The reason why we seek support from therapy and counselling differs from person to person. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety or depression. Maybe you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships or at work. Possibly you need support through a transition in your life. Or perhaps you are struggling with a sense of who you are and why you are here. Therapy can help us navigate life's storms, ebbs and unchartered waters. If you are struggling with something not listed above, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Therapist
I'm a qualified Therapist passionate about creating a welcoming and supportive space for everyone. I hold a BA in Counselling and am a registered member of the BACP working towards accreditation.
​
My approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, honouring the connection between mind and body. I create a safe space where clients can explore their feelings, identities, and experiences without fear of judgment. I strive to ensure that all clients feel seen and validated and have a passion for working with those within the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalised communities.
Humans are complex and life is messy. We are not problems to be solved, but mysteries to be discovered. This discovery is a creative process. I work in an integrative way with a person-centred focus
​
My Philosophy
Affirmation: I believe in the power of recognition and validation. I actively work to create an environment where clients can express their true selves, fostering self-acceptance and empowerment.
​
Trauma-Informed Care: Understanding that many clients carry the weight of past traumas, I prioritize safety and trust. I incorporate techniques that help clients navigate their trauma at their own pace.
Embodied Practices: I integrate body-centred approaches into my sessions. I guide clients in reconnecting with their bodies, helping to cultivate awareness and facilitate healing through the mind-body connection.
Compassionate Presence: My approach is characterised by deep empathy and understanding. I listen actively and attentively, offering support that acknowledges the complexity of each client’s journey. As James Finley says, “When you risk sharing what hurts the most in the presence of someone who will not invade or abandon you, you can learn not to invade or abandon yourself.”
​
I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing. I am committed to walking alongside my clients, empowering them to reclaim their narratives and embrace their authentic selves. With a blend of professional expertise and lived experience, I am dedicated to fostering safety, connection, and empowerment in every session.
