With almost a decade's experience as a counsellor and 5 years supporting my clients online and by phone, I can help you find ways through relationship struggles, empower your LGBTQIA+ journey and support high achievers to find peace. I offer a free 20 mins consultation so we can connect and see if I'm the right fit for you.
PERSON-CENTRED THERAPY
Expect therapy rooted in humanity, connection, and acceptance. My aim is to create a safe and supportive remote therapeutic space for you where all parts of you are welcome. I’ll be compassionate, engaged, and alongside you as we navigate your challenges at your pace, finding ways forward that work for you. Clients often describe my gentle, person-centred approach as supportive, grounded, powerful and often life-changing.
Alongside traditional talking therapy, if you wish to, we can use creative methods (e.g. digital sand tray, therapeutic cards, doodling and creative writing), breathing and grounding techniques and consider helpful models and concepts.
OUR SESSIONS WILL HELP YOU TO:
> Find relief from anxiety, stress, and shame, while working through what's holding you back from the past and within the present.
> Gain clarity and balance, deepen self-understanding, live more authentically, and rediscover hope for the future.
> Build healthier relationships with yourself and others, boosting confidence, self-compassion, and resilience.
AS A HUMAN
> I am LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse and passionate about equal human rights.
> I have worked professionally within musical theatre, corporate, advertising and University environments.
> I love being in nature and I am working on becoming a better gardener!
> I am a proud parent of an energetic goldendoodle puppy.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING FOR RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES
When relationships go well, they can lift us up, bringing excitement and connection. In reality, when things aren't going well, they can cause stress, disrupt our daily lives, and be painful. I offer a safe space to understand your relationship challenges, heal old wounds, and learn how to cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

COUNSELLING FOR LGBTQIA+ FOLK
As LGBTQIA+ folk we can get all too used to being misunderstood, judged, invalidated and even erased. You don't want that to happen in your therapy. Whether you're newly discovering your identity or have been out for some time facing ongoing challenges, as a gay and queer counsellor, I will offer you a safe space where you don't need to educate me and will be celebrated for being your unapologetic authentic self.

HIGH ACHIEVERS FEELING OVERWHELMED
You have achieved a lot in your career but struggle behind closed doors. The stress of keeping up, pleasing others or striving for perfection feels overwhelming. This perhaps causes your true desires to get lost under high standards and a harsh inner critic, and also impacts your wider life and relationships. I offer a space to find balance and equilibrium, challenge perfectionism and people pleasing, re-connect with your true self and build self-esteem.
