About the Therapist

About the therapist:

My practice offers a non-judgmental and supportive space for everyone, where all lifestyles, identities, and orientations are affirmed and embraced.

Mental Health Support

Supporting you to navigate life's challenges with compassionate, personalised therapy tailored to your unique journey.

Shame and Self Acceptance

No matter what you're feeling shame about—your sexuality, gender identity, or any aspect of your life—This is a place where you'll find acceptance and understanding, where we can work together towards embracing your true self.

Sexual Identity

Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, into kink, ace or anywhere else on the spectrum, together, we'll explore your identity, overcoming any barriers that stand in the way.

Relationships

Whether it's communication, setting boundaries, or navigating an ethical, non-monogamous relationship, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs.

Managing Compulsive Behaviours

If certain behaviours feel out of control, let's talk about it. We'll identify triggers and explore strategies to manage these compulsions while focusing on empowerment and understanding.

LGBTQIA+ Support

If you're looking for support with any aspect of being LGBTQIA+, I offer a safe, supportive, and affirming space for you to explore, grow, and heal.

Kink and Fetish Support

Exploring your kink and fetish interests is a journey I respect deeply. Here, you'll find a safe space free from judgment, where we can navigate any challenges together, ensuring your desires align with the life you wish to live.

Sex Worker Support

I understand and respect the diverse experiences of those engaged in sex work and erotic labour, spanning various fields, including escorting, professional BDSM, webcam/phone sex, OnlyFans/JustForFans/Fansly and other content creation, studio work, and stripping. In recognising the broad spectrum of experiences - from positive and empowering to challenging and complex - I offer a non-judgemental, supportive environment tailored to your unique needs.

Confidence Building

Struggling with self-esteem can be significant. In our sessions, we'll build your confidence from the ground up, focusing on a holistic approach to help you navigate life's challenges with a stronger sense of self.

Experience and approach:

My practice is integrative and responsive to your unique experiences and needs. My approach draws from various models and is rooted in the belief that sexuality and relationship dynamics are central to everyone's identity, shaping our interactions with the world and ourselves.

As a GSRD (Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversities) therapist, I've witnessed the profound transformations that therapy can bring. It's not just a profession for me—it's a passion to help everyone live authentically. The therapy journey is a collaborative one, filled with self-discovery, understanding, and personal growth.

It is an incredible privilege to embark on this journey with you as you shape a life that's truly fulfilling and authentic. Together, we'll navigate the vast landscape of your identity and relationships, finding joy and strength in every step we take towards building the life you've always dreamed of.
