I have been in practice as a therapist since 2014.

Before starting my private practice in Manchester, I worked as a therapist in various agency settings, including for Mind in Tower Hamlets, the Centre for Better Health in Hackney and for Metanoia’s own counselling service MCPS. I have volunteered as a Samaritan, and currently volunteer with a not-for-profit community organisation delivering harm reduction and welfare at live events, clubs and festivals.

Prior to working as a therapist, I worked in the creative industries for a number of years. While I trained and for some time after I qualified I worked in the third (charity) sector.

Some issues I have helped people with include anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship difficulties, life transitions, feelings of ‘stuckness’, losses in all their forms, clients wishing to explore their identity, low self-esteem, concerns with work, trauma and many others. I also have experience working with neurodiversity.

I am a queer therapist, and my practice is welcoming, inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming. I’ve taken therapist training with Gendered Intelligence and have experience working alongside trans and non-binary people.

I have a particular interest in the impact of paid employment or work on our sense of self, and have worked alongside many clients who are in the process of questioning their relationship with work.
