I have an MSc Therapeutic Counselling (with distinction) from the University of Greenwich’s accredited course. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and I abide by its Ethical Framework. I am also a registered member of the Eye Movement Desensitisation (EMDR) and Reprocessing Association UK & Ireland.

​

I have worked in a variety of settings, using a range of approaches, with clients who were experiencing difficulties including complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown and other issues that were impacting negatively on their sense of wellbeing.

​

I engage in ongoing Continuing Professional Development to ensure best practice in my work and regularly provide consultancy services to businesses across the UK and abroad. I am currently an editor for the BACP as part of their accreditation processes and a supervisor for media and human rights companies in Africa as well as for the third sector in the UK. In recent years, I edited the international, peer-reviewed journal Bereavement Care, published by Routledge in association with Cruse Bereavement Care and was also a radio producer for the BBC, where I was twice winner of the Glenfiddich Award for the Best Radio Programme.

​

I am also a practicing artist exploring themes of identity, sexuality and meaning and regularly collaborate with other artists in exhibitions and projects using a variety of mediums such as photography, drawing and fabrics. In 2019 and 2021, I facilitated a workshop for people affected by cancer where I enabled the participants to self-express through the medium of photography. I currently co-facilitate art therapy groups for queer artists with lived experience of mental health difficulties via the Arts and Health Hub.
