Many people come to therapy with me carrying something familiar — anxiety, self-doubt, a sense of pressure, or an ongoing unease — even if they’re not sure why it keeps showing up or why it doesn’t seem to shift. Often, people can recognise what’s happening for them, yet feel frustrated that it continues despite their best efforts. In our work together, how you relate to yourself often comes into focus first, alongside patterns such as overthinking, people-pleasing, or holding yourself to high standards, and questions about identity, belonging, and expectations around how life is supposed to look, and why it no longer fits.

Sexual Compulsion Reset (21 Days). If porn, compulsive sex, or relapse cycles are running your life, it’s usually not a “willpower” problem, it’s a nervous system pattern. In 21 days, I help men reduce urge intensity from a 10 to a 3 by targeting the emotional driver underneath the behaviour. We track your urge score (0–10) each week so progress is measurable.

I often work with people who are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or overwhelmed. Many have developed creative ways of coping that once kept them safe, but now feel painful or limiting. For some, this can involve pushing feelings aside, holding parts of themselves back, staying busy or avoiding looking too closely at what feels uncomfortable, leaving them feeling disconnected from themselves or others. A central part of my work is supporting people to navigate opposing truths, as both therapy and life can involve balancing hope and despair, comfort and challenge, fragility and strength, safety and risk, holding on and letting go.

There are many ways people seek help, from addressing a particular event or behaviour to a more general sense that things are not right. I provide an open and confidential space to express whatever is on your mind. My practice covers mental health (such as depression, shame and anxiety), sexuality and relationships, neurodiversity, addiction, loss, change and more. In the messy reality of life, I find these issues usually overlap. We'll start wherever you are and work towards where you would like to be.

I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, working in both private practice and academia. When offering therapy, I strive to be non-judgmental, compassionate and warm. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where both you and I come together to mutually agree on your goals for therapy. I take special care to be aware of the intersections in our identities such as gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, neurodivergence and ability levels. I also value being receptive to your needs and aim to help you navigate any difficulties you are experiencing and come out the other side.

I specialise in working with professional women and LGBTQ+ clients(looking at systemic/legacy oppressions), as well as people who feel drawn to an embodied, relational and depth-oriented approach. Many of the people I work with are living with the impact of trauma, complex trauma, or long-standing emotional patterns. I have particular experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse and sexual violence, alongside clients navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family and relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, identity-related distress, shame, chronic stress and dissociation.

Right now you may feel desperate, lost, empty, stressed, anxious or fed up. Whatever difficulty has prompted you to seek Counselling does not define who are you are and the journey you want to take in life. Together we will explore your feelings of being stuck, alone or in darkness as you strengthen your own resources to create greater wellbeing, resilience and satisfaction. 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.

I believe that we tend to access therapy when it’s no longer possible for us to travel alone on our journey, hidden from ourselves and others, stuck in familiar and/or unfamiliar patterns that can no longer contain us, and when the way in which we are relating (or not relating) to ourselves, others and the world around us, is no longer making us feel fully alive. Something tells us it's time to look inwards. Looking inwards can feel daunting but it is necessary in order to instigate meaningful and lasting changes ( both external and internal ).

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.
