Work with me
Counselling and Psychotherapy
Life can be really challenging and sometimes we all need some extra support to help navigate it.
I work with LGBTQ+ clients and those who feel like their identity and experiences might mean other therapists don’t get them.
I can help you understand yourself and what might help you feel better.
Sessions are held online via zoom and cost £55 for a 50 minute session. Working online means you don’t need to worry about location and can instead focus on finding the right therapist for you.
A concessionary rate of £50 available for students and those on low incomes, please let me know in your enquiry e-mail if you require one of my concessionary spaces. My working hours are: Mon – Thursday 9am – 4pm
I help people in areas such as:
Anxiety and panic attacks

What is therapy with me like?
I create a welcoming space to explore your experiences with you and use my knowledge of attachment, self-compassion and trauma-informed polyvagal theory, along with insights and hope from my lived experience, to help you better know, understand and accept yourself.
Together, we will explore patterns in your relationships, how your past might be affecting your present and what to do about it. Working relationally means I’ll be keeping an eye on how your patterns might play out in the therapy room and looking out for opportunities for us to practice doing things differently, so you can grow the confidence to make the changes you want in the real world.
My counselling draws from a range of therapy models, include Relational Psychotherapy, Attachment-informed, Compassion and polyvagal/somatic (body-focused) approaches.
I am committed to examining my own areas of privilege and am educating myself as I strive to make my practice as anti-oppressive as possible – including undertaking training on the impact of racism, neurodiversity, class and disability.
Working with me can help you:
– Understand your experiences of anxiety and learn to manage it so it doesn’t stop you living
– Improve your relationships, set boundaries, make decisions and stand up for yourself and what you need
– Overcome your challenges and past trauma so you feel less overwhelmed and can live a more fulfilling life
