FAQ’s

Yes. I consider myself both trauma-informed, and trauma-trained. From my own history, I have both personal experience in healing and trauma-recovery, as well as a professional interest in healing from trauma.

In 2024, I completed the one-year professional training with Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry, a trauma-informed approach that centres nervous system regulation, and the client’s autonomy.

Yes! I identify as Queer, consider myself an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and would be happy to work with anyone across the spectrum of sexual or gender expression.

Yes! I support people to discover the relationship style that works best for them, and/ or support the transition process (for example, from monogamy to open-relating).

I myself believe in co-creating relationships and live by the tenets of Relationship Anarchy.

Kink and BDSM have played an important part in my own journey and healing process. I have been involved in the kink community for over 15 years and have a good understanding of clear consent, communication, and power dynamics, teaching workshops on Embodied Consent.

I trained with Spectrumtherapy (London) in 2015 to become a psychotherapist, and more recently completed the year-long Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training with Gabor Maté (a deep dive into trauma and trauma-recovery work).

For touch-based work, I have also completed professional trainings in conscious kink, tantra and the Wheel of Consent.

I am what you could call a lifelong learner. You can view the long and short training and CPD courses I have completed here.

I love to receive feedback, whether it is positive (always a joy to receive), or difficult to hear (we always learn the most from our mistakes). It is my intention to always work from a place of integrity, but accidents can and do happen. I am a fallible human being after all.

To this end I have created a Feedback & Accountability page, which you can access here. This is a place where you can provide me with feedback (anonymously if you would feel more comfortable to), or with details of three people you can choose from, who have agreed to have any difficult conversations with me that may be required around accountability.

I’m based in Brighton, UK, and happy to welcome you to my Studio for in-person sessions, or to meet online for talk-based sessions.

All talk-based sessions are one hour (60 minutes) in length.

I have learned that, especially when Compassionate Inquiry or Parts work is involved, the traditional 50-minute session is rarely enough.

My standard hourly rate is currently £100/ hour (for both in person bodywork and online coaching), but I offer a sliding scale based on income, from £80/ hour for those getting by, to £120/ hour for those in a position to pay it forward and support me in working with those getting by.

I also keep a limited number of slots each week for low-income clients. Please contact me directly to discuss your situation.

For more info please visit my Fees & Boundaries page, here.

No. But for talk-based sessions, I do ask for payment in full before the session.

I want my work to be as accessible as possible. So if finances feel like a barrier, please get in touch with me directly to see if we can find a mutually agreeable solution.

With talk therapy, for example, I reserve a limited number of session slots each week for those on a pay-what-you-can basis.

You can cancel up to 48 hours (2 days) before a session, with a refund of any funds already paid.

For cancellations within the 48-hour period, payment can be transferred to a follow-up session at my discretion.

Cancellations on the day of the session (including not turning up for a pre-agreed session) will be subject to the full charge.

Yes! As someone with AuDHD, I have learned to accept that I am also disabled.

For those with physical limitations, please note that the flat where I hold sessions is not accessible (steps to the front door and further internal flights to the second floor). If you have a disability that would preclude working with me because of this, I would suggest we stick with online sessions.

I’m based in Brighton, UK, a beautiful sea-side town just an hour from London on the train (an only 30 minutes from Gatwick Airport).

But I regularly travel to London to visit clients, and across the UK. As long as my expenses are covered then I’m happy to discuss what might work for both of us.

Unless you have a very specific request, I typically recommend a minimum of 3 hours for a touch-based session. This allows time to really drop-in to an experience without worrying about the clock ticking down.

It’s also worth noting that the arrival and welcome at the beginning of the session (a cup of tea and a chat around intentions, boundaries and limitations), and the aftercare and closing at the end, can take a fair bit of time.

My standard hourly rate is currently £100/ hour (for both in person bodywork and online coaching), but I offer a sliding scale based on income, from £80/ hour for those getting by, to £120/ hour for those in a position to pay it forward and support me in working with those getting by.

For more info please visit my Fees & Boundaries page, here.

My hourly rate is for the time we spend together in session, so travel is not included.

I offer a standard £100 Call-out fee for visiting clients in London (this covers travel costs and food/refreshments).

But I also travel further afield, by agreement, around travel costs. Contact me directly to get a discussion going around that.

Yes. I ask for up-front payment of 1 hour of my time, at the time-of-booking, with the remainder payable before arriving for our session.

I offer a full refund for cancellations up to 3 days before the session.

For cancellation up to 24 hours before the session, the 1-hour deposit is not refundable.

For cancellations within 24 hours of the session, I offer no refund at this point.

No. I work with people of all genders and orientations, in both talk- and touch-based work.

Yes! It feels important to me to offer this work irrespective of physical limitations.

There are however access issues to the flat where I hold sessions (steps to the front door and further internal flights to the second floor). If you have a disability that would preclude working with me because of this, I would be prepared to discuss the possibility of travelling to you.

Yes. I offer overnight and even 24-hour sessions. I consider these to be deep-dive immersive experiences and, because of the generosity of time, they can be deeply transformative. Please contact me directly for more information.

In principle, I am available as a travel companion. Again, please contact me directly to see if we can work something out.
