Welcome

Counselling can help to connect more fully with yourself, other people and the world around you.  Whatever the reason you might be looking to seek counselling, I provide a safe, accepting and supportive space to explore and work through feelings, thoughts, images, dreams and experiences.  My working experience includes health issues, sexuality, gender identity, anxiety, depression and relationships.

About me

Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in counselling from the The Psychosynthesis Trust (PGDip awarded by Middlesex University). I am a registered accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work in accordance with their ethical framework. I have 8 years counselling experience, including a year as a volunteer counsellor at London Friend.

I’m interested in lots of things, in particular the mind-body connection, transformative experiences and wild therapy.  I’ve experience and interest in working with LGBTQIA+ clients who are exploring the possibility of having children and queer family building.

Approach

My Psychosynthesis training is integrative, encompassing various modalities and drawing from all schools of psychology.  My focus is relational, meaning I attune to each clients relational needs and draw on the relationship between us to inform the work.  I weave in aspects of the person-centred approach too, embodying the core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence (genuineness).

Background

I grew up in a village just outside Birmingham, moved to study and live in North Wales, before moving to London to work in the homeless sector, where I gained 20 years of experience most of this in front-line support work. I am a cofounder and director at The Outside Project.
