HELLO
My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, confidential space for you to speak about what you are going through in life. By attending therapy I can help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours aiding your self-understanding and understanding of others. Whilst I cannot give you advice or prescribe medications, I can help you to find your own solutions. This can be through making effective life changes or finding coping strategies. As your therapist I will listen to you without judgement and help you explore your thoughts and emotions, my aim is to always make you feel comfortable and able to share openly.
MY STORY
I have 10 plus years of working with neurodiverse adults within supported living sectors and 3 years of working with parents and domestic violence survivors through my counselling placements during university.
I began my therapeutic journey in 2020 after many years of accessing my own mental health support and realising that I wanted to make a difference to others who struggle to seek out individuals within therapy services who relate to them.
My personal experiences have given me extensive knowledge in bereavement, sexual abuse, depression, self-harming behaviours, trauma, chronic illness, domestic violence, LGBTQI+ issues and neurodiversity.
This has enhanced my understanding and sparked a passion for working within these areas therapeutically. I want people to learn to embrace what makes them different and shine through it.
I want people to embrace what makes them different, to heal from their struggles and to shine through what they've been through.
WHAT I OFFER & HOW I WORK
-
I am a kink-aware therapist, meaning I will not pathologise consensual kink identities or practices, and I aim to support clients in exploring sexuality, identity, and boundaries in a nonjudgmental and informed way.
-
I believe therapy should be as inclusive and accessible as possible. I offer reduced fees for students and those on lower incomes (proof required). My standard sessions are priced at £50/hr, with discounted slots at £45/hr.
-
My training includes neurodiversity awarenes, domestic violence, sexual trauma, relationship dynamics, working therapeutically online, suicide prevention, and more.
Therapy processes differ for everyone and I aim to help you feel comfortable, heard and safe within this therapeutic journey we will embark upon together. For you this could mean taking control of your relationships, exploring boundaries, building confidence and self-esteem, challenging yourself, finding your goals or processing emotions. Working together enables you to understand your own needs and get the best out of your therapeutic process.
AVAILABILITY & SCHEDULING
I offer sessions Tuesday through Friday, generally during daytime hours. I also have limited evening availability for those who need it. Please contact me to see what slots might open up.
