About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I’m a therapist that helps make sense of emotions and experiences so you can move through life with clarity and connection. I work relationally, combining insight, compassion, and curiosity to untangle what’s stuck and support meaningful change.

I have over 30 years of experience across voluntary, statutory, and commercial sectors, including work with those living with and affected by HIV and Aids. My practice is rooted in psychosynthesis and archetypal psychology - an integrative, holistic model that honours mind, body, and soul. It allows me to work dynamically with what’s current, historical, and emerging in your life.

I am queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trained in GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity), committed to continuously evolving through queer and intersectional therapeutic perspective.

Experience and approach:

My work is soulful. By that, I mean honouring the rich complexity of who you are, your history and your experience. Soul is shaped by our lived experience, our culture, our longing, and our resistance. I explore the connection between mind, body, and feelings in a holistic way to support deeper self-awareness, more authentic relationships, and a greater sense of wholeness, both personally and collectively.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that every person is unique, and that uniqueness deserves to be seen and celebrated. Yet, there are times when we may feel disconnected from ourselves, each other, or the shared purpose that brings us together.

I believe therapy isn’t about fixing, it’s about witnessing, evolving, and creating new possibilities. I work with BACP's ethical framework, ensuring a confidential, grounded, and respectful space.

I offer both short-term (6-24 sessions) and long-term (ongoing) sessions.

Sessions are weekly and last 50 minutes. They can be in-person in London, Hastings and St Leonards or online across the UK and abroad.

I offer a free 20 minute introduction call or online meeting.

I offer a sliding scale for therapy sessions ranging from £65 to £110, based on income and affordability. This approach allows therapy to remain accessible based on individual circumstances. A quarter of my practice is reserved for those on lower incomes, and I also partner with two charities to provide therapy to people who might otherwise not have access. Operating a sliding scale isn’t just a pricing structure - it supports an ethical way of working that recognises inclusivity and community.
