About me
I am a white-British, English speaking, queer transgender guy with a mixed-class experience. I'm neurodivergent and (mostly) able-bodied. I work to process the privileges, as well as the challenges that the different identities I have, bring. I hold high expectations of myself to practice in a way that is diversity-affirmative and anti-oppressive. Due to the privileges I hold I clearly have blind spots and welcome direct feedback and criticism, especially if I have been hurtful.
In my practice I value understanding the ongoing power dynamics and systemic oppression alive in the world today (in the form of racism, patriarchy, transphobia, classism, homophobia, ableism etc) and how the impact of this oppression shows up in us and in relationship. I bring this awareness and apply it to the work that I do.
In my practice I aim for a balance of support, understanding you, and challenge (encouraging you to grow when the moment is right). My style is a mixture of curious, sincere, direct, transparent and occasionally humorous.
I am fully qualified, insured and a registered member of BACP.
I'm a bit of a hobbyist and in my spare time I can often be found playing Ultimate Frisbee, singing in a choir
or dancing.
