I have worked as a psychotherapist for 15 years, both for a national mental health charity and in private practice. Having lived in another country for 6 years and practiced throughout, I have worked with clients from many different countries and backgrounds.

I know the impact of systemic oppression and provide a safe, inclusive space for navigating these issues.

I am a Dramatherapist, performance maker and activist who is deeply passionate about empowering others.
