About me
Are you feeling stressed out or just not quite yourself?
Are you experiencing relationship difficulties, or facing challenges around your gender identity, sexuality, or relationship style?
Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or existential concerns?
I know how isolating and overwhelming these experiences can be, and how hard it can feel to open up to someone, maybe for the first time ever. I am here to listen to whatever you want to talk about with kindness, patience and compassion, so you don’t have to face things alone.
What do I offer?
I am a BACP registered integrative counsellor working with a person-centred basis. At the heart of my approach is the belief that in a warm, understanding and confidential environment, with a therapist who will never judge you and always listen with empathy, you can begin feeling safe enough to open up and we can explore the challenges you face at your own pace.
The integrative aspect of my practice means that I draw on different therapeutic approaches, such as attachment theory, trauma models, or compassion-focused therapy. I will tailor my work to your individual needs and may offer different perspectives or tools depending on what we both think might be helpful to you.
What issues do I work with?
Some of the challenges I frequently work with are:
- anxiety
- depression
- relationship issues with family, partners or friends
- issues faced by LGBTQIA community members
- relationship styles (like ethical non-monogamy)
- physical health, chronic or long-term illness, physical disabilities
- existential concerns
Training, qualifications & experience
What experience do I have?
I volunteered as a counsellor at Sunflowers Cancer Support Charity in Liverpool from 2022 to 2025. There, I worked with people facing life-changing diagnoses or traumatic treatment, people who are bereaved, and people going through existential crises. I feel privileged to have worked so closely with people in the most vulnerable, heartbreaking and scary times of their lives.
I also have 10+ years experience of working as a carer and personal assistant for elderly people and people with disabilities of all ages. Every day I see the many challenges faced by this population in a society focused on success and non-stop action. When you have needs that aren’t “typical”, you can often be pushed to the sidelines or simply ignored – I have made it my mission to change that and try to help the people most in need of being seen and heard.
This also applies to members of the LGBTQ+ community. As a relationship divergent person and member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I understand the challenges still faced in today’s society and know the value of speaking to someone who really understands you. If you are struggling with questions around your identity or are lacking support from those around you, we can work together to help you figure out who you are and what needs and desires you have, so that you can feel more fulfilled and yourself.

So what now?
If you would like to have a no-strings-attached chat about what therapy with me might be like, please reach out and we can have a free initial phone or video call, or a chat via email. This is a chance for you to ask me any questions you might have, and for us to see how I can best support you.
You don’t have to make a decision straight away. If you do decide that you want to work with me, we can then arrange a first session.

My practice is based on Slater Street in Liverpool City Centre. Unfortunately the practice is not currently accessible, as there are 42 steps leading up to the rooms. I do however also offer online and phone sessions.

I am originally from Germany and can work in English and German.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
