I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 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 of directors for Kaleidoscope Counselling.
I have also worked within a university research clinic, a charity for people affected by cancer, and 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.
However, the stuff I often work with includes:
-
anxiety
-
depression
-
relationships - all types
-
sex & sexuality
-
gender
-
isolation & unbelonging
-
loss & grieving - all forms of heartbreak
- life transitions
-
self-worth/confidence/esteem
-
trauma
-
transcultural experiences (particularly including south Asian contexts)
-
migration
-
minority struggles
-
family / fertility / conception / abortion / miscarriage / birth / parenting (particularly in queer contexts)
-
neurodivergence, ASD, AD(H)D, high sensitivity
