About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I have always been interested in exploring our existence and finding meaning in what we do, how we live, love and the choices we make. In the work that I do I help others navigate their own unique paths of meaning and existence. I am passionate about how we find our agency and capacity to choose, and within that, find the interplay between freedom and responsibility.

Experience and approach:

I am interested in supporting people to explore their authentic selves. Existence is complex, especially if societal structures and expectations impact your experience of who you are. I work in a way which supports and champions gender, sexuality and relationship diversity as well as cultural and social difference. I also approach my work through a trauma informed and anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the impact of systemic barriers on individuals.

I have over 8 years of experience working in specialist support for neurodiverse people.

I also work transpersonally which questions our sense of separateness, inviting us to explore a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us.

When I work, I tend to involve the whole of your body. This somatic work can help us to explore deeper felt senses of your experiences which can otherwise be clouded by judgements in the mind. Sometimes when we tell ourselves that we "shouldn't" be feeling a certain way, or try to minimise an emotional experience, it can be helpful to check in with sensations in the body to find a truer and less murky experience and to validate and allow that experience to be felt.

My specialist areas are:

Spirituality and Non Dual Experiences

Existential Crisis

Neurodiversity

LGBTQ+, sex and relationship diversity
