About me
As an Integrative Psychotherapist my approach provides holistic attention that invites awareness-raising, change and self-care.
I believe counselling and psychotherapy can support change and healing through focus and working together to empower individual experience and holistic wellbeing.
-
Specialising in trauma and identity, I work openly with mind, body and spirit; creatively supporting people to express and explore what they feel best and safest to.
-
I see people as a whole; a unique person with complex experiences, and a drive for wellbeing through creative adjustments to all aspects of existence.
People deserve to be fully heard, and met with non-judgemental openness, respect, authenticity, empathy, creativity and care.
-
Adhering to professional ethical guidelines, I practice with integrity and prioritise having safe and supportive therapy for individuals, groups and communities.
I am committed to an inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppression practice and hold a lens of bipoc trans feminism, equity and equality.
-
Our work together may consist of exploring present experiences, thoughts, feelings, self-care, perceptions, coping, identity, relationships, bodily sensations/movements and memories. While also attending to the past, to dreams and any other interrelated aspect, such as world events, community, culture, history, family, spirituality, diversity and the therapeutic process/relationship.
We can also support our work together with further creativity, i.e. using our imagination, objects, meditation, arts, crafts, writing, music, movement and imagery.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 15 years experience across community, health, social care, education and charity sectors. I work creatively with a trauma and adjustment lens of practice for both short and long term therapeutic goals, with individuals, groups, communities and organisations.

I am committed to an inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppression practice.
