About me
My name is Lil (they/them). I offer therapy for individuals and intimate partners. While much of my practice is centred around the queer and neurodivergent communities, my practice is open to people of all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures.
I incorporate a number of therapeutic modalities, such as relational, psychodynamic, person-centred and bodywork approaches.
Individual Sessions: How We’ll Work Together
I will always endeavour to work at your pace, offering a balance of internal exploration and practical support:
Understanding your story: We’ll explore how your past experiences and relationships shape how you feel today.
Helpful tools: We’ll build practical strategies to help you navigate overwhelming emotions and stress when they arise in daily life.
Listening to the body: Because trauma and stress are often held physically, we can incorporate gentle body-based techniques to help you reconnect with yourself.
Inclusive Approach: I recognise that traditional psychology was largely built around narrow, Eurocentric frameworks. I am committed to an anti-oppressive practice that honours your unique culture, background, and lived experience.
Working with Intimate Partners
While I draw on all of the approaches listed above, much of my work with intimate partners involves understanding how each partner’s internal world co-exists with another including (but not limited to) identity, attachment style, neurodiversity or relational history.
I don't prescribe a ‘right’ way to have a relationship. I support partners across all relationship structures (monogamous, open, polyamorous, and dynamic/kink-aligned) to build security, trust, and connection.
How we’ll work together:
Addressing Relational Dynamics: We will examine how each partner's past, identity, and stress responses shape how you interact.
Breaking Repetitive Cycles: We will identify the ‘stuck’ communication loops, replacing them with tools for listening and repair.
Respecting and Honouring Boundaries: We will focus on honest communication, consent, and defining relationship boundaries and agreements.
Areas I Can Help With
Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or just feeling stuck, I have experience supporting people through:
Anxiety, stress, and depression
Gender dysphoria, identity, and body image
Trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions
Relationship issues, attachment patterns
Navigating and healing from a betrayal
Navigating ethical non-monogamy
Substance use, eating disorders, OCD, and psychosis
If you feel as though we could be a good fit, feel free to reach out for an introductory call or session.

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.
