About me

Since I completed my first degree in English Literature, I’ve always lived and worked in East London.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in the music industry for many years – first as a journalist, and then with artists on their live touring. I then joined an international child protection charity to promote fundraising shows, series and festivals to raise money to protect, educate and advocate for the rights of children affected by war & conflict around the world. This work included launching a series to highlight the specific challenges faced by girls and young women in conflict zones, and events advocating for greater awareness, understanding and action around mental health support for artists and those working in the music industry.

My therapist training was at Goldsmiths, University of London, where I completed a PGDip Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling. Before this, I completed foundation training at Goldsmiths and an introductory course at Birkbeck.

In addition to working privately, my therapeutic experience includes working in community mental health services, working with people experiencing homelessness or precarious housing & many years voluntary experience in suicide prevention.

I have always been interested in people, their stories, and the radical possibilities that might come from understanding ourselves and others with more hope, empathy and care. My research, writing and practice is inspired by queer, feminist & decolonial writers and theorists that I believe help us to do so.
