I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor with a person-centred approach at the core of my practice. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and affirming space for individuals, with a special focus on LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating issues related to sexualised drug use, addiction, sexual health, identity, relationships, and mental well-being.
With extensive experience working within LGBTQ+ communities and my own lived experiences, I understand the unique challenges that can arise, including stigma, shame, addiction, and the complexities of intimacy and connection. My approach integrates various therapeutic modalities, including, CBT, TA and mindfulness techniques, to tailor support to each individual's needs. However, my foundation remains person-centred—ensuring that therapy is led by you, at your pace, in a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.
My aim is to help you foster self-acceptance, resilience, and meaningful change in a way that aligns with your values and experiences.
I have a foundation degree in counselling and a diploma in Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity Therapy

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
