I am trained as an integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I have a postgraduate qualification in Women's Studies.

From working in Central London in my previous career as a Police Officer, and also my studies, I have a broad and in depth knowledge of difference and diversity. 

I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to promoting change, and I value each client as an individual. I work in a very relational way.

I have extensive experience of working with the LGBTQ+ Community.

I understand the spectrums regarding identity, sexuality, gender and relationship diversity.

I am a photographer with a keen interest in creativity and mental health.

My particular area of interest is in Adult ADHD (see separate section).
