About me

I began my career working in charities and housing associations, providing support to people with substance misuse issues. I went on to work for 20 years in the public sector. Following a crisis and deep engagement with my own therapeutic journey, I decided to train as a counsellor.

​

I have been engaged for many years in therapy, personal development and cultivating a soulful and spiritual life. I have worked through my fair share of painful experiences and challenges of being human, and bring the wisdom, compassion and humility I have gained in the process to my work as a counsellor. â€‹

​

As a queer person I have worked through issues of identity and oppression.
