For a number of years, I worked as a counsellor for a local charity in Hastings, offering short term therapy. Alongside my private practice, I am working with another Hastings-based organisation which provides a whole range of creative and supportive services for young people in the area. My main role within this service has been providing counselling via GP referrals and within local schools.

​

I am currently working towards my Certification in Couples & Relationship Therapy through the Gestalt Centre.

 

For the majority of my training, I volunteered as a counsellor for an organisation in Brighton, supporting people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.  I provide LGBTQ+ affirmative counselling and I hold a personal interest in working within these communities. I hold some experience and training in working with gender diversity and exploring sexuality.

Some of the other issues I have some experience in working with include:

​

• low self-esteem

• loss of identity

• suicidal ideation

• bereavement

• bereavement by suicide

• sexual abuse & rape

• depression

• work/ study related stress

• anxiety
