I work with many issues and choose not to specialise because I’ve found that all issues connect with each other. Often a presenting issue turns into something else as we work on it.

Examples of what I can help with are:

Counselling for Anxiety: anxiety is driven by uncertainty and a fear of that uncertainty. It includes a feeling of being in a tense state as if something is about to go wrong, feeling low and hopeless, having panic attacks, finding it hard to cope with work, life or relationships, struggling with flashbacks and nightmares about things from your past, and feeling stressed. I am trained and experienced with working on all of these issues.

Trauma-Informed Practice: I recognise that distress is a natural human response to the traumatic situations and environments we experience in our lives. It is not a dysfunction, it is a normal response to an abnormal experience. I consider family, social, cultural and environmental issues as an essential part of thinking about distress. I have trained to practice in a trauma-informed way, recognising the impact of childhood trauma, chronic trauma (no identifiable trauma event) and inter-generational trauma. I understand and work with post-trauma responses such as hyper-vigilance and dissociation.

Racism and Social Justice: I take a keen interest in social responsibility, I oppose discrimination in all forms with a desire to create a fairer, more inclusive society and counselling profession. I have trained in Anti-Racist practice and Cultural Diversity. I work with people of all ethnicities and religious backgrounds and recognise the impact of whiteness on all aspects of life.

LGBTQIA+ and Alternative Lifestyles: I work with issues of identity around sexuality, relationship, gender and sex. I am an ally to LGBTQIA+ people and consider this as part of my socially responsible philosophy. I have had training with Pink Therapy and I’m listed with them as a therapist. I champion truly non-judgemental therapy for people with diverse sexual and gender identities, who are living diverse lifestyles and in diverse relationships. I understand the impact of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. I work with relationship styles including monogamy, non-monogamy and the various forms of polyamory. I work with people whose lifestyle or identity is misunderstood and subject to disapproval such as BDSM/kink or other alternative lifestyles.

Sex Workers: I am sex worker-friendly and -informed, I support the decriminalisation of sex work as a means to advance the health, safety and human rights of sex workers. My position on sex work is informed by listening to sex-workers and your representatives in the Sex Workers Union, Decrim Now and SWARM. I am listed with National Ugly Mugs (NUM) as a sex worker-friendly therapist and offer their free 3-session and 6-session packages.

I offer a confidential, safe space where you can explore your issues without shame or judgement. I won’t tell you how to live, I won’t pathologise who you are, instead I will help you to understand yourself better and through that understanding, help you find what’s right for you.
