My Practice
Liberation work means I bring many psychological approaches (traditional and more progressive, too), all centred around your wellbeing, safety, choices and empowerment. Your comfort, psychological safety, and preferences are my priorities.
As a liberation practitioner, I am trained in many approaches to offer a way of working that empowers you and suits your needs. I can help you find the right therapeutic approach.
In our sessions, we can explore and make meaning from your experience of the world through a safe, trusted, non-judgmental conversation.
We can create a calm, trusted space for your healing.
We can identify the roots of your challenges and find ways to move forward.
We can reflect on oppression and misuse of power in our lives and identify safe and sustainable ways to resist it.
Together, we can identify opportunities for healing - some can be practical, and others may require deeper psychological exploration.
Finally, we can also explore liberation towards a healthier, happier life.
Additionally, I am passionate about good digital wellbeing and trauma recovery.
I offer NET therapy for PTSD.
I am a certified Virtual Reality counsellor and a founder of a digital wellbeing startup, Voxel Hub. I am a certified Geek Therapist.
I combine my experience in teaching, business, charity work, digital activism, and youth projects to offer an affirming view of good mental health in the digital age. I support people struggling with negative tech bias, technophobia, digital fatigue, online abuse, geek discrimination, and addictive online behaviours.
I work with leaders, professionals, parents and mental health practitioners wishing to embrace digital age opportunities safely.
I worked for leading local and national counselling charities in one-to-one and group settings online, via telephone, in person and in Nature. I deliver CPD courses for Iron Mill College of Counselling in Exeter. I'm a member and follow the ethical guidelines of the BACP (counselling), Institute of Leadership and Management and EMMC Global (coaching).
Like all ethical practitioners, I am in ongoing personal (liberation) therapy and have an experienced (somatic) supervisor.
