About me and my therapy practice

I offer a non-judgemental, inclusive, and supportive space for all. My person-centred approach means I walk alongside you in your healing journey, honouring you as the expert of your own life. I recognise that many face systemic barriers and discrimination, and I鈥檓 here to offer support that validates your experiences.

I work with people from all walks of life, with a focus on supporting those from marginalised communities, including but not limited to:

LGBTQIA+ individuals

People of colour

Neurodivergent individuals

Care experienced/adoption related

BDSM/kink communities

Religious trauma

Workplace issues

Therapy should feel safe and accessible. I鈥檓 happy to accommodate any sensory needs or preferences鈥攆eel free to bring fidget toys, weighted blankets, or anything else that helps you feel comfortable.

Practice description

As a neurodivergent person myself, I understand how important sensory comfort can be. I鈥檒l do my very best to accommodate your needs鈥攚hether that鈥檚 adjusting room lighting, managing sounds or scents, adapting colours, offering breaks during sessions, or being flexible with how the counselling is delivered. Please do let me know about any sensory requirements, and we can work together to create a space that feels right for you. You鈥檙e also welcome to bring a hobby or activity鈥攁nything calming or familiar that supports your comfort during our sessions.

My first session

What to Expect in Our Counselling Sessions

Starting counselling can feel overwhelming, especially if you're unsure what to expect. To help make things feel more predictable and reassuring, here鈥檚 a simple overview:

1. A Friendly Hello

We鈥檒l begin with a relaxed check-in. In your first session, I鈥檒l take some practical details鈥攜our name, address, GP and next of kin info, brief medical history, medications, and your goals for therapy.

We'll also talk about confidentiality, safety, and I鈥檒l share a counselling agreement and GDPR guidelines for you to review and sign.

Note: I鈥檒l only contact your GP or next of kin in an emergency, or after discussing it with you.

In future sessions, we鈥檒l simply check in鈥攈ow you鈥檝e been and how you鈥檙e feeling.

2. Finding What Matters

You鈥檙e free to talk about whatever feels important. If you鈥檙e unsure where to begin, I can help guide us gently into conversation.

3. Working Together

We鈥檒l explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits you. You鈥檙e always in control. If anything feels too much, or you'd like to shift focus, that鈥檚 completely okay.

4. Tools and Support (Optional)

Sometimes I may offer journaling prompts, handouts, or strategies to try between sessions. These are always optional鈥攐nly if they feel right for you.

5. Wrapping Up

We鈥檒l end with a brief recap and check-in on how you're feeling. If there鈥檚 something you鈥檇 like to focus on next time, you鈥檙e welcome to say so.

A Few Extra Bits:

Sessions are around 50 minutes

No need to prepare anything in advance

Silence, emotion, laughter, or uncertainty are all welcome

There鈥檚 no 鈥渞ight鈥 way to do this鈥攚e鈥檒l take it step by step, together.
