Integrative Therapeutic Counselling

Trauma-Informed Therapy for LGBTQ+, POC, Survivors and Minority groups

Queer & POC Affirming Counselling

I provide a dedicated sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ community and the Global Majority (POC) in Leeds. Navigating the world as a marginalized person often involves masking and chronic stress. In our sessions, your identity is not something to be explained, but a foundation for our work together.

Sex Work Positive Therapy

As a former sex worker myself, I offer a strictly non-judgmental, stigma-free space for sex workers. Whether you want to discuss your work specifically or explore unrelated issues like anxiety, trauma, or relationships, you can do so without fear of pathologisation or rescue narratives.

Support for Survivors of Sexual & Domestic Abuse

Healing from interpersonal violence requires a pace that honours your safety. I offer trauma-informed support for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, with a focus on reclaiming agency and body sovereignty. Using a blend of talk and somatic work, we focus on stabilising your nervous system and processing the impact of trauma without rushing into re-living the events. Waiting lists can be long for SA and DV charities like SARVL and Leeds Women’s Aid. Here you can receive private trauma-informed care. I have worked with many SA and DV clients at a Rape and Domestic Abuse charity and carry my training and experience with me into my private practice.

Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy (ADHD & Autism)

I provide a neuro-affirming sanctuary specifically for the AuDHD (Autism & ADHD) community to unmask. My approach is centred in understanding your unique sensory needs, managing burnout, and embracing your authentic self. I welcome self-diagnosed individuals and those navigating the complexities of being late-identified.

The Migrant & Diaspora Experience

Navigating life as a migrant, refugee, or first-generation individual often involves complex layers of displacement, cultural grief, and the pressure to assimilate. I provide a space to explore the nuances of belonging, identity, and generational trauma. We look at how systemic structures and the “immigrant hustle” impact your mental health today.

Body Image & Somatic Reclamation

In a world that often polices the bodies of women, Queers, POCs and larger humans, I offer a space for somatic reclamation. If you struggle with body dysmorphia, the impact of diet culture, or are feeling disconnected from your physical self, we use somatic movement and gentle touch to help you find a sense of home within your own skin.

Somatic Movement & Trauma-Informed Touch

Sometimes, words aren’t enough to reach the places where trauma lives. I integrate Somatic Movement and Therapeutic Touch to help regulate your nervous system and process “stuck” emotions. Touch is always optional, strictly collaborative, and never a requirement of our work together. Your boundaries are the foundation of our sessions.

Integrative Talk Therapy

Rooted in empathy and radical acceptance, my person-centred talk therapy sessions provide a space to explore your inner world. I work with clients through feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, dissociation, panic attacks, grief and anger.
