Practice description

I am an LGBTQ+/GSRD Person-Centred Counsellor and Supervisor. I am an Advanced Accredited ‘Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversities’ Therapist (Pink Therapy), and an Accredited Professional Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I offer long or short term, individual counselling online and in person in Worthing, West Sussex.

I am Queer Non Binary and use They/Them pronouns. I am neurodivergent and live with chronic health issues.

I work in Private Practice and at London Friend with individual adults (18+) who are queer, ,gay, bisexual, asexual, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, agender, intersex, or cis / het and in some way questioning and trying to understand issues around their sexuality or gender. I work with people with all kinds of issues and concerns and in differing levels of distress. I am committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming, safe enough space where you can talk about anything you want to.

I work from a non-pathologising understanding of mental health issues and emotional distress, I will ask you what’s happened to you rather than try to find out what’s wrong with you. I also work with people who may find it more difficult to access counselling and therapy including people who:

  • are neurodivergent such as ASD, ADHD, dyslexia
  • hear voices, experience dissociation / DID, or have beliefs and experiences that others find unusual
  • are in emotional or psychological crisis
  • are in consensual non-monogamous or poly relationships
  • people labelled with PTSD, schizophrenia or a personality disorder.
