I am excited to work with anyone who is curious about themselves and the world. I enjoy facilitating self-understanding and compassion. The environment of our work holds a safe space for people to bring all that they are. I am interested in working with all sorts of clients of any age or background. You might particularly enjoy working with me if you have felt dismissed or disrespected in other spaces, for example as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have space for individuals and couples. Currently have space for couples at a concessionary rate as a Trainee Sex & Relationship Therapist near the end of my training.
I offer a grounding in Gestalt, Person Centred & Pluralistic approaches to therapy. My work is client driven, and I always encourage clients to begin their therapeutic journey with the experience of the here and now. I am a curious and engaged practitioner who is continually learning and considering different ways of working that will support my clients.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process where client(s) and therapist work together in support of client needs and goals. I will always seek to lend my expertise to your particular experience, rather than fitting your situation into my preferred model. My space is sex positive, kink positive and polyamory positive.
