Helping people heal and find themselves again
Welcome. I’m an experienced accredited counsellor and life coach who can help you find your way when things are difficult.
I offer an affirming, inclusive space for anyone exploring their identity, relationships or sense of self. Whether you are questioning, exploring or simply want a space where your whole self is accepted, you are warmly welcomed here.
In our work together we can gently explore aspects of your identity- cultural, relational, sexual and gendered- and how these impact you. We can look at how internalised messages, shame, family expectations and societal pressures may be creating blocks to your well-being and work towards healing, self-acceptance and a way of living that feels authentic and empowering for you.
​​
For couples and relationship partners (whatever the structure) I provide a respectful and balanced space to strengthen communication, rebuild trust and navigate challenge together. I can support you in addressing conflict and deepening your connection to create the kind of relationship that feels secure, loving and aligned with your values.
​
If that’s what you feel you need, please contact me to see if I can help.
About Me (she/her)
I am NCS accredited, with a CPCAB Diploma in therapeutic counselling, a Diploma in psychosexual therapy and am a qualified couples therapist.I also hold specialist qualifications in psychosexual counselling, working with cultural identity, with the LGBTQ+ community and with neurodivergence.
Welcome — I'm glad you're here.
I’m a qualified and accredited therapist working with individuals and couples, and I offer a warm, inclusive space where you can explore who you are, what you’re carrying, and where you hope to go. My work is grounded in acceptance, curiosity, and collaboration, with a deep respect for each person’s cultural background, gender and sexual identity, and neurodiversity.
With couples, I support partners in rebuilding trust, improving communication, and nurturing closeness and intimacy — whether you are hoping to repair, reconnect, or grow together.
With individuals, I help clients work through emotional pain, heal from past experiences, and move toward personal goals that feel aligned and meaningful. This sometimes involves gentle challenge, always within a compassionate therapeutic relationship.
I work integratively, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches so that our sessions can meet your unique needs rather than fitting you into a single model. My training also includes psychosexual therapy, allowing us to explore sexual wellbeing, desire, and identity in a supportive and non‑judgmental way if this is part of your journey.
Therapy is a space where you don’t have to navigate things alone. If you feel ready to take the next step, I’d be happy to talk about how we might work together.
Counselling
Your thoughts, feelings and experiences are unique, but it can help to express these to someone who has a specialist understanding of where you are coming from. Together we can find your way forward to help you better cope and explore what is happening for you and to support you through it.
Cultural identity
Many people are finding that the world around us is raising complex questions about identity, belonging, and safety. You may feel caught in an in‑between space — navigating conflicting emotions, shifting relationships, or parts of yourself that don’t seem to fit neatly together. These experiences can be confusing, draining, and sometimes frightening.
In therapy, I offer a calm, confidential space where you can explore these feelings at your own pace. Together, we can reflect on what it means to be you in a rapidly changing society, and how your cultural identity shapes your inner world, your relationships, and your sense of belonging. This might include the aspects that feel empowering and grounding, as well as the parts that feel painful, silenced, or at odds with one another.
My work includes supporting staff and students of colour within organisations, and offering testimony and emotional support to individuals affected by the Windrush scandal. Through this experience — and through my understanding of what it means to navigate the world from a non‑white perspective — I appreciate the unique pressures, expectations, and vulnerabilities that can arise. I also recognise that there can be tensions within our own communities that feel difficult to talk about, and that speaking openly can sometimes feel like a betrayal of culture, family, or self.
This is why the safety of the space — and of you within it — is central to my work. Therapy can be a place where your experiences are met with understanding, cultural awareness, and professional care. It can be easier to open up with someone who not only listens, but who also has specialist training and experience in cultural, racial, gender, and sexual identity work.
I work integratively, drawing from several therapeutic approaches so that we can find what best supports you — whether that is healing from past experiences, understanding conflicting parts of yourself, or moving toward personal goals that feel more aligned and authentic.
If there are specific aspects of your cultural identity or personal history that you would like to explore, I’m very open to discussing how we might work together.
Sexuality and Gender
Exploring your sexuality or gender identity can bring up a wide range of emotions — curiosity, uncertainty, excitement, fear, or even a sense of being lost. It can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re navigating these questions alone or within environments where you don’t feel fully understood. Having a therapist who recognises the complexity and vulnerability of this exploration can make a meaningful difference.
In our sessions, I offer a safe, affirming, and non‑judgemental space where all parts of your identity are welcome. Whether you are questioning, coming out, navigating transition, exploring your orientation, or considering alternative relationship models, you will be met without assumption and with genuine acceptance. Together, we can reflect on your experiences at a pace that honours both your emotional safety and your autonomy.
This work can sometimes stir up internal conflict — including pressures from family, culture, community, or past experiences — as well as internalised beliefs that can be painful or confusing. I will support you in navigating these with care, compassion, and gentle curiosity, helping you move toward clarity, confidence, and self‑alignment. Intersectionality is central to this process; your gender and sexual identity does not exist in isolation, and our work will recognise the many contexts that shape your experience.
As a qualified and accredited therapist — including accreditation with Pink Therapy and specialist training in LGBTQ+ affirmative practice — I bring both professional expertise and deep respect for the diversity of identities and expressions within the community. My integrative approach allows us to draw on different therapeutic models depending on what best supports you.
