Do you support under 18s?
I currently only work with individuals aged 18+.
Do you support Trans young people?
Absolutely! I have several young trans clients (between 18 - 20) and I am more than happy to support trans clients. While I do not offer any diagnoses, I am happy to support clients dealing with gender dysphoria and exploring their identity and orientation.
You say you work with sex workers - what does that imply?
I am a sex affirmative therapist who provides a non-judgmental and confidential service. I am not here to 'save' or 'convert' you. I am here to support you in whatever challenge you face without judgment or stigma. Sex work is work and it does not define you - it is as simple as that.
What type of therapist are you?
I follow a pluralistic model which means that I am not rigidly applying any one methodology but pick and choose between various modalities to mould the experience as close as possible to what the client needs.
Can you make me better?
Counselling is not magic - it is a collaborative process where we work together towards you goals. I am not here to 'make you' do anything or to 'take over' and teach you what to do. I am here to provide a space where you can reflect on your challenges and perhaps offer a different perspective on things. Think of it as someone who is just helping you complete a difficult puzzle.

What is the Initial session ?
This is a free session to explore the issue in detail as well as learn more about you and to see if we click.
What is the typical length of treatment, frequency & number of sessions?
Everyone is different and it depends on the issue. Sessions usually take place weekly or bi-weekly, and the number of sessions required will be mutually agreed depending on the issue and treatment plan. A session lasts around 50 minutes.
Can I get my sessions on my private health insurance?
I am accredited by organisations which are accepted by most health insurers. Please check with your medical insurer provider.
Can I get treatment with you on the NHS?
No, this is not possible for private clients.
Can you prescribe medication?
No. This is something that a GP or Psychiatrist would be able to do.
Do I need my GP to refer me?
No you can refer yourself privately.
Do you offer home visits?
I am sorry but I am not able to do home visits. Sessions take place via Zoom.
