My Approach

Areas of focus: LGBTQIA+, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Kink Polyamory / Ethical non-monogamy (ENM), Self esteem, Sex and relationships, Stress, Trauma.

My approach can be boiled down to a central core issue of how we relate: how we relate to ourselves, to others, to our past experiences and to our ever-evolving sense of self. I see our therapeutic relationship as a place where you can explore, question and even make changes to what felt like a fixed way of relating.

About Me

I am an integrative therapist specialising in LGBTQIA therapy, sex & relationships therapy, kink-aware therapy, poly-aware therapy, and bereavement therapy. I have a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and an MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from The Minster Centre, Europe’s leading institute for Integrative Psychotherapy. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Special Interests

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.

Loss is an inevitable part of being alive and has a huge impact on all of us. When you lose someone close to you, even though you have an awareness that grief can be a battle, your own grief can be startlingly unfamiliar and scary. It can be alarming to see yourself suddenly not be able to cope with everyday activities, or lose meaning in what used to give you so much joy. The loss of someone can even bring back previous losses that occurred many year ago, losses that you thought had settled and been put to rest. As much as bereavement happens to people all the time, you may feel lonely in your grief. Others around you may not know what to say or what to do. Your work and family commitments may now be at odds with how you feel and what you need. Your bereavement may also come at a time where you were already struggling, and now this has landed on top of that heavy weight. I believe that having a space to explore how you are feeling is crucial during this time. Your grief needs care and attention, and short term therapy (12 sessions) can be very effective in giving you space to feel supported and to heal.
My practice is sex positive, kink-aware and poly-aware. ​ I am registered on the Kink and Polyamory Aware Professionals Directory (KAP). ​ Sex positivity holds strong the knowledge that your sexual desires and ways of having (or wanting to have) sex can be a joyous exploration and way of growth. Societal shame around sex has thrown many obstacles in this course, and we unfortunately absorb and internalise some of that shame into our sex and relationships. Sadly, our story of sex is often not one of joy but of struggle, confusion and pain. Difficult and traumatic sexual experiences can hold power over the present and be an obstacle in how you form sexual and loving relationships. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be an opportunity to heal and to grow into who you really are.​
I am queer affirmative, so my position is that your sexuality and gender identity is as unique as you are and is something to be cherished. Struggles around our identity and desires can be challenging and painful and the world can unfortunately be an isolating and shaming environment to be a part of. As a result of growing up in these sometimes hostile surroundings, a range of difficulties can develop later in life such as: difficulties in relating and forming nourishing relationships, feeling isolated and not belonging, feeling shame around aspects of yourself, or a reliance on alcohol and drugs to just be with yourself and others. ​ Particularly for gay men, the sexual landscape has changed rapidly in the past decade. Advances in sexual health with effective HIV management and PrEP have grown alongside chemsex being more common. In our counselling sessions, you can expect to be listened to empathically and non-judgementally, working with the reality of modern queer life, not at odds with it.
