About me
I am a queer and trans Person-Centred therapist. I always aim to understand you and your life experience. I hope that in therapy together you would feel seen and understood and explore what is troubling and distressing you, . This could be anything from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, gender and sexuality questioning, workplace difficulties or issues with family, to name a few.
I have lots of experience working with queer clients and it can be incredibly valuable having a therapist from within your community. However, I also have experience working with people outside of the LGBTQ+ community and this work has been very useful to clients. Previously I have volunteered at a bereavement service and so have experience supporting those experiencing lose.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have extensive experience working with queer, trans and non-binary clients. Some people come looking to explore their identity but many come to therapy for other reasons, such as feeling anxious or depressed. I have worked with a broad variety of issues and work with you as the unique person that you are, not trying to fit broad and generalised theories onto your experience.
I trained at the Metanoia Institute on a thorough five year training course in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy. As part of this training I conducted research and received an MSc.
I also run trainings on Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity for qualified and trainee therapists.
