About me
Hi there,
I am a creative, inspiring and dynamic coach, counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those who are Neurodivergant eg-autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.
I work in a wide range of ways, providing the following for my clients:
Coaching- This option describes one off coaching sessions when life hacks, skills and coping strategies or innovative ways to solve a problem are desired in by my client. We may discuss ways in which the client can access direction, support or how to deal with a life responsibility or social situation they may be struggling with. We may utilise talking therapy, visualisation or use creative materials.
Counselling sessions- This option describes short or medium term weekly sessions in which my client and I can work together on way to tackle life issues. This may be useful for recent changes, new beginnings, birth, death, loss, end of relationship, life changes, career direction, working with depression and anxiety or unhelpful patterns in my clients life.
Psychotherapy sessions can be used in an open-ended weekly format to really delve into what makes you tick. In these weekly sessions this is your time to ask the big questions-who am I? What do I want out of life? Do I have or want to have a sense of faith? What happened to me? How do I want my future to look and how do I get there?
We can use this time to gently and compassionately understand the authentic and joyous parts and the more problematic parts of your psyche that are inviting us to work with them.
This is especially useful if you frequently find yourself in the same problematic situations if you are experiencing addictive patterns in your life e.g food, sex, gambling, drink, drugs, porn etc.
Using a range of approaches and techniques we can work to create a more fulfilling life for you which you both enjoy and love so you can flourish and grow in to the person you are truly meant to be.

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.
