The world feels really heavy right now. War, climate crisis, the rise of the far right, skyrocketing bills. And then there's your own personal struggles that you're trying to weather. If you're depressed, burnt out, or feeling overwhelmed, I offer a space to bring all of that - openly - without judgement. I am experienced in counselling LGBTQ+, neurodivergent (inc. autistic, BPD & ADHD) and chronically ill clients. I take a person-centred approach, not seeing you as broken or in need of fixing, but rather supporting you to make sense of what you're going through, and helping you figure out a way forward that really works for you.
I offer weekly or fortnightly therapy online using Zoom. Sessions can take place through live chat, voice call or video call: whichever feels most comfortable that day. You can have a regular slot for consistency or we can book in on a session-by-session basis. Choose between 30m and 1h sessions. I work Monday - Friday, 9:30am - 4pm. Sliding scale fees.
Sessions are a space for you to bring whatever feels most important to talk through in that moment. Some clients want to explore past experiences, some focus on current struggles. I empower you to direct our focus and go at your own pace, so you only ever open up in a way that feels safe. I am sex worker allied, kink aware, and poly affirming.
