About me

At Different Therapy, we celebrate and embrace the unique qualities of our clients. My passion for this work grows as I witness the profound impact it has on lives. Life can reveal unresolved issues we’ve tucked away over time. My goal is to help you discover a deeper understanding of yourself and your choices, achieve your personal or relationship aspirations, enhance communication, and navigate conflict with greater ease. With specialised training in GSRD & a sex-positive approach, I bring extensive experience in supporting clients from the LGBTQIA+, kink & non-monogamous communities.

Childhood trauma can leave lasting scars that affect every aspect of our lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I am here to offer non-judgemental, compassionate support and guidance as you navigate these difficult experiences. You are not alone in this journey, together, we can work towards healing and understanding.

I understand how often we hide parts of ourselves in an attempt to fit in or gain acceptance. In my therapy practice, every difference is embraced & celebrated. You'll find a down-to-earth, welcoming space where you can explore & express your true self—whether you’re already clear on who that is or still in the process of discovering it.

I am a qualified, registered member of BACP and NSC accredited. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience and my training

I offer face-to-face, video, and telephone counselling to suit your individual needs.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
