“Of all the forces in the universe, the hardest to overcome is force of habit”—Terry Pratchett. As a queer, non-binary (LGBTQIA+) therapist, I offer a judgement-free and affirming space to unpack hard stuff around relationships, identity, stress/anxiety, and existence at whatever pace works for you. Together, we’ll puzzle out the unique bits that make you who you are and use that understanding to equip you with the tools and support you need to make positive changes in your life. My focus is always around making therapy a safe, low-pressure place where you can be yourself, using an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework.

My goal is to help you gain insight and clarity whilst navigating your mental health recovery, and doing so with care and compassion.

You don't need to be alone in how you're feeling and what you are experiencing. Therapy involves working with emotional pain, and in so doing we must access tremendous courage. It has taken courage for you to be considering counselling, to have spoken to a loved one about your mental health, to be here on this website right now, reading this. Empathy is a hostile environment for shame, and I will meet your courage with compassion and connection.

Many different events will impact our lives, most of the time we can deal with them, other times we cannot. A difficult childhood, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness or accident, a toxic work environment, sexuality & gender, unemployment, the current pandemic affecting our world or just being at a new stage of our lives can cause us to feel lost within ourselves and the wider world. This can lead to anxiety or depression, it can affect our self-esteem and disconnect us from everyone around us, leaving us isolated and alone.

Many people struggle to incorporate healthy lifestyles into day to day living.

I offer services to assist you to achieve your goals - by gaining control over your feelings, and building resilience in how you react.

Transgender Counsellors
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognise a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognise a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
