My website

I offer one-to-one therapy for adults, creating a space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard. My approach is warm, down-to-earth and led by you. I believe that feeling safe, understood and accepted is what allows real change to happen, so building a genuine, trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I am committed to offering an inclusive, welcoming space. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I understand how identity and life experience can shape how we move through the world, and I aim to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

Our work together is flexible and shaped around your needs. In our first session, we’ll talk about what you’re looking for and agree how we want to work together, including how we check in on progress.

You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan when you come to therapy. We can go at your pace, exploring whatever feels important to you. I will stay actively alongside you proactively and making sense with you of how you journey has shaped you, gently challenging where it feels helpful.
