About me and my practice
I have a particular understanding of the unique joys and challenges GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) populations may face and so am best suited to working with those who might find themselves minoritised or marginalised due to aspects of their social identity. I am a sex and relationship therapist in training to work with psychosexual themes.
I offer a warm, confidential, affirming and socially liberal approach that welcomes individuals over the age of 18, all genders, sexualities, races, and backgrounds. I am committed to providing compassionate trauma informed care. We will collaborate to understand your experiences from multiple dimensions thinking biopsychosocially - how we feel in our bodies affects how we feel in our minds which in turn affects how we interact with the world.
My journey into counselling was inspired by my own experience as a client, so I understand the apprehension that can come with seeking support. Central to my approach is the cultivation of a meaningful relationship between us. I believe as human beings we thrive when we feel understood and connected to. Through this relationship we can unfold and explore our full potential.
If you're thinking about whether I am the right counsellor for you and would like to talk please contact me in whichever way you prefer. I aim to respond promptly to enquiries.
All communication is treated confidentially.
Thank you :)
