About me

The reasons we seek therapy, can be much like our humanness; messy and complicated. You might be feeling disconnected from yourself and others, or perhaps anxious and depressed. Whatever you choose to bring to therapy will be met with deep compassion, attention and trust. The therapeutic relationship sits at the heart of my practice, as a sacred site where deep transformation can occur.

As an experienced Clinical Psychologist, Educator and Poet, I bring an integrated approach to my practice. I help people reconnect with their bodies and return to full-feeling, with a direct and compassionate framework.

I offer short or long term therapy with all types of people, experiencing a vast range of difficulties (e.g. Grief, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression). I especially recognise that emotional pain is an understandable response to an oppressive, and sometimes madness-inducing world. ​I have particular experience in supporting those impacted by racism, homophobia and misogyny. My approach is collaborative, honest, and rooted in social justice.

It’s not always easy to ask for support or seek change. Whatever you're feeling, it is welcome here. I offer a radically tender space where we will offer loving attention to the worlds on either side of your skin. You can be from any background or walk of life - it would be an honour to support your growth in this time.
