I offer affirming therapy for those seeking space to unravel difficult experiences and re-discover themselves - whether you're struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, feeling hopeless, depressed, lost, angry or something that feels difficult verbalise.
My approach is collaborative, creative and inquisitive. However things look right now, I will meet you where you are. No need to edit your story or leave parts of yourself at the door. If you've had prior experience of mental health services - I'll help you process the highs and lows of these and work alongside you to co-create a space where you feel heard, held and supported.
I work pluralistically, drawing from different approaches depending on what you need from the space. Your preferences and ideas will be central to our work - I firmly believe that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and the process of discovering what works best for you can be empowering in itself. See my website for an in depth explanation.
I strive to be affirming of LGBTQIA+, ENM and kink identities as well as Neurodivergent, Disabled and Globary Majority experiences. I have supported people with a range of mental health difficulties and take a non-pathologising approach which centres choice and autonomy.
