My practice is non-judmental, sex-positive and kink-affirming.
I offer a calm, open and non-judgemental environment where I aim for you to feel supported, safe, accepted and heard. I am interested in getting to know you, hearing about your experiences, relationships and the views you hold of yourself and the world around you. We will work collaboratively to identify patterns in your life that may be unhelpful or causing you distress, whilst drawing links to your past to identify how it may be showing itself in the present. I see clients from all backgrounds however I have a keen interest in working with those who are kinky or engage in non-conformative sexual practices and relationships.

As a psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer with over 28years of experience I have been privileged to work with courageous people from all walks of life, cultures and backgrounds. From adults, to children, young people and couples, LGBGTQ+, kink and polyamorous communities . With the help of therapy they have been able to explore what has been troubling them and discover a way forward. I offer an environment that is supportive, warm, confidential and free from judgment. Together we can create a space in which you will be able to explore areas of your life you wish to understand, improve on or make changes to.

This means I combine different approaches to create a therapy experience that is queer and sex positive, kink-affirming and practiced with an open mindset.
Hello! I am based online and in South and East London - I provide LGBTQ+ therapy and counselling for those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, questioning, polyamorous, kink, ace etc. I offer short or long term individual therapy for adults and my work is queer positive, sex affirming, collaborative and fluid. I work primarily with individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, however, this is not exclusively. My approach to therapy is fundamentally and ethically built upon anti oppression, reflexivity, safety and trust. Therapy involves change, not conversion.

I provide counselling and coaching to women and people who often find themselves outside of the mainstream - LGBTQ+ people, people who have multiple relationships, practice kink or do sex work. I also offer a space for people who sometimes struggle to connect with their emotions and find they need to think and talk their way into their feelings. No one seeking therapy is broken or in need of fixing. There are always meaningful explanations for the ways you behave or how you feel, but when those aren’t obvious to you, you might find yourself struggling, questioning yourself and wondering if something is wrong with you.

Being neurodivergent myself, I've been drawn to work with autism, ADHD and other neurotypes, as well as the gender, sexuality, kink, and relationship diversity (polyamory/non-monogamy) community, including sex workers.
I believe that every person has the inner wisdom and potential to create a fulfilling life for themselves. However, at some point, most of us will find that we need external perspective and a space to explore issues that might make us feel stuck or hopeless. To me, counselling is a collaborative and creative relational process, and my role in it is helping people find their own personal power and joy, no matter their personal circumstances. I'm an energetic practitioner who will laugh and get excited with you, but I will also always respect your rhythm and create space for grief, pain and stuckness, for as long as it is needed.
