About the Therapist
Many LGBTQ+ people grow up feeling that parts of who they are aren't acceptable. Even years later, that can leave us wondering whether we're really good enough, hiding parts of ourselves, struggling in relationships, feeingl uncomfortable in our own skin, or looking for ways to escape painful feelings.
I'm a queer therapist based in East London, working with LGBTQ+ people and men experiencing addiction, chemsex, shame, low self-worth, anxiety, codependency, and relationship difficulties.
Alongside my professional training and experience, I also bring lived experience of recovery, queer identity, neurodiversity (ASD), and navigating aspects of stigma and marginalisation within LGBTQ+ communities. I understand how difficult it can be to speak openly about the parts of ourselves we've learnt to hide, and I aim to offer a space where those parts can be explored with curiosity, compassion, and without judgement.
Outside of therapy, I'm a knitter, yarn dyer and vintage doll enthusiast. Having spent 13 years living in San Francisco, I've developed a deep appreciation for the diversity and resilience of LGBTQ+ communities and the many different ways we find our way home to ourselves.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel safe enough to be seen as we truly are, without judgement, shame, or the need to hide parts of ourselves.
And that meaningful change happens through authentic human connection; that the therapeutic relationship itself can become a powerful vehicle for healing.
I work with warmth, curiosity, and compassion, while also offering gentle challenge where it may be helpful.
I provide a trans- and non-binary-affirming, sex-positive space where clients don't need to edit parts of themselves or feel judged for their identities, neurodiversity, relationships, or sexual interests, including kink and consensual non-monogamy.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ people and men struggling with addiction, shame, self-esteem, anxiety, codependency, relationship difficulties, and the impact of childhood trauma. Before moving into private practice, I worked in a 12-step drug and alcohol rehabilitation service and within substance misuse services in two London men's prisons.
