Accepting new clients as space permits for weekday morning/afternoon appointments | Areas of specialty include low self-esteem, family of origin issues, childhood relational trauma, ADHD, difficulties with assertiveness, and exploration of sexual orientation and gender identity. I work frequently with individuals who identify with the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. My therapeutic approach is integrative, fundamentally humanistic, and tailored to the needs of each individual.

I offer a consistent, supportive, sensitively empowering relational space in which you can come to meet yourself with renewed curiosity, navigate an on-going difficulty, recover from traumatic wounds, (un)learn patterns of relating and expand your repertoire for connecting. Through straightforward, warm and expansive conversations you can increase your capacity to outline and strengthen the contours of your sense of self (clearer boundaries, needs, wants, wounds and pleasures) and develop a readiness to articulate these confidently when needed while retaining your ability to be surprised, to remain open.

I am a highly qualified, experienced and compassionate sex & relationship psychotherapist, who has worked for over 18 years therapeutically with clients from all around the world. I combine a robust theoretical training with warmth, kindness and insight and I work with both individuals and relationships. I am trained to work with full spectrum of gender, sex and relationship diversity.

No judgements here. Just warmth, understanding and practical support with the next steps. As well as offering person-centred counselling I also run retreats teaching mindfulness, nature connection, yoga and small group

My approach is a combination of trauma-informed parts work and creative exercises. I also believe that our struggles and beliefs often rest against a cultural, societal or religious backdrop and I often explore these aspects with clients.   I believe a lot of healing can happen through creative expression and shining a light on the narratives that currently drive us.        Exploring the parts of yourself that have been buried under layers of trauma or conditioning is never an easy journey to undertake alone. I would be honoured to accompany you on excursions into the unknown, the dark,

I offer a more directive, therapeutic approach that allows you to greater understand yourself, as well as question and appreciate your triggers and their origins.  I have found that taking this approach allows individuals to make progress much quicker, as well as develop a deeper understanding of self.

My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves. Together we can focus on the goals they have set and, as the relationship develops, untie the knots that are holding them back from reaching their objectives. In my personal experience as a

I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and take an active political stance against prejudice and discrimination in my therapeutic approach. I have over 20 years experience of working with LGBTQ+ communities within mental health and higher education settings.
