As a neurodivergent, queer and gender non-conforming therapist, I am passionate about supporting disenfranchised individuals to find personal empowerment and healing.
My therapy approach is rooted in Gestalt psychology, which emphasises understanding life experiences as a whole rather than breaking them down into individual components. This holistic perspective allows me to support and work with the various aspects of your lived experience, addressing how they interconnect and impact your well-being.

I have significant experience and am passionate about working with individuals within the neurodivergent community and LGBTQIA+ community.
My approach is to offer a non-judgemental space wherein individuals can release what they need to and gain what they feel may be missing. Art therapy can aid with a myriad of things from grief, depression, trauma and life changes. I find it helpful to alter my approach to ensure sessions are tailored to each individual.

You don't need to have suffered an obvious trauma or adversity to be be feeling fearful, despairing or battling with a low sense of self worth.

Having therapy myself has helped me to understand myself, my queer identity and my relationships more deeply.
My passion for therapy comes from seeing people empowered to make changes in their own lives. By offering a non-judgemental space, where my clients can feel accepted and free to explore their thoughts and feelings, I have had the privilege of watching them grow and heal. Therapy can bring comfort when you are going through loss, transition, or turmoil. It can offer the chance to reflect on how you have been shaped by the events of your life or your relationships. Perhaps most importantly, it can give you a new perspective on your future, and help you to change and grow.

My focus is on trans and non-binary identities, and ethical non-monogamy.
I follow a person-centred approach, which means that the client knows best what they need. I offer a safe place for you to explore your issues, whilst receiving support and acceptance, so that you can find your own way to being more authentic. I work one-on-one, both face-to-face and online. I offer as many sessions as you need, providing you with a place to explore your problems safely, without judgement. You can arrive at therapy with a goal, however vague.

I have a degree in Pluralistic Therapy which allows me to work collaboratively with client's, drawing from different modalities to help you get what it is you need. I have worked within community sectors, employee assistance programmes and private work

I provide clinical supervision for therapists and counsellors, in particular therapists working with LGBTQ plus clients, who want extra support with this work.
Choosing a therapist can be a stressful process, and it's difficult to decide which kind of therapy to try. Many people find it helpful to work with a therapist who has trained in more than one therapy, who can switch to a different therapy when needed, and who can tailor sessions according to your needs. You can have a phone consultation with me to discuss what you are looking for and ask questions. 16 years experience in supporting neurodivergent clients (with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other difficulties) led me to further training in autism, and specialised CBT and ACT for ADHD and emotional regulation problems.

I have additional training in EMDR, Trauma Counselling, Therapeutic Coaching, Couples/Family ( LGBT+ affirming) Counselling, Journal therapy, Dream therapy, NLP, Non-Violent Communication.
When you choose to work with me, you will experience me as an invested and dedicated psychotherapist who is committed to supporting you. I don't offer a "one size fits all" approach. Instead, I see you for the unique individual that you are and carefully tailor my approach to fit uniquely with your needs. Although I work with a wide range of therapeutic issues, my main specialism is Neurodivergence.
As neurodivergent individuals, we are constantly navigating a world where all the rules and structures have been established by neurotypicals. This can make everyday life exhausting. I look forward to working with you

I am LGBTQ+ friendly, weight-inclusive & trauma-informed.
Often people I work with have felt judged, shamed, stigmatized & unheard. I'm here to listen, understand and work with you collaboratively. I have lived experience of body image and self-esteem problems in the past. I feel this greatly benefits my practice, having been there myself.
