About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I believe there is no 'one size fits all' for working with anyone questioning themselves or from within the LGBTQ+ community, but I do have over thirty years of experience working one-to-one with a diverse range of people whose identities fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella - many of my client testimonials come from our community, and I'd invite you to look at my website for more information, and get in touch.

My written work on gender within intersectionality has been published by the Journal of Psychodynamic Practice and is now taught on the University of London's Masters syllabus as a core text for trainee therapists.

I also understand the reluctance many people feel when approaching therapy for the first time. It’s easy to see it as a weakness, but in reality it takes considerable strength to challenge stigma, take a risk on someone else, and begin the work.

Experience and approach:

I am trained in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic modalities, completing my MSc while working in a demanding emergency services role.

Weekly Sessions are offered at 50 minutes for £90–£130 depending on time of day, location, and individual circumstances.

I offer a free twenty minute introductory consultation via video or telephone. I occasionally have availability for concessions for people on low income.My practice is one-to-one work for adults and young adults, in person or online. More or less frequent sessions and other arrangements can be discussed in the initial consultation. I have experience in both short or fixed term, goal focused work, and more expansive long-term and open-ended work - whichever would be best for you in your circumstances can be thought about together.
