About Me

​

With nearly a decade of clinical experience, I have worked across a diverse range of settings, including the arts, the probation service, and the charity sector. Currently, I am an addictions counsellor and group facilitator for The Forward Trust, where I lead therapeutic recovery workshops and provide addictions support.

​

My diverse professional professional background has taught me that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful force for healing. Therapy is about two human beings meeting face-to-face, rather than hiding behind clinical distance; my goal is to ensure you feel truly heard, listened to, and met as an individual.

 

While I draw on my own background as a queer, neurodivergent person from an immigrant background simply to show up as a real human being, I never make assumptions about who you are—our work is entirely about your unique story.

 

Because no two people experience the world in the exact same way, my approach is integrative and Humanistic. Rather than putting you in a box, or using a one-size-fits-all method, I draw on a flexible mix of therapeutic tools tailored entirely to the unique person sitting in front of me.

​

While I work with a broad range of experiences, my core specialisms include:

​​

Bereavement & Loss: When the world expects you to "move on," I provide the space to stay with the loss. Together, we’ll untangle the complex emotions—guilt, anger, or numbness—that often follow a death, helping you find a way find a way forward that honours who and what you’ve lost.

 

Addiction: We look beyond the behaviour to the person underneath, developing practical tools to manage triggers while healing the core shame that keeps the cycle spinning.

 

LGBTQ+-affirmative psychotherapy: You won’t have to explain the basics of your identity or "translate" your life to me. As a proud member of the community, I offer a space where your lived experience  is met with deep professional insight and genuine, first-hand understanding.

 

As a Registered Member of the BACP, I abide by their ethical framework and attend regular clinical supervision. Through refreshing my skills with CPD and training, I ensure that I’m giving you the best support possible. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
