About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Hi, I'm Jade (she/her) I am therapeutically trained in humanistic approaches with an emphasis on existential philosophy and how we experience emotions through the body.

Currently, I volunteer as a counsellor for an LGBTQ+ mental health charity. I’m passionate about providing access to therapy for marginalised groups and my community.

I also draw from my background as a musician to collaborate with creatives, supporting you to overcome obstacles to your artistic expression.

Experience and approach:

I am interested in supporting people to explore their authentic selves. Existence is complex, especially if societal structures and expectations impact your experience of who you are. I work in a way which supports and champions gender, sexuality and relationship diversity as well as cultural and social difference. I also approach my work through a trauma informed and anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the impact of systemic barriers on individuals.

We all experience suffering, and at times we need support to get through these challenging moments. You may find yourself grappling with confusing or overwhelming emotions, navigating through past trauma, or feeling unfulfilled and trapped. Whatever you're facing, it's important to remember that you don't have face it alone. I'm here to offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space and invite you to exist as your true self, guiding you as you navigate your relationships with others, yourself, and the world around you.

My aim is to support you to rediscover yourself and find ways to navigate life's challenges with compassion, honesty and acceptance. I look forward to meeting you.
