I am sensitive to the lived experiences, diversity and complexity of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am sex-positive and aim to create a space that is inclusive, non-judgemental and able to hold different lives and cultures. We will find this space together. My practice is informed by a long interest in yoga (ashtanga vinyasa), meditation (insight/vipassana) and buddhism (mostly zen). I am interested in the spiritual journey and the existential and deeply personal questions this throws up – particularly when this intersects with being queer. I am also interested in how we construct (and sometimes deconstruct) our ‘working selves’.

Hi! I'm a psychotherapist dedicated to helping people to achieve lasting change and growth. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and supportive, providing a space for you to explore and experience whatever has been unmanageable alone. Whether you're feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, dealing with grief or loss, wanting to make positive changes, or discover your strengths, I will work collaboratively with you. I take an integrative approach, and care about every facet of your wellbeing. Nothing is irrelevant, and nothing is too silly or strange to express.

I work with children and young people who are struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, social interaction, or have difficulties maintaining focus. I also work with adults who are experiencing low mood, anxiety, stress and burnout, or going through situational crisis. Art therapy enables individuals to unpack and express their feelings through creativity and interaction with art materials. Benefits of art therapy include improving mood, reducing stress, enabling self-expression, facilitating identity exploration, increasing self-esteem and developing self-awareness and insights.

Safe, compassionate and non-pathologising therapy for women 16+. As a woman, you may have experienced trauma or significant emotional distress caused by discrimination, sexual assault, abuse, bullying, domestic violence, social exclusion or hormonal life transitions. Understandably, these traumatic life experiences can have an impact on your social, emotional, physical and psychological wellbeing, particularly within relationships. I believe, given the right environment and opportunities, you can heal from trauma and live a rich and meaningful life.

People often come to psychotherapy because they are burdened by thoughts, behaviours, feelings, or patterns of relating that make their lives difficult and cause them to suffer. In my psychoanalytic practice it is through speaking freely, and being listened to with careful attention, that people can find new possibilities with the difficulties and impasses that have characterised their lives so far. My approach does not impose norms of relating, functioning or being but meets each person, one by one, in their unique experience of living and in the context of their history and circumstances.

I believe that every person is worth being seen, heard, and known, even in all of our baggage. In our most vulnerable moments, having a safe and non-judgmental place to not only talk about our issues, but to tune into and experience them, is really important. I am interested in getting to understand not only your story, but how that story impacts your life in the here and now. I enjoy journeying alongside people from difference cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, and in experiences such as anxiety or depression, life transition, stress, struggles with boundaries, burnout, trauma, and spiritual and religious issues.

Once you know exactly ‘what’ to do you will quickly regain control, find your feet, and move forward. I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless, and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"

Hello, I offer inclusive counselling for young people, adults, couples and families who are dealing with complex transitions, relationship challenges and identity changes, or struggling with loss, grief and unresolved trauma. With professional and lived experience among a range of diverse communities, I understand that adjusting to these events can be complicated, and even more distressing without the right kind of emotional support. It can lead us to question our journey and undermine our ability to move forward in our lives. Together we can explore whatever is happening for you in a culturally safe and trauma-informed way.
