About Me

I am a queer and trans Person-Centred psychotherapist. I recently completed a research based MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy and Applications from the Metanoia Institute and Middlesex University. My research looked at the experiences of trans and non-binary people training to be Person-Centred therapists using Heuristic Enquiry.

I mostly work in Private Practice but also volunteer at a bereavement support service in East London (CELBS). Previously I have volunteered for Spectra, a peer led service, working as part of their trans counselling team.

I started training with a particular interest in working with other trans and non-binary people. I am still very passionate about working with this group and it is still a major part of my work today. It can be invaluable to have a therapist who has some first hand experience of similar identities to oneself. Having said this my interests have also broadened and I am interested in working outside of the queer community also.

On learning about the Person-Centred approach I found it incredibly affirming. As my supervisors says, ‘we do not become person-centred but discover that we are so’ and I couldn’t agree more. As part of my continued pursuit to understand my myself and this approach I co-run an encounter group through the Person-Centred Association.

In part of my commitment to support trans and non-binary people I set up a peer support group for trans and non-binary trainee therapists/counsellors across the UK and Ireland. I ran this for 4 years and have recently handed over to upcoming trainees. If you are a trainee and interested in joining please email transtraineetherapists@gmail.com

I am also a part of Person-Centred Online and can be found on the Pink Therapy directory of GSRD therapists.
