How I work

My counselling approach is existentially-informed: I offer a welcoming space to explore your questions around existence, relationships and uncertainty, strengthening your sense of agency, and enabling your insights to emerge in their own time. This therapeutic relationship can bring about awareness and acceptance that feel transformative.

I’m passionate about social justice, liberatory processes and ecological concerns, and critical of the idea of the isolated self-sustaining individual. Inner and outer are not separate; individual, social, cultural and ecological are interdependent and always touching. 

My practice is anti-oppressive and LGBTQIA+ affirmative, underpinned by my long background as an arts-based facilitator using creative approaches to make difficult questions accessible. I support gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I subscribe to the social model of disability and try to make my practice as accessible as possible.  

Professional training

I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy at University of Brighton. I am now undertaking an MSc in Psychotherapy there. I’m committed to my ongoing professional development, and have done additional in-depth study in:

• Trans-affirmative practice
• Anti-racist/ justice-oriented practice
• Grief and mourning
• Ecopsychology: I have a special interest in exploring feelings and responses around climate and ecological change. I’m a climate cafe facilitator and a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.
