Qualifications and memberships 

I have a BSc (Hons) Counselling and Therapeutic Studies and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work to the BACP’s ethical framework, which means I undertake regular supervision and commit to engaging in ongoing training and development.  

Counselling Practice  

I have worked as a therapist in several organisations, including Universities, Bereavement Services, Sexual violence, and mental health organisations. I have worked with a range of presentations, which include, but are not limited to; anxiety, OCD, depression, gender, sexuality, discrimination, bereavement, divorce, health conditions and relationship difficulties. 

Sexual Violence and Discrimination  

I am passionate about supporting people who have experienced sexual violence or discrimination of any kind. I use principles of trust, respect, and feminism within my work to create an environment that hopes to empower clients.  

I worked as a helpline volunteer, taking calls from women and girls who have experienced rape or sexual violence. I have also worked as a volunteer counsellor in a rape crisis organisation, delivering long term trauma informed therapy to victim-survivors. In my organisational work, for several years I have facilitated a peer support group for staff working with disclosures of sexual violence, and I offer specialist therapy to clients who have experienced sexual violence, discrimination, or harassment.  

LGBTQ+ 

My practice is queer and trans welcoming. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ people and have undertaken a number of training opportunities to extend my knowledge in this area. I am dedicated to working with clients from diverse backgrounds, relationships and those questioning their identity.

Disability and Neurodiversity  

I am keenly committed to upholding an anti-ableist approach in my therapy. This commitment is informed by my work within the disability and neurodiversity landscape. These roles involved delivering training, adapting University curriculum, and working 1:1 with disabled people with mental health difficulties. I have also facilitated social groups for autistic University students and worked with large numbers of clients who are curious about exploring neurodiversity in adulthood.  

I have received training from The ADHD Foundation, the National Association of Disability Practitioners and The National Autistic Society.

I am deeply interested in creating an inclusive environment for clients and I aim to do this by working with each client on an individual basis, exploring what their needs are in the therapeutic space, and understanding how we can adapt our sessions.
