I have worked in a group supervision setting, both as a participant and facilitator, for a number of years. I attend supervision both for my counselling and supervision work in order to ensure the best outcomes for my clients and supervisees and subscribe to the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I am also a member of EMDR Association UK.

I have worked across a range of presentations and intersectional characteristics. My specialisms include working with marginalised and historically repressed communities, promoting social justice and tackling minority stress.
