Whatever the reason, it will be a valid one.
We all deserve a space where we can express ourselves and our inner thoughts freely and safely.
There are so many reasons why you may go to therapy. It can be for anyone and everyone, and it can take some fine tuning to find the right therapist and therapy approach for you.

Drop me a message if you are interested in finding out more about therapy today!

Booking a first ever therapy session can be really daunting.
That is why I offer free consultation calls before beginning therapy.

What to expect from a consultation call with me:
- A free 15 minute call
- Find out what you want and need from therapy
- Work out if we would be a good working match therapeutically
- An opportunity to ask any questions or voice any worries you may have about starting therapy before stepping into that space

Please feel free to DM me for any further information

Now taking October bookings ☺️

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Please take the time to share this post and let your friends and loved ones know that help is just a message or call away.

Your outreach might be the lifeline someone desperately needs. Together, we can help save lives. Let's break the silence and stigma surrounding su***de. 💜

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling will feel heavy for many of us - especially the trans community.

The mental health toll of public debate, constant scrutiny in the media, and legal decisions like this is profound. For trans people, this isn’t just political or legal. It’s personal. It’s exhausting.

We know some of you are struggling right now, but know this: regardless of this ruling, we’ll keep providing compassionate, tailored mental health support and fighting for the rights of everyone with a mental health problem.

You are safe here. We see you. We stand with you.

If you need support, here are some places you can go:

🔹 Switchboard LGBT - 0800 0119100
🔹 Galop - 0800 999 5428
🔹 MindOut - mindout.org.uk
🔹 Mermaids - 0808 801 0400
🔹 Gendered Intelligence - genderedintelligence.co.uk
🔹 LGBT Foundation - lgbt.foundation

Thank you to Not A Phase and for the artwork 💙
