I am a qualified and BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming counselling in Folkestone (CT20) and online across Kent and the UK.

I aim to offer a space where you can speak openly about your experiences without fear of judgement, and find warmth, empathy and understanding.

My Experience

I am experienced in supporting people who are struggling with anxiety, depression and emotional distress, as well as those living with more complex or enduring mental health diagnoses. I have worked with clients who have a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorder, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), personality disorders, or a history of psychosis. I am not here to pathologise or stigmatise your experience, but to offer a safe and human space to explore things and proccess feelings.

I understand that your indivdual mental health experiences are often layered, and that they don’t exist in isolation from your relationships, identity or wider life circumstances. I want therapy with me to be a place where you can explore patterns, manage emotional intensity, develop coping strategies, and build a more compassionate understanding of yourself.

Alongside private practice, I have provided affirmative and confidential counselling and psychotherapy for NHS staff and within charity settings. I have also worked more broadly in mental health roles across higher education, third-sector organisations and NHS services.

I offer counselling in-person in Folkestone (CT20), via video call, and via telephone, depending on what feels most accessible and comfortable for you.

LGBTQIA+ Centred Practice

I am a member of the queer community and consider my practice to be LGBTQIA+ centred. I can help you to explore gender identity, coming out, internalised homophobia, queer relationships, and the impact of navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ person.

I strongly believe that our sexuality, gender identity, race, social class and other social identities are deeply interwoven with our emotional wellbeing. Any experiences you may have of discrimination, marginalisation or minority stress can have a profound impact, and you deserve a therapeutic space that understands this context.

You won’t need to educate me about the basics of queer experience. My aim is to provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Folkestone that feels informed, safe and grounded.

Accessibility & Flexibility

I am passionate about making counselling as accessible and responsive as possible. I have experience working with neurodivergent clients and those living with chronic illness. I recognise that traditional therapy structures don’t work for everyone, and I will do my best to adapt our sessions to meet your needs — whether that means adjusting pacing, communication style, or practical arrangements.

Counselling should not require you to fit into a rigid framework. It should work with who you are.

If you feel that my approach resonates with you, I’d be glad to hear from you. I offer LGBTQIA+ centred counselling in Folkestone (CT20) and online, and provide a free introductory call to see whether we’re a good fit. There is no pressure — just an opportunity to connect and ask any questions you may have.
