Our concept of relationships, happiness and what we want from life can always be expanding and changing, as we do. Growth unfortunately isn’t always a consistent, easy path. Therapy can help you develop the confidence to realise and embrace the things you need in life, and the fortitude to move towards them.

Thinking about the issues in our lives can be overwhelming, like looking at a big, tangled ball of string. Often the idea of pulling on any of those threads can feel too difficult, or you might just not know where to start. I can provide you with the space, the care and the knowledge to look at these issues individually.

I use an integrative approach, with many techniques from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT and traditional talk therapy. As a person-centred therapist I believe that you are the most knowledgeable person about your own life, but I can help shine a light on some aspects and walk you through different perspectives that might be beneficial. I work with you to find out what works best for you.

I work with people on a short or long term basis. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal and family issues, relationship problems, body image / confidence concerns, substance use issues, struggles with sex, sexuality, identity and many other mental health concerns.

I’m a person-centred counsellor who primarily works with members of LGBTQ+, non-monogamous and kink communities. As a queer therapist, I can help you explore your issues in a safe and non-judgmental place. Having a deeper understanding of the community, allows me to appreciate the struggles (and joys) of queerness.

I am also a member of kink and non-monogamous communities, so I am comfortable discussing these topics with you in a frank and open way. It can be hard talking to mental health professionals about these aspects of life, particularly if you have faced judgement in the past. I can provide you and your partner(s) with the space to discuss your issues openly and honestly, without fear.

My practice is specifically modelled on the needs of my clients. I know how it feels to be in that chair, to show up and be vulnerable every session. I can collaborate with you, wherever you’re at, and help you work out what’s important to you. 

I understand it’s hard to find a therapist who’s the right fit, so if you decide after the first session we’re not suitable, you don’t need to pay for that session.
