About Me

I am a humanistic, integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of BACP.

I trained at Leeds Beckett University with a postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy and a psychotherapy MA. My master's research looked into working with clients who have experienced harm in previous therapeutic relationships, and I have a special interest in this area. I hold a diploma in supervision from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology.

I take a keen interest in social responsibility, especially working to oppose discrimination in all forms, promoting social justice and campaigning for a fairer, more inclusive profession. I write, speak publicly,  and campaign and participate in events relating to these issues across the country.

My Background

 

Prior to my psychotherapeutic training, I worked in dementia care, promoting emotional wellbeing and social interaction amongst people living with dementia. I continue to have an interest in dementia and issues affecting older people; I have volunteered on the BACP older people's strategy expert panel, working towards encouraging engagement with therapy amongst older people. 

My experiences as a client continue to inform my practice. I have experienced transformational therapy, and harmful therapy at different points in my life. All of my experiences form part of how I understand therapeutic practice, and fuel my passion for accessibility, representation, equity, and justice in the therapy professions.
