After you get in touch, I would offer you a 20-30 minute consultation in person, by phone or on Zoom. This is an opportunity for you to tell me what you are experiencing and what you might like to gain from counselling.  It will also allow me to decide on how and if I could help. 

 

Following this, we would then go on to arrange regular (usually weekly) sessions, reviewing how they are going regularly.  

 

At all times I will aim to provide a space that is gentle, containing, and without judgement, so that you can feel safe enough to explore at your own pace.  You might not know exactly what you want from the therapy, and sometimes getting to know what you want and need is part of the journey. My philosophy is to help you to become more empowered in yourself so that you are more able to find this.

 

I can help with and have experience of working with

• Living with and managing anxiety 

• Becoming more empowered in yourself, especially in terms of gender identity and sexuality

• Aspects of neurodiversity (eg ADHD), and to turn them into assets rather than problems

• Racism 

• Relationships with family, partners and friends

• Grief and loss

• Living with HIV

• Past trauma
