I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years, 9 of these specifically in the mental health sector as a family therapist and couples counsellor. I use an open, honest, and transparent approach in counselling that is delivered with warmth, compassion, and humour. I am an advocate for the LGBTQI+ community, providing a safe space for all. I hold a clinical masters in Family therapy, diplomas in Psychology, Child and Adolescent Psychology, Health and Human Behavior, and Child Protection Studies.

• Trauma and Attachment/Systems Theory
• Polyvagal Theory
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Emotion Focussed Couple/Family Therapy
• Mindfulness
• No Bullsh*t Therapy
