Special interest areas

I have extensive experience working with the Armed Forces both Veterans and Serving Personnel and I have a particular interest in intercultural counselling, supporting exploration of topics such as implicit biases, cultural & racial identity and interracial relationships. As a neurodivergent person myself I am keen to support others who maybe at the beginning of their journey and in need of some empathic support. I never presume to have all the answer but I have successfully supported clients with ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. My lived experience of systematic oppression fuels my passion and mission is to empower people from neurodiverse and culturally diverse communities to thrive. .

Personal Statement

As an Integrative therapist, I draw on the approaches that best suit the issues that people bring into the space. I am trained to work with a number of issues including; trauma, bereavement, intercultural, depression, anxiety, high risk and I am also both an adult and youth Mental Health First Aider. 

I believe within this space, we can unlock change and create a toolkit that promotes personal potential and find wholehearted connection. It’s my absolute pleasure and privilege to be a teammate, facilitator, educator and guest in others lives.
