Have you always felt different from others, maybe “too much” and “not enough” at the same time? Are you late-diagnosed or self-identify as Autistic, ADHD or AuDHD? Maybe you struggle with chronic illness such as eczema or Long Covid. I can help you accept yourself and feel more confident, build self-compassion and recognise your needs and boundaries. I will always listen, be compassionate, curious and supportive. I’m LGBTQ+ and non-monogamy affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, body and fat positive. I also offer therapeutic support groups and clinical supervision - please see my website for more details.
I tailor sessions to fit individual clients – maybe you want to explore your past or your current relationships, build coping strategies or try creative techniques to understand yourself better. Many clients find that email sessions suit their schedule or energy levels and allow more time to think. Others prefer our video or phone sessions or mix & match.
If it sounds like we’d be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you. You can find out more on my website and I'm happy to answer any questions about me or the way I work. I offer a free 15-minute discovery phone call and a discounted introductory session (video, phone or email) so you can see if I’m the right counsellor for you.
