About Me
I am an integrative LGBTQI+ counsellor and believe in the multiplicity of ‘self’; where I invite all your different needs and parts to therapy. I have a neurodiverse and multicultural background and bring over 30 years of experience in personal development and creative practice. As such I utalise the mind body connection and give you powerful tools to help sooth and regulate emotional discomfort. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect and insight. This enables me to support you with openness and kindness and gently guide and facilitate your process.
The focus of therapy is a collaborative, supportive, and tailored experience—both within our sessions and in your life beyond them.
My Experience
- Online Therapy: Working as an Online Therapist UK therapeutic alliances with individuals from diverse backgrounds, issues and locations.
- Private Practice: My face to face practice is in East Sussex, England where I work somatically, through nature and with the integrative counselling process.
- Bereavement Counsellor : I view loss as a non-linear process, much like a spiral working with past, present and future time.
- Children and Young people : Unresolved challenges in childhood can carry into adulthood and have worked extensively in this area .
- Group Facilitation: This has informed my one to one work where we explore how different parts of the self respond within social and family systems.
My Approach
I integrate humanistic therapeutic modalities with CBT, informed by internal family systems and am a somatic trauma practitioner. Sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs and healing journey.
While talking therapy is at the core of building trust with you and truly being seen without judgment, my expertise in somatic practices can; .
- Change Beliefs– Helping adults rewrite and release deep-seated trauma and limiting beliefs.
- Trauma Healing – Using gentle, effective techniques to process past experiences in a safe and supportive way.
- Empowering Change – Supporting you in shifting old patterns and creating a more positive, freeing mindset.
