It can be difficult to take the first step into therapy and open up to someone new. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount and I will provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a calm environment - working with compassion and empathy, I will be with you as you navigate your processes and feel empowered to make positive changes and connect with your authentic self. In our first session, I will invite you to tell me about yourself and what brings you to therapy, as far as you feel comfortable. I will explain how I work and you are very welcome to ask questions at any time.

Finding the right therapist can feel challenging, which is why I offer a free 20 minute consultation, to give us an opportunity talk about what it is that you are looking to gain from counselling and discuss how the process works. Entering counselling can feel like a daunting process but at this very moment you are taking the first steps towards creating the changes you wish to see in your life whether you are looking for help with a specific issue, or for personal growth. Counselling offers you the opportunity to break down walls, un-bottle hidden emotions and make sense of feelings and experiences that are troubling you.

It’s 2a.m. and you’ve woken up again. You’re in pain, frustrated, angry, and feel totally alone. You want to talk with someone who won’t judge you but wonder how you could trust someone enough to do so. None of your friends understand. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loneliness all feel too familiar. I work with people who experience chronic illness (diagnosed and not) and who feel misunderstood and alone. I have a special interest in women’s health (endometriosis, fibroids and PCOS) and the impact of a health system that seems designed to not want to help.

About me… I’m warm, down to earth, and I’ll work alongside you, asking questions, noticing patterns, and helping you connect the dots.

You already know traditional therapy isn’t for you, sitting in a room, analysing the past, and talking in circles. You want something that actually shifts things. A space that helps you break the patterns you can’t seem to shake, stop second-guessing yourself, and get honest about what you really want. My work is direct, compassionate,and unapologetically real. I combine therapeutic depth with a coaching approach that moves you forward, not just talking about problems but creating real change.This is about clearing the noise, facing the truths you’ve avoided, and building the confidence to live in a way that actually feels like you.

No person is the same or brings identical experiences but frequent issues I work with include depression, anxiety, loss & bereavement, trauma, suicidal thoughts, work or school stress and relationship tensions. I work with clients aged 13+ and with Couples.

Perhaps you're a qualified practitioner looking for a clinical supervisor.

I think of spirituality as a pathway to self-development. Specifically, I work with mindfulness and Buddhist psychology to explore your current state of being, in mind, body and spirit.

Bisexual Counsellors
What is bisexual-affirming therapy?
Bisexual-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client’s bisexual identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual’s orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of bisexual people. This support is especially important, as research shows that bisexual individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation compared to other groups. Bisexual-affirming therapy acknowledges that bisexual individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as invalidation, relationship challenges, and minority stress—that require specialised understanding and intervention. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for bisexual partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. While not required, some clients prefer working with bisexual therapists who may bring personal insight to the therapeutic relationship. However, a non-bisexual therapist with strong training and a genuine commitment to affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who understands how identity impacts mental health and can create a space of trust and respect.

What can a bisexual therapist help with?
Bisexual-affirming therapists can provide support across a wide range of concerns relevant to bisexual individuals. Whether through personal or professional experience, they often have specialised knowledge in areas such as the coming out process, navigating stereotypes, and dealing with common stressors. Relationship support is another key area of focus, as bisexual clients may face unique challenge when dating or maintaining relationships across genders. Affirming therapists can also help clients build coping strategies for managing discrimination or stigma. Additionally, many bisexual-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organisations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection. It's important to note that therapists provide can talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.

How do I find a bisexual therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding bisexual-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialise in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. During initial consultations or early sessions, ask potential therapists about their specific training in bisexual-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related concerns. An effective bisexual-affirming therapist will demonstrate genuine understanding of bisexual experiences, including awareness of the unique challenges facing bisexual individuals. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
