I’m an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor, practicing since 2011 and working in private practice intermittently since 2017. My experience spans both individual and group work, with a particular focus on trauma, identity, and relational healing.
Most recently, I worked for a young people’s charity in Croydon, offering counselling to LGBTQIA+ youth navigating complex emotional and social challenges. Prior to this, I supported women affected by relational abuse—providing one-to-one therapy, facilitating groups, and delivering training and consultation to social services on the dynamics of abuse and survivor support.
I began my training at the Mary Ward Centre in London in 2010, and went on to complete a BSc in Integrative Counselling at Roehampton University. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my practice through a wide range of CPD, including training in:
- Brainspotting and Rewind therapies for trauma
- Domestic abuse and safeguarding (adults and children)
- Working with self-harm, suicidal feelings, and sexual trauma
- Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing for addiction
- A Diploma in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
I also bring lived experience and ongoing study to my work, having read extensively on gender and sexuality, complex PTSD, self-compassion, attachment theory, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic growth.
Alongside my therapeutic work, I’m a writer of fiction. While not directly part of my practice, writing nurtures my intuition, creativity, and sense of play. As an introvert, it offers a counterbalance to the relational depth of therapy—each enriching the other in unexpected ways.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I welcome people of all identities to my practice. I’m accredited by the UPCA and a registered member of the UKCP, and I abide by their ethical guidelines to ensure safe, inclusive, and professional care.
