About the Therapist
I am a fully qualified, BACP-registered person-centred therapist.Prior to my counselling training, I worked in various care sectors including nursing home, NHS maternity wards, clinic for substance and alcohol misuse and hostel for people who have become homeless.I have worked with people who have come to therapy to explore their experiences of sexuality, depression, anxiety, bereavement, disability, stress, eating disorders, diversity, homelessness, substance and alcohol misuse, trauma, suicidality, intersectionality, family and relationship difficulties, self-esteem, managing anger, neurodiversity, self-harm, cultural and identity issues.
Whilst I do not identify as queer, I have worked with queer and neurodiverse people and I recognise that people have different needs and I am here to show my understanding and acceptance as we work together, alongside providing therapeutic interventions from a humanistic approach that suit your process.

I work with clients from the person-centred model. Your process means how you relate to and express your feelings, thoughts and experiences.
This means I see you as the expert on yourself. You have your own wishes, goals, preferences, desires and our work will be grounded in who you are as a person.
My role is to offer a safe and professional relationship in which you feel heard and accepted for who you are. In a space that offers you empathic understanding, you are well supported in continuing your healing and growth process.
We could also look at the power dynamics within the therapeutic relationship and what that means to you. Working with the relational in mind, you would build new skills including communication, choosing and maintaining boundaries and connecting to feelings of compassion for yourself and others.
I also work experientially which offers a deeper exploration and processing of your emotions in the present with awareness of where you may experience them in your body and connecting with yourself. A lot of it involves what is going on for you right now and how you feel about it - is your tendency to judge yourself or to seek respite and escape from your feelings? How would you like to approach your emotions and experiences instead?
