe to any practises relating to or advocating conversion therapy.
I have recently qualified in intimate partner relationships/couple’s therapy. This specialisation enables me to assist couples in addressing various topics, including communication styles, attachment issues, infidelity, neurodiversity, gender transition support, as well as polyamorous dynamics and ethical non-monogamous relationships. I am able to adapt my approach to effectively explore these important issues. Relationships play a vital role in our lives. They can be a source of joy, support, and a safe space to truly be ourselves. However, when challenges arise in our relationships, it can affect our overall wellbeing, leading to increased stress and even feelings of anxiety or sadness for many. I am also equipped to provide support to parents or guardians who may be navigating the complexities of a loved one's LGBTQIA+ identity.
