Sometimes life can feel like it's unravelling-after a bereavement or an ending, when anxiety takes over or when a relationship leaves you feeling stuck, unseen, not heard, confused or alone. You may be struggling with grief, depression, stress or a sense of disconnection, unsure where to turn. Clients often come to me when they feel exhausted at trying to hold it all together - I can offer you a confidential space that is warm, compassionate, collaborative, honest and respectful, giving you time to 'breathe' and make sense of your World moving towards a future that feels more, positive, hopeful and meaningful.

Therapy is a journey of getting to know yourself better; the positive parts, the challenging parts, and the parts you may want to let go. However, the journey can be lonely and we often find ourselves walking into the same dark alleyways time and time again. That’s where a strong therapeutic partnership can help us understand why we take the same routes, explore what other options we have, and what decisions we want to make next.

Hello and welcome to my profile. It can really take courage to recognise and admit there is something that needs 'dealing' with and then having the task of seeking out a counsellor. I understand that and as part of my counsellor training I had to go through a similar process, finding the right counsellor to complete my course. Who do you normally talk to? What depth do you go to when you talk? Sometimes we don't want to say what is really going on but with me you can. You can really talk to me and I want to be able help. I want to be the person you feel safe enough and trust to talk about whatever it is that concerns you.

I work with people from all walks of life, but most of my work is with trans clients, and I specialise in working with older trans adults on issues around identity, parenting, ageing and childhood trauma.
I offer a lived experience perspective when working with queer, trans and autistic clients. I have been in the client's chair, and I know the value of therapy that is genuinely culturally fluent. My work is often creative, visual and quirky - a bit 'off beat', reflecting my desire to approach things differently for my clients.

My ideal client is able to reflect on their emotions and what's happened to them in their lives and relationships. They have the time and space to give to this. They have some motivation to change and can take some responsibility for the work we do together. We would work together to explore what they need and identify personal goals, this may change over the course of therapy.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
