Becoming your therapist

I offer a welcoming, non‑judgmental space where you can explore whatever feels difficult right now — anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, or other emotional challenges. My work is grounded in experience and a deep commitment to inclusivity, with particular care for issues of diversity, equality, and identity, including dedicated support for LGBTQ+ clients.
To help you decide whether therapy feels right for you, I offer a complimentary, informal consultation. It’s a chance for us to talk, understand what may be holding you back, and begin gently shaping a path toward change.
I value reliability, punctuality, and open communication. If you’d like to ask a question or arrange your first conversation, I’d be glad to hear from you.
