Experience and approach:

At all times I will aim to provide a space that is gentle, containing, and without judgement, so that you can feel safe enough to explore at your own pace. You might not know exactly what you want from the therapy, and sometimes getting to know what you want and need is part of the journey. My philosophy is to help you to become more empowered in yourself so that you are more able to find this.

I can help with and have experience of working with

Living with and managing anxiety
Becoming more empowered in yourself, especially in terms of gender identity and sexuality
Aspects of neurodiversity (eg ADHD), and to turn them into assets rather than problems
Racism
Relationships with family, partners and friends
Grief and loss
Living with HIV
Past trauma
