Hi there and welcome. I am passionate about working with people who are experiencing emotional difficulties relating to grief, loss, shame, blame or self-criticism, and working on healing the impact of trauma/ PTSD. I take a very holistic approach, so whether you feel grief or pain about the past, fear about the future, or anything in between, I’d love to help. I specialise in working with older adults and the LGBTQ+ community and I’m particularly experienced in working with gender identity, sexuality and wider identity concerns.
I work with individuals, couples and families and use a range of therapeutic models in practice (see below). Together we would work towards understanding how one or more of these approaches might help you. I am passionate about gender affirming healthcare and am a full member of the British Association of Gender Identity Specialists.
I try to keep sessions relaxed but also focused so the work you do is useful long after therapy ends. Therapy should be one of the best investments you ever make in yourself, so I’m happy to offer you a brief informal chat to understand your needs and what you’d like to achieve in therapy and to see if you think we’d be a good fit for each other.

For any issues you bring we will start with an assessment, and decide together what approach might be most useful for you. I will focus on practical strategies to tackle what holds you back from living the life you want in line with what matters most to you. Clients often like to know how many sessions will be needed to help them to plan, so I try and estimate this in our first session.
