Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Looking for providers can be a confusing process, so to help you make an informed choice, my goal is to ensure you leave my website without any mystery as to who I am:
I’m originally from the UK (fair warning, the 100% correct way that I pronounce and spell the word ‘aluminium’ might enrage you), where I spent the majority of the past 20 years working as a creative exec in film & tv. This was all very exciting work, but ultimately felt unfulfilling.
After moving to Los Angeles, CA., the call to repurpose my love of connecting through our stories soon grew louder. So, after years of extensive training in educational and clinical settings, it’s an honor and a privilege to offer my lived experience in service of this community.
As a foreigner to this country, albeit hailing from a place with many similarities, I feel a slight, but distinct, cultural distance that brings both an international dimension to my work, and allows me to meet others with genuine curiosity, empathy, and compassion.
Apart from all that good stuff, I also welcome any chat about football (round ball), Bake-Off, & Love Island, preferably over a nice cup of tea.
