I am a humanistic therapist trained and qualified (BACP) in Gestalt therapy, Person-Centred counselling, and Transactional Analysis. I draw on these, and a relational-embodied approach to tailor the therapy to your needs.

I have worked with two LGBTQ+ organisations, the East London Out Project (ELOP) and Switchboard, and continue to have a particular interest in working with individuals from this and other oppressed or minority communities. I have completed training from Gendered Intelligence on working alongside Trans, Gender diverse and questioning people, and am listed in their directory.
In addition to my counselling practice, I hold an academic post as Senior Lecturer at the University of Westminster which allows me space to engage in research, scholarship, and teaching that supports my practice. I previously practiced as a family law Barrister. I offer a specialist therapy service for lawyers at lawyertherapy.co.uk.
