COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

I am a BACP Registered Integrative Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Trainee Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and am also a student member of COSRT.

​

My aim is to provide a confidential, empathetic, safe and non-judgemental space that allows us to develop a trusting relationship where life challenges can be explored. My hope is that, by providing this space, you can gain deeper insight into what is impacting you and find ways to heal and move forward. In sessions, I do not tell you what decisions you should make, but I will provide a safe space from which exploration and empowerment can become possible.

​

As an Integrative Psychotherapist and trainee Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, I can incorporate a range of approaches, such as pluralism, psychodynamic, humanistic, transpersonal, solution-focused, existential and intersectional feminist approaches, to meet your needs.

​

I also support individuals and partnerships with a range of concerns around sex, sexuality, gender, intimacy and relationship challenges. This could include sexual functioning concerns such as vaginismus, erectile difficulties, difficulties reaching orgasm, concerns around sexual desire, arousal and confidence, addiction to pornography, sex addiction, Dyspareunia, Vulvodynia, Menopause and compulsive sexual behaviours that may feel difficult to make sense of or change. I can work with people who have experienced sexual abuse, other difficult sexual experiences and gender based violence. We can explore how these experiences may have affected your relationship with your body, sexuality, intimacy or relationships.

​

Some other issues that I have experience working with include anxiety, depression, stress, anger, self-esteem, the inner critic, work issues, loss, trauma, childhood wounds, relationships, domestic abuse, life transitions, racial trauma, cultural issues, neurodiversity, family problems and estrangement, among other challenges.

​

Also, I welcome people from kink, BDSM and sex-working communities. I aim to offer a kink-affirming and sex-worker-affirming therapeutic space. I recognise the importance of approaching people’s sexual lives, relationships and work without judgement or assumptions, while remaining attentive to experiences of coercion, exploitation, abuse and harm where these are present. You may wish to explore sexuality, relationships, intimacy, boundaries, identity, wellbeing or other areas of your life, and kink or sex work does not need to be the focus of therapy unless you would like it to be.

 

I’m aware that some of the challenges that can bring people to therapy can involve deeply personal areas of life, and finding the words to talk about them is not always easy. Therefore, I strive to provide a safe space where you can speak openly about your experiences without having to justify or minimise them, or hold shame about them on your own. Together, we can begin to make sense of what is happening and hold space for you as a whole person.

​

If you don’t see what you’re experiencing reflected above, you’re still very welcome to contact me. We can explore what’s bringing you to therapy and whether I may be able to support you.

​

I strive to ensure that the therapy I offer is culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodivergence-affirming. I also have professional experience working within the voluntary, NHS, gender-based violence, private mental health, education, and child and adolescent mental health sectors.

CLINICAL SUPERVISION 

​

I offer a reflective, collaborative supervision space where you can think deeply about your client work, yourself as a practitioner, and the wider contexts shaping both.

My approach is grounded in integrative counselling, drawing from humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, solution-focused, The Seven Eyed Model approaches, alongside an intersectional lens. I aim to offer supervision that is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and affirming of your identities and lived experience, including cultural, neurodivergent and queer perspectives.

I pay careful attention to how power, privilege, identity, relational dynamics and social context can influence both the therapeutic and supervisory relationship. Alongside this, I support you to develop your clinical thinking, confidence and capacity to work safely and ethically with your clients.

​

In our work together, you may find space to:

​

• Feel supported and thought about as a whole person, not just a practitioner

• Develop confidence in your clinical decision-making and risk management

• Explore relational dynamics, including parallel process

• Deepen your reflective capacity and self-awareness

• Sustain yourself in the work over time and reduce burnout

• Navigate the practical and emotional realities of private practice

• Grow as both a therapist and a human being

 

Who I work with:

​

• Qualified therapists and counsellors

• Trainee counsellors

• Therapists wanting to integrate an anti-oppressive and intersectional stance into their work

• Therapists seeking supervision that is culturally aware, neurodivergence-affirming and queer-affirming

• Therapists working with marginalised communities, gender based violence and complex trauma

 

Supervision options:

​

One-to-one supervision

​

Typically offered on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.

 

Group supervision

​

Small groups (maximum of four people), creating space for shared reflection, collective learning and thoughtful discussion.

​

​I recognise that contacting a psychotherapist or clinical supervisor can be a daunting task. If you have any questions or would like to get a sense of whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.
