I know that starting your therapy journey takes courage and therefore I offer a warm, empathetic and non-judgemental space to support you in taking those first steps. My approach is thoroughly trauma-informed as I place the safety and empowerment of all my clients as a priority. I am a queer affirming and anti-oppressive practitioner, with an intersectional and feminist theoretical lense.
I work with teenagers and adults, offering short and long-term psychotherapy both in person and online. My practice is based within the inspiring and nurturing attic of Liberation Art Gallery, located in the heart of Brighton Lanes. I aim to offer an inclusive and safe therapeutic space, so alongside cultivating a meaningful therapeutic relationship with every client, I am mindful of those who may face additional challenges in accessing traditional mental health services.
As an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist, my theoretical orientation is rooted in relational,
psychodynamic and humanistic thinking, shaped by trauma-informed, socially conscious and queer-affirming frameworks. My practice spans inpatient forensic services and a private practice consisting of primarily LGBTQIA+ identifying people, offering a de-medicalised, creative and compassionate space that centres safety and empowerment.
My integrative stance allows me to draw on multiple perspectives to meet each client as a whole being, uniquely situated within relational, cultural and political contexts. Working relationally, I experience therapy as a co-created process that unfolds through the intersubjective encounter, where both client and therapist are shaped by what emerges between them.
Trauma theory underpins much of my work and I specialise in working with complex trauma.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
