About me and my therapy practice
Safe – confidential, a place of warmth and acceptance.
Human – connection with a real person.
Empowering – supporting you to make changes in your life
Informed – about working with LGBTQ+ people and alternative relationship styles
I’ve been working as a counsellor in private practice since 2016.
I am queer, non-binary and autistic. I try to be aware of my privilege and how this might affect our counselling relationship.
I love being in nature, dancing, and hanging out at my allotment.
Finding a counsellor I could trust and feel understood by has helped me to navigate stressful and traumatic life events, build self-acceptance and connect with who I really am (which is an ongoing project!).
I'm passionate about counselling and what I have to offer. If this sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
Practice description
I’m a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø accredited person centred counsellor. I’m qualified with a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology. I welcome and am experienced in working with clients from all kinds of backgrounds.
I’m also qualified in EMDR; a specific technique to work with past trauma.
I'm experienced in working with a range of issues including anxiety, relationships, depression, neurodivergence, kink/bdsm, sexuality, trauma, stress, trans/non-binary issues, low confidence, identity, substance and alcohol use, bereavement, abuse, suicidal thoughts, polyamory/non-monogamy, disability, compulsive behaviour and self harm.
I work with many queer and neurodivergent clients, while also welcoming people from all backgrounds.
My first session
I offer a free initial consultation call of around 20 minutes. This is a chance for us both to get a feel for how it would be to work together. I'll ask about what you're looking for from counselling and you're welcome to ask about me and how I work too.