Whether you’re seeking healing, a deeper understanding of yourself, or support in navigating relationships, therapy can offer a space where your whole self feels seen, respected, and held with care.
If you would like to explore any aspect of your sexuality or gender identity, I’m very open to discussing how we can work together.
Couples Counselling
Relationships can be a source of deep connection, but they can also bring challenges that feel difficult to navigate alone. When we’re caught in our own feelings and perspectives, it can be hard to truly hear one another or see a way forward. Having a supportive space outside the relationship — one that is calm, balanced, and non‑judgemental — can make all the difference.
I work with couples who are facing a wide range of difficulties, including the impact of infidelity, bereavement, life transitions, communication breakdowns, or changes in intimacy. In an increasingly volatile world, these pressures can feel even more intense, and many couples find it helpful to have guidance as they work through them together.
In our sessions, my aim is to support both of you — as a couple and as individuals — in finding a way forward that feels authentic and strengthening. This often includes rebuilding trust, improving communication, and cultivating closeness and intimacy in ways that honour your needs and values. I will work collaboratively with you to explore patterns, emotions, and dynamics, helping you understand not only what is happening, but why it is happening.
Sessions are usually held with both partners present, but I remain flexible depending on your needs, goals, and the issues you are working through. Emotional and relational safety is always at the centre of the process.
As a qualified psychosexual therapist, I also support couples with difficulties around desire, intimacy, and sexual wellbeing. These issues can feel sensitive or difficult to raise, but exploring them in a supportive therapeutic environment can bring clarity, relief, and renewed connection.
My approach is integrative, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities so our work can be tailored to suit you as a couple. Whether you are hoping to repair, reconnect, or reshape your relationship, therapy can offer a space where understanding and change become possible.
If you’re unsure where to begin, we can talk about what you’re experiencing and what you hope to achieve together.
Psychosexual Therapy
Sexual wellbeing is an important part of how we relate to ourselves and to others, yet it can often feel difficult to talk about. Many people encounter confusion, uncertainty, or distress in this area, and it can be hard to know where to turn for support. Having a space where you can explore your sexual experiences and questions with openness and without judgment can be deeply grounding and transformative.
As a qualified psychosexual therapist, I work with a wide range of concerns related to sexual identity, desire, intimacy, kink, and sexuality. My practice is sex‑positive, inclusive, and affirming — and rooted in the belief that every person deserves to understand and express their sexuality in a way that is safe, authentic, and fulfilling.
These conversations can bring up internal conflicts or long‑held biases shaped by family, culture, society, or past experiences. These influences can blur our understanding of ourselves and sometimes leave us feeling confused, ashamed, or disconnected from our sexual selves. This, in turn, can affect both individual wellbeing and the quality of our intimate relationships.
In our sessions, I offer a supportive therapeutic space where you can explore these experiences with compassion and clarity. Together, we can look at what may be getting in the way of feeling sexually connected, satisfied, or fulfilled — whether that’s emotional blocks, relationship dynamics, past experiences, identity‑related questions, or uncertainties about what you want and need.
My approach is integrative, drawing from different therapeutic modalities to support you in a way that honours your individuality. I offer information where helpful, gentle challenge where needed, and a collaborative process aimed at moving you toward greater understanding, self‑acceptance, and a more satisfying sexual life.
Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, growth, or a more confident connection to your own sexuality, therapy can provide a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. If there are particular concerns or questions you’d like to work through, I’m very open to discussing how we might approach this together.
Life Coaching
I offer a variety of life coaching services that will help you overcome personal challenges and allow you to achieve your individual life goals. This can be done after therapy or as a completely separate process.
Achieving Life Goals
We all have goals in life but sometimes we get stuck as to how to achieve the . Coaching can identify and overcome blocks to your success and guide you towards your end goal. As a qualified therapist I can help you understand your unique psychological perspective and as a qualified life coach I can champion your journey into achieving these goals. The way to your success is specific to you and what works for you and we can find that way together.
Achieving Financial Goals
Achieving our financial goals often sets us up for achieving success in other parts of our lives. These coaching sessions aim to encourage and guide you towards accomplishing your financial goals, overcoming blocks and finding a way forward that works for you. These sessions do not offer specific financial advice but give guidance on healthy financial practices and help you understand your own habits and concerns about money.
Self Esteem and Self Acceptance Package
Self acceptance is an integral part of self esteem. It allows us to be happy in who we are and how we see the world and yet so many of us struggle with this. I offer a set a 6 coaching sessions designed specifically to achieve self acceptance with compassion and empathy. Please note you do not have to explore this concept in this way. Achieving self acceptance may be part of a bigger piece of work or you may only be interest in specific aspects of this, leaving the deeper work to another time. As ever, the approach is flexible and intended to work with what you need.
Relationship Coaching Session
These coaching sessions work with you as a couple to reach specific goals in your relationship. This may be a follow on from couples counselling or as a stand alone piece of work. Goals often follow themes such as money, sex or communication and these sessions aim to help you achieve these goals in a way that works for both of you. You may be unsure as to whether counselling or coaching is appropriate and I am happy to discuss your particular situation and advise you.
