about me
I hold an MA/Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling (UKCP) and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling (BACP).
​
As well as working in private practice, I've lectured, teach and train at various counselling and psychotherapy organisations, including delivering modules on LGBTQIA+ and Race and Power.
​
I’ve volunteered at MIND, offering accessible counselling to local communities. I've been a Specialist Mentor for a social enterprise supporting disabled and neurodivergent adults. I've delivered telephone counselling to young people at Childline. I've worked with adults with long-term mental health issues in supported housing, as part of the Forest Community Project.
​
My first MA was in English Language and Literature at Oxford University. I previously worked in the fields of journalism, art and creative writing.
Authentic relationships enrich my life and my work. Genuine empathy, curiosity and warmth allow us to make soul connections. I hope to combine wisdom and humility. I’ve faced my own life challenges. I've found compassion, care and creativity from my therapists. I aim to provide the same.​​​​
