As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that the therapeutic relationship between therapist & client is a crucial catalyst for positive change. With attributes such as warmth, empathy & emotional intelligence, I create a caring & non-judgmental space for clients to explore their issues. Drawing from my extensive experience, including specific expertise in working with the LGTBIQA+ community, gay males & addressing sex & relationship concerns, I help clients realise their capacity for inner peace & personal growth. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs by utilising appropriate therapeutic modalities, fostering a safe & confidential environment for their healing journey. Clients say they choose me because I seem kind & calm.

Years in practice: 14
Offers:  Remote Therapy

As a counsellor, I believe people are ultimately the experts on their own lives. I see my role as one to walk alongside clients & support them by: hearing their story, offering suggestions or new information & validating their strengths & resilience. My aim is to help clients feel heard, understood, validated and supported to be the best version of themselves possible. I understand one counselling model does not fit all as everyone is unique. I am a person-centred therapist; although I often incorporate other modalities, depending on client needs, which may include CBT, SFT, ACT, MI or EFT. I predominantly work in the areas of: grief and loss, suicide and bereavement, relationships, mental health and addictions.

Caring & non-judgemental counselling for LGBTQIA+ folk. You may have been feeling bad about yourself and have noticed that you have been acting in inauthentic ways. Perhaps you are worried others won’t accept the real you. It’s been difficult to share your self-critical thoughts with others. I help LGBTQIA+ folk with non-judgmental and caring space to explore and better understand their distress. By creating a safe space between us we can begin to understand how feelings of shame have been shaped by trauma in relationships. Through increased self-understanding, you can connect with a kinder version of yourself and get clear about where you hustle for self-worth and connection.
