Experience and approach:

I am an integrative counsellor (MBACP, PG Dip), working 1-to-1 in person and online. I tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from two main approaches:

Person-centred counselling, which empowers you to grow and heal at your own pace in a compassionate and non-judgemental environment.
Psychodynamic counselling, which helps us understand how past experiences may shape your present life and relationships.
GSRD informed practice - informed by my lived experience within the LGBTQ+ community and the issues and diverse aspects of the people who are part of it
Creative approaches - can be included in the therapeutic process, drawing on my experience as an arts practitioner, educator and facilitator.

For over 20 years, I worked in music and arts education, where I learned the importance of nurturing each person’s uniqueness and creativity. I bring this same ethos into counselling, supporting you in discovering your own path.

I trained as a counsellor at the University of Westminster (a GSRD, Pink Therapy approved course), graduating with a postgraduate diploma with distinction. I work as a volunteer counsellor at an LGBT+ charity in London. I am also one of the founders of the art+therapy collective Queer Spaces.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and follow their ethical framework for the profession.
