Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ

I practice as an integrative therapist. Integrative therapy draws from and incorporates different kinds of therapy such as psychodynamic, humanistic and relational therapy. I see real value in the integrative model as I feel that it allows the sessions to adapt and grow around you. It is you, after all, that is the priority of these sessions. Your gender, race, culture, sexuality, class, disability and religion/spirituality all integrate into who you are, and all has importance in the therapy room. My approach can be boiled down to a central core issue of how we relate: how we relate to ourselves, to others, to our past experiences and to our ever evolving sense of self. I see our therapeutic relationship as a place where you can explore, question and even make changes to what felt like a fixed way of relating. You may be feeling stuck and lost in yourself, yet not be able to pinpoint what is wrong. You may be feeling anxious, in a low mood, or have lost your direction. Individual open-ended therapy can offer a supporting, non-judgemental, professional relationship to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours to gain a clearer understanding of what you are struggling with and what you need. The therapy space can be a place for you to say the unsayable, to be free to explore what has otherwise felt out of bounds.

I am qualified as an Integrative Counsellor (pgDip) and a registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ). I trained at the Minster Centre in London.

I have recently been conducting research in the intersection of kink and psychotherapy, delving into the experiences of exploring kink in the therapy room.

Queer Affirmative therapy

I am queer affirmative, so my position is that your sexuality and gender identity is as unique as you are and is something to be cherished. Struggles around our identity and desires can be challenging and painful and the world can unfortunately be an isolating and shaming environment to be a part of. As a result of growing up in these sometimes hostile surroundings, a range of difficulties can develop later in life such as: difficulties in relating and forming nourishing relationships, feeling isolated and not belonging, feeling shame around aspects of yourself, or a reliance on alcohol and drugs to just be with yourself and others.

Kink-aware therapy

The world of kink and bdsm has often been pathologised in more traditional forms of therapy. I believe that taking the default stance of viewing kinks or fetishes as a signal of something that has gone wrong is not only obsolete, but incorrect, damaging and shaming. The kink world is not without its complexities and risks, but your desires and journey with kink give an insight into who you are as a person, maybe even who you want to be. Our sessions can be a place where you can openly explore and be curious about your kink identity, or simply be safe in the knowledge that this aspect of you will not be pathologised or unnecessarily focused on.

Relationship diversity

My practice is poly-aware and sex-positive. Therapy has typically focussed on the dual relationship, rather than other relationship constellations. An example of this is therapy itself, a focus on the client-therapist 2 person relationship. I am a poly-aware therapist, familiar with the spectrum of non-monogamous relationships. Sex positivity holds strong the knowledge that your sexual desires and ways of having (or wanting to have) sex can be a joyous exploration and way of growth.

Session rate: £70

Sessions are 50 minutes long. When you contact me, we will find time for an initial assessment. This assessment is time for us to get to know each other, and to explore what is bringing you to therapy. It is also an opportunity for you to see if I am the right fit for you.

The cost of the assessment is £70. After the assessment, we will find a weekly time slot that works for you.
