About Me
I am a qualified and BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming and neuro-inclusive counselling in Folkestone (CT20) and online across Kent and the UK.
I 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 stigmatise your experience, but to offer an empathetic space to explore and proccess your 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.. 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.
I don’t believe that counselling should ask 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.
