I studied with a gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity (GSRD) speciality, and this has been broadened with my experience working within NHS gender services, HIV services, and services supporting communities marginalised on the basis of sexuality. In past roles, I have also worked with refugees, survivors of trafficking, and people who have experienced the care system.

Together, this practice alongside my own life experiences, have given me a grounded, practical understanding of the particular pressures, histories, and joys that can come with being LGBTQ+, non-monogamous, kink-identified, or otherwise living outside more conventional relationship or sexual norms, as well as a wider sensitivity to how exclusion and instability in early life can shape relationships and sense of self. Clients who come to me with these experiences don’t need to explain the basics before we can get to the real work.

That said, this specialism doesn’t define who I see. I work just as happily with anyone facing difficulties in their relationships, their sex life, or their sense of self, whatever your identity, orientation, or relationship structure. What matters most to me is that together we can build a space where you feel seen, and able to explore your own life, desires, and future.
