As a Counsellor I specialise in working with LGBTQ+/ GSRD/ Queer people on the all the life issues they face, and people exploring and questioning their sexuality and /or gender identity. Additionally I have 20+ years experience working in mental health services so I work with people who may find it more difficult to access counselling and therapy including people with neurodiversity, people who hear voices, people who have beliefs and experiences that others find unusual, people in emotional or psychological crisis.
As a Supervisor I offer individual online Supervision to counsellors working with people in the LGBTQ+/ Queer community.
