Welcome
We all have times when we are struggling and need support. It can make a huge difference to find an LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist who welcomes you as you are, with warmth and understanding. The therapeutic relationship can be profoundly transformative, enabling us to lead more creative, meaningful and fulfilling lives.
What I offer
I have had twenty years’ experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds to move towards deeper understanding and lasting change.
Issues
I have worked with a wide range of issues, including:
- Coming out
- Grief and loss
- Loneliness
- Self-esteem
- Aging
- Relationship difficulties
- Finding deeper meaning and purpose
About Me
I trained as an integrative therapist in Australia. I have a Graduate Diploma in Individual and Relationship Therapy, and an MA in Women’s Studies.
After moving to the UK, I combined private practice with work in LGBTQ+ services. I have managed Brighton’s LGBT Community Forum and Relate’s LGBT couples counselling service, and worked as a counsellor for Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard.
Counselling or Psychotherapy?
There isn't a clear line separating counselling from psychotherapy. Counselling tends to be shorter-term and more solution-oriented, whereas psychotherapy tends to be longer-term and more exploratory.
