About me
I'm an integratively trained, queer psychotherapeutic counsellor who offers both short- and long-term online therapy for adults across the UK and internationally.
I often work with thoughtful, psychologically curious people who appear highly functioning outwardly but experience a rich and sometimes overwhelming inner world. Early relationships, minority stress, and other difficult experiences may impact this. Here is a recent blog post that I wrote about my approach, if you'd like some more information.

I support clients with a range of experiences including anxiety, low mood, relationship worries, shame, and the lasting impact of earlier or complex life experiences. I also have significant experience working with neurodivergent clients.
Some clients come to me for the first time, whereas others arrive having done previous therapeutic work and are looking for greater depth or to build on skills and self-knowledge that they already hold. Either way, we will move at a pace that feels thoughtful and manageable for you while making space for honesty, messiness, laughter - and, if you want it, change.
I offer a warm, affirming space where your experiences are taken seriously, and where you can show up as you are. My approach is relational and integrative, and informed by existential therapy.
Many clients choose to work with me longer-term; most have been with me for a year or more. I currently have space for a small number of new clients.
I have specific clinical and academic experience in working with trans and gender-diverse people. My Master’s research explored how therapists can work thoughtfully and ethically with gender in the therapy room, and this continues to inform my practice. My work is explicitly anti-conversion therapy for both gender and sexuality, and I deeply respect and trust my clients’ varied experiences of the world and themselves. I have also contributed to research with GIRES (Gender Identity Research and Education Society), supporting their development of gender research within the therapeutic world and beyond. I currently work with trans or other gender-diverse clients, as well as those who love them.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Masters in Psychotherapy & Counselling from Regent's University. I have three years of clinical experience working with adults both in-person and online. I have worked on a voluntary basis for GIRES (Gender Identity Research and Education Society), as part of their research team.
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.
