Therapists and Counsellors Directory

I am a fully qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a queer, trans man of colour.

I deliver training to counsellors in working affirmatively around gender and also deliver training in trans awareness, and in anti-racist practice, to organisations around the country in Internationally.

In the past I have provided counselling for an NHS Wellbeing service, and for a University counselling service. I also spent several years working in the voluntary sector as a mental health advocate, trainer and group facilitator.

​The modality I use is Psychodynamic, which involves bringing unconscious patterns into conscious awareness. Alongside family and relationship dynamics largely developed in childhood, we may explore defence mechanisms that at one time have been vital to our survival, but have now become dysfunctional. We can then explore how we might be able to witness and to heal those parts of ourselves that needed defending and protecting, and move towards a more integrated sense of self.

My work is explorative and largely non-directive, meaning that we will work with whatever you chose to bring on the day of the session. I will work to hold a safe space for you to explore at your own pace, and we will strive to make sense of the bigger picture together.

My work is influenced by spirituality and by Black feminism, taking into account how intersecting oppressive structures in society (and throughout history) can have an adverse effect on our mental, spiritual and physical health.

​My work is affirmative of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity (e.g. non-monogamy, poly, kink), as well as being sex-worker affirmative.

I undertake professional development training on a regular basis.
