I work with LGBTIQ+ clients, including trans and non-binary people, people with traumatic histories, including sexual assault and abuse, people with dissociative disorders, including DID, people with ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse brains, activists and other people struggling with burn out. My client says 'I came to you thinking that i needed to be fixed, that i just needed to work harder on myself so that all of my problems could be solved and then i could start 'living my real life.' I'm starting to learn that maybe it's ok that i don't always have my sht together. I’m human and that’s ok."
I’m gender non-conforming, neurodiverse and I successfully work with my own trauma. I work with clients everyday on self-acceptance and practical solutions to difficult emotional problems. My client says "I’m am so much more relaxed since working with you. Thank you for helping me laugh and for having safety at the front of everything."
The world can be a difficult place to live in, and we all need help sometimes.  As my client says "The hour is like a re-charge. I have not felt we are ever stuck and I feel like I could say anything to you and you would be able to handle it. You can be light and have such a lovely joy and you can also be profound, deep thinking and insightful."

I use many different techniques, but the most important one is establishing a trust with you. From there, I may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Mindfulness (even for ADHD brains!); Bibliotherapy (as in I love books); Internal Family Systems (working with parts); Flash technique (a non-invasive trauma reduction method) and Art therapy.
