Email meAbout me
I have 18 years of extensive mental health experience as well as within the LGB&T community. This includes in private practice, psychiatric NHS and the mental health charity MIND in senior managerial and therapist roles.
I am a BACP Accredited therapist as well as a qualified supervisor.
I see individual clients, couples and groups.
I have a deep understanding around individuals who have mental health issues.
I also see clients who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, non binary, pan and heterosexual.
I enjoy working with couples on many relationship issues and the couples I see come from a wide variety; heterosexual relationships, gay relationships and polyamorous relationships.
I also offer online therapy for individual counselling or supervision.
You will find me dedicated and committed to my clients and supervisees and I have a drive and passion for my work. It is such a rewarding experience to see people grow and blossom and an honour to be a part of.
