Experience

My diploma in Integrative Counselling is through The Minster Centre where I am currently working towards my Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy. My orientation draws on a range of modalities, philosophies and approaches which I adapt to each client. I have worked with people from a diverse range of backgrounds as a counsellor for the charity Mind, for a private low-cost therapy service and run a private practice in London. Before retraining as a therapist, I worked as a jeweller and within the wellness field. These backgrounds continue to inform my therapeutic practice, which is rooted in creativity, intuition, and openness.

Speciality

I work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, in ways that could be described as anxiety or depression. Many of them wish to better understand themselves, express their feelings, and speak up for their needs in relationships. I have supported many people going through grief or loss, wether it be death and bereavement (including animals companions), a break up or grieving a life you once imagined for yourself.

Philosophy

I value the magical and mystical dimensions of life, including our connection to the other-than-human world, and I believe there are many paths toward understanding and healing. I recognise that our social and political identities shape us in different ways, and that these identities often overlap to create unique experiences of privilege or oppression. I aim to create a practice which is inclusive, affirming and respectful of difference and remain attentive to the ways difference may be felt within the therapeutic relationship.
