TESTIMONIALS
Therapy for Men, Women & LGBTQ+ Clients
As a BACP‑qualified counsellor and psychotherapist I offer counselling and individual therapy in Leeds, with online sessions available UK‑wide. I work with people struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, stress, low self‑esteem, relationship difficulties and identity‑related concerns. I have particular experience supporting people with issues around sexuality, relationships and self‑acceptance, including work with men and LGBTQ+ clients.
My approach is collaborative, grounded and focused on what actually helps — understanding what’s driving your distress, working through difficult emotions and building clarity and confidence.
Who I work with
You might be a professional holding everything together on the surface but struggling underneath.
You might be someone who finds it hard to open up — or unsure how to even start.
You might be part of the LGBTQ+ community and want a therapist who understands the nuance without you having to explain everything.
Whatever brings you here, something isn’t sitting right — whether that’s anxiety, relationship issues, feeling stuck, or not fully understanding yourself.
That’s what we work through together.
I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, neurodiversity and struggles with sexuality—helping you make sense of who you are to find a way forward.

My path into counselling began through years of volunteering with organisations such as Samaritans and Leeds Mind. I later worked in the NHS and university counselling services, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds, including those navigating neurodiversity, identity, trauma and complex life transitions.
I bring a straightforward, collaborative approach to therapy. I am humanistic at my core, which means I see our relationship as central to the work we do together. You won’t be met with jargon or clinical language - instead, we’ll explore what’s going on for you in an honest way - person to person, at your pace.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties, or a more general sense that something isn’t quite right, we’ll work together to make sense of things and find a way forward that feels authentic to you. I welcome and affirm all identities, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, and I aim to create a space where you don’t have to hide or edit parts of yourself.
I currently offer sessions in person and online, creating a flexible and accessible space for us to connect.
FAQ’s
I’ve never had therapy before - what can I expect?
No two people are the same, therefore every therapy session is different. I aim to provide a relaxing space for you. The first session will be about getting to know your reasons for seeking therapy and taking some details from you. We will discuss your expectations and you can also ask me questions.
How do I work?
I work in a person-centred, integrative way, with influences of psychodynamic therapy. This means we can adapt as we continue to work together. Some people use sessions to let off steam, while others wish to delve deeper into the past. You may prefer structure and challenge. For this I may integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, where we explore your thoughts and behaviours or Solution Focused techniques.
How many sessions would I need?
There are no rules to therapy duration. At the start, it is useful to have a consistent amount of sessions together to build a rapport and get to know each other. Thereafter, I offer open-ended therapy depending on your issues.
How much does each session cost?
My rate is £60 for a 50 minute session. It is important to me that you feel I am the right therapist for you. For this reason I offer an initial free 15 min call to discuss what is going on for you. I also offer concessions for students or those on low income.
