About Me

I am a qualified Counsellor and an Accredited Member of the BACP* and a qualified Clinical Counselling Supervisor, including Online and Telephone Work. I have been working in therapeutic counselling settings for many years. At present, I work in Private Practice from Farringdon and New Cross Gate. I also work on-line or on the phone. My work is GSRD informed (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity). I am Queer and gender fluid.

Approach

My aim is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental, confidential and safe environment for you to share your story and be heard. I see my counselling role as hopefully guiding you towards your own answers and uncovering your own truths.
