Looking for all my feral, wildling, weirdos and anyone else who feels like society isn't for them.
Experienced supervisor and therapist here looking to help anyone who feels that 'society' doesn't keep them in mind.
I am aware that the relationship is what assists psychological change, so finding the right therapist/supervisor in life is super important when it comes to YOUR potential.
I am a recovering anxious person but not in the pretentious kind of way. More a gentle, nurturing way to encourage you to take your space in the world 1 step at a time. Not like your mam pushy but the cool aunty who has your back kind of way.

I am a humanistic therapist with experience under my belt and the ability to assist you in designing your life in a way which is meaningful to you.

    I undertook my placement in a hospice setting - attending to those who needed therapy for grief and loss due to natural death, death through illness and death by suicide.

    I then proceeded to a placement within a school setting after facilitating groups for children within the hospice setting. I stayed with Place2Be until I was recruited into the NHS.

    From here I also gained a general counselling placement in my local area offering online work during the pandemic - this enabled me to work online, which I came to understand is where my skills excelled.

    I ceased volunteering in the summer of 2021 - this was due in part as id been offered a place to offer short term work within primary care settings. I still work here, however I am looking to broaden my horizons and get back to my roots.

    I became a therapist to assist those who felt alone in a world not inclusive of them - I struggled enormously as an undiagnosed neurodivergent therapist in personal therapy and in the educational setting of training to become a therapist. Ableist aggressions were rife, which made me wish to withdraw more from 'the world'.
