As a queer therapist I understand the challenges LGBTQIA+ clients face in this world and hope that in our work you feel safe to explore whatever is coming up for you. I am a warm and empathic person with wide experience in supporting people with their emotional journey, looking to guide them toward a greater understanding of the issues faced in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My way of working is both authentic and kind, encouraging people to speak freely with a good sense of humour for those lighter moments.  I use a range of integrative and creative techniques to

Welcome – I am Senior Accredited Trauma Informed Counsellor/Therapist and  EMDR Europe Practitioner.   I have 15 years experience of offering affirming therapy to the individuals and couples from the LGBTQIA+ community and look forward to supporting you. What I hope to offer you is an approach which I want to be warm and refreshing and can really get to the heart of your issues.

CURRENTLY NOT TAKING ON NEW CLIENTS I am a qualified counsellor, counselling supervisor and trainer with significant knowledge and experience in working with people exploring their gender identity, sexual orientation and/or relationship style. I am located in Gloucestershire, and work face to face from a easily accessible, safe location in between Cheltenham and Gloucester, and I am also happy to work online.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor and Accredited/Registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and Prof/Accred member of NCS (National Counselling Society).

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and CBT Counsellor with training in Transpersonal Psychology and Therapeutic Group Facilitation. I am currently working towards a qualification in Psychedelics Assisted Psychotherapy. I believe we can heal from trauma. We have an innate healing intelligence, but things can get in the way of getting in touch with. I view therapy as a supportive, collaborative, creative process that creates the right environment for that innate healing intelligence to bring about emotional healing. In the therapy process you can rediscover inner resources and strengths, overcome depression and resolve anxiety. I practise in: Bloomsbury – 29 Museum

As an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor I have worked in a variety of settings, including the charity sector, providing a confidential, non-judgmental space for clients to discuss the difficulties that arise in their lives.

**For the moment I am not able to take on new clients.** In my practice I aim to listen without judgement, and help each client follow their own journey. This is often about trying to make sense of the client’s past history and present experience. So whatever you bring, I will be happy to listen and then work with you to understand where you’re at and where you want to go from here.

Whether you’re anxious, stuck, unable to live to your fullest potential, having difficulty in your relationships with others or with yourself, each of us has a unique story that requires an equally unique approach with a qualified, sensitive therapist. I’m an experienced BACP-accredited queer non-binary relational integrative psychotherapist and edited Queering Psychotherapy (Karnac, 2022). Grounded in intersectional practice and working with LGBTQIA+ clients since 2014 in a gentle and invitational way, it’s my hope – wherever you are in your therapy journey – that you’ll leave feeling you understand and accept yourself better, and more connected to your agency.
