About me

My therapeutic approach centers on welcoming every part of you with curiosity and without judgement, even the parts that might feel shameful, impossible to bear or difficult to put into words. By courageously approaching these parts we can understand your experiences better, find new perspectives and discover a path forward. 

I am a queer counselling psychologist and highly experienced working with clients from the gender, sexuality and relationship diverse community, including non-monogamy and polyamory.  I want to empower you to be in charge of your own therapy and to focus on making the changes that are most important to you. 

I am committed to anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice which to me includes considering how the wider contexts in which we exist might be affecting our mental health and wellbeing.

Questions? Unsure if therapy is the right step or want to know more about my approach?

Get in touch and we can book a free 15min consultation call to answer any questions you might have or to discuss how I might be able to support you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have experience working with a wide range of mental health difficulties, for example depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, stress, chronic health conditions and grief. I take an affirmative approach to neurodivergence and I have experience working with autism and ADHD, whether you have a formal diagnosis or not. 

I work integratively using person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy while also drawing on ideas from acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion-focused therapy and emotion-focused therapy. Grounded in a humanistic approach, I believe the relationship between client and therapist is vital for therapy to be successful and that there is no simple template for healing. Guided by your preferences and goals, my experience and the psychological research available, we will create a therapeutic experience together that works for your unique person.
