MY PRACTICE
Personal change evolves through the unique relationship between client and therapist.
HOW I WORK
Talking to a therapist has a liberating effect. My clients often describe it as freeing to open up, explore their feelings, and deal with problems or their uncertainties in life. In our work together you can expect confidential, professional therapy in a comfortable private setting. My collaborative approach provides warm, non-judgemental support and an opportunity for you to make sense of your individual circumstances, helping you to identify and resolve your issues. The end result is the development of greater self-awareness and being better equipped to cope with the future.
Respecting diversity and difference is crucial to the therapeutic process and a positive outcome. I work with people from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, including individuals from queer, poly and kink communities, sex workers, and people who identify across the gender spectrum. I am a sex-positive, BDSM and Kink aware psychotherapist and am familiar working with a wide range of relationship models and gender dynamics.
PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATIONS
I am a full clinical member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) . I am also a member of the following professional bodies:

QUALIFICATIONS

I have previously worked within the financial services sector and hospitality industries.

Training does not finish when a psychotherapist qualifies. Therapists should always improve their practice and engage in continuing professional development. It is vital to keep knowledge, experience and skills up-to-date.
