Why counselling and psychotherapy?
At this present moment in 2024 I am looking forward with you all, wondering what might bring you to see me. In the work I look to connect people to their own potential in a safe and empathic environment using a range of skills, but also by simply holding space for people to talk. I work from a non-judgmental place where all experiences and feelings are welcome, nothing is off the table.
Having come from an arts background I am well suited to working with people who are creatives, but I welcome enquiries from everyone and am experienced in working with a wide range of people. I have also completed further training in Integrative Therapy this year bringing a greater depth to my work. Having volunteered at the LGBT+ Switchboard I learnt a lot around community and how to work with LGBTQIA+ clients, and have since expanded this knowledge through my client work over the years.
London can be a chaotic city and whilst I hope to be of service to many clients in my career, I have been humbled by everything brought to the therapy space so far. I have a wide range of experience of working with anxiety, depression, sexuality, gender, trauma, grief, and neurodiversity amongst other areas, but please do reach out to discuss what it is you might be bringing as these are just a few of my areas of experience. All are welcome.
