However, I also have experience working with national charities such as Mind, Place2Be and those supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
My approach is rooted in warmth, empathy and compassion. Whether you are wanting a space to voice challenges in the 'here and now', consider how your past may be impacting your present, or desire more of a targeted focus on making change in a specific area, we can explore your needs together and ensure you always feel that we are working in a way, and at a pace, that is right for you. Creating a safe therapeutic environment where you feel able to connect to your emotions, be fully heard, and feel empowered is my absolute priority.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and gender, sexuality and relationship diversity informed and supportive.
We are all influenced by the people in our lives and the experiences we have had both past and present, all of which serve to shape and define us. Sometimes we need help in understanding how the culmination of these factors can get in the way of being able to live life fully and with ease. Maybe you're looking for relief from the pain of anxiety or depression. You could be struggling with life changes or loss. You may want a better relationship with yourself and/or those closest to you. I offer a non-judgemental space in which I can help you to explore your feelings, beliefs and patterns of behaviour.

This has included complex PTSD, abuse, OCD, Social Anxiety, Depression & low self-esteem as well as working with chronic illness and ASD issues and LGBTQ+ to name a few.
I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy and draw on a rage of therapeutic approaches tailor made for each individual. This includes Acceptance & Commitment approaches, DB therapy and Psychodynamic approaches that can compliment CBT therapy. I usually have a small case load so I can focus more on my clients.

I am experienced in working with issues of self-esteem, depression, anxiety, PTSD, infidelity, communication, domestic violence, LGBTQ+, gender issues and suicidal thoughts.
Being stuck in a pattern of relating to the self or others that is not serving us any longer is a common human experience. My approach is integrative mainly psychodynamic, meaning I work with a person's defences and resistance in a gentle but challenging way, examining early childhood experiences and relationships. I create a safe non-judgemental space for frank, open and intimate discussions about your issues and struggles.

I have extensive experience working with Black and Asian clients, as well as with those identifying as LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodiverse.
My therapeutic style is considered integrative, but is closest to person-centred. This means our sessions may look conversational rather than clinical, and I will provide an environment that feels safe, non-judgemental and open to dialogue. Therapy may be challenging at times, and I aim to make those challenges manageable.

I am LGBT+ friendly, neurodivergent-affirming and believe that often it is society, not individuals, which needs to change.
Sometimes life can be overwhelming. We get anxious or depressed, struggle with low self-esteem or find ourselves repeating the same self-defeating patterns in our relationships. Therapy can help. Whether you're seeking relief from a specific problem or struggling with the vague sense that something in your life just isn't right, I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work through these issues. I have a professional and specialist interest in working with attachment issues, complex trauma, and chronic health conditions often neglected by the healthcare system, such as ME/CFS.
