I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This certifies that my training is to a professional standard and that I work within the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions: www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework. You can check my membership on the professional register here: www.bacpregister.org.uk
I very much hope that you wouldn’t have cause to complain about my practice such that we couldn’t find a resolution together. If you do however, you can contact the BACP here: www.bacp.co.uk/prof_conduct/
I am in ongoing and regular clinical supervision for my work.

My experience and interests
I identify as queer and I am passionate about working affirmatively with gender, sexual and relational diversities. For five years I managed a counselling service for LGBT Health and Wellbeing in Glasgow. I am currently on the board for Kaleidoscope Counselling.
Past experience includes long-term work within a university research clinic, time-limited work within a charity for people affected by cancer, and online, time-limited work with workers of a women's centre for minoritised ethnic women.
I actively work - from and towards - an intersectional, anti-oppressive practice that recognises the greater systems and contexts we come from, and are working within.
I am trained to work with the uniqueness of each individual in whatever they are experiencing and however they experience it.
However, the stuff I often work with includes:
-
anxiety
-
depression
-
relationship difficulties (all types of relationship)
-
sex and sexuality
-
gender
-
isolation, alienation and unbelonging
-
loss and grieving (all forms of loss e.g. death, break-up, divorce, infertility, jobs...)
-
fear and feeling stuck
- life transitions and change
-
confusion and difficult choices
-
self-worth / self-confidence / self-esteem
-
neurodivergence and high sensitivity
-
illness and life-limiting conditions
-
refugee & asylum seeking experiences
-
minority struggles
-
spirituality
