I have been practising as a therapist since I qualified in 2015 with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy from The University of South Wales. I am a registered member of BACP.

 

I am white-British, English speaking, and trans. I have a mixed-class background, I'm able-bodied and I experience some aspects of neurodivergence. I continuously work to process the privileges as well as the challenges that these different identities bring. I hold high expectations of myself to practice in a way that is diversity-affirmative and anti-oppressive. Due to the privileges I hold I have blind spots and welcome direct feedback and criticism, especially if I have been hurtful.

​

In my practice I aim for a helpful balance of support (being alongside you and caring about your situation) understanding you (who you are in relationship to the culture in which you live/have lived), and challenge (encouraging you to grow when the moment is right). I would describe my style as a mixture of curious, sincere, direct, transparent and occasionally humorous. 

​

I have been a long-term student of Process-oriented Psychology since 2016. I particularly value the focus on the development of a deeper understanding of the ongoing, systemic oppressions and power dynamics alive in the world today (racism, patriarchy, transphobia, classism, homophobia, ableism etc) and how the impact of these oppressions show up in us and in relationship. I bring this awareness and apply it to all of the work that I do.

​

In my spare time I can often be found walking or running outdoors, seeking deep relationship, playing sport, singing, pursuing self development or dancing.
