Do you need some support? Do you want to collaborate with a therapist, rather than feeling that they're the expert? I’m currently taking on clients from all backgrounds, and I specialise in working with queer and trans youth and adults. I am neurodiversity affirming, and have experience working with autistic and ADHD clients with low to medium support needs. Whatever your identity or background, I will tailor my therapeutic approach to suit you and your needs at this time.

I am a BACP Registered Integrative Counsellor and mainly practice Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP is an emotion-focused, trauma-informed and attachment-based approach with very positive research outcomes. Some people begin therapy clear about what they want help with, others need some assistance in understanding their difficulty. I provide a safe space for clients to better understand their behaviour and experiences by making links between the present difficulty and the past. We also work together in the session to help you explore new ways of relating to yourself and your problem.

Counselling is a place to explore our thoughts, feelings and emotions. A chance to explore our life direction. An opportunity to pause and understand where we are and what is happening in our lives right now. It is a place to explore past and present events or traumas and a space to speak out loud thoughts that had previously been unspeakable.

Warm welcome. I'm a EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, BACP Accred. Counsellor and Supervisor.

What does it feel like to take off masks, shedding protective layers that keep the authentic, vulnerable self safe while navigating through challenging or traumatic times? Together we can explore what you feel ready and safe to share - whether these are current, buried or almost forgotten experiences.

I offer a safe and supportive space for us to explore whatever feels important to you, whether that is feelings, thoughts, or life experiences. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we explore whatever arises in a non-judgemental, compassionate way. When we work with and process the unfolding experiences in this way, we gain more clarity on patterns and behaviours, and can begin to release trauma or stuckness. This brings an inner freedom and autonomy that allows us to be more ourselves and to live our lives more fully.

For the past 18 years I have specialised in trauma and addiction, working with people within community-based organisations, schools, criminal justice systems, the NHS and Private Practice. I have a particular interest in how people make sense of their experiences. A particular lens through which this is viewed is narrative. This aims to be a respectful and non-blaming practice in which there is a collaboration to find the most satisfying story to live a preferred life. A pace for this work will be negotiated and agreed at the start and reviewed in each session or, when required.
