My work is informed by Queer theory, Feminism, pleasure positivity body positive & Body neutral movements and is sex worker friendly. In addition to Queer and BIPOC clients, I aim to create a safer space for fat and disabled people as well as those marginalised by class or migration status. My approach is uniquely informed by my education, clinical work and my personal experiences. My training was in Psychodynamic Counselling which means that there is a focus on how early childhood experiences and relationships to caregivers may have unconsciously affected how we think, feel about ourselves and relate to others. I have recently completed a foundational training in EMDR and am excited to incorporate this into my practice. I find it's important to continue to expand my knowledge and learn evidence based approaches to healing from trauma. For me a significant part of therapeutic work is the relationship between Therapist and Client. This is why I attempt to build trust and provide a safer space for my clients to feel heard and understood. I do this through empathic listening, reflection and validation of the client's feelings. I see these as powerful tools in the process of healing; tools that will empower a client to explore unconscious thought patterns, beliefs, behaviors and emotions. I understand that clients' experiences in life are distinctive and require individual care. I do not believe that there is a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to Counselling which is why I enjoy integrating aspects of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques as well as other approaches into my clinical work according to the needs of the client. I am looking forward to the opportunity to join you on your journey towards better mental health and overall wellness. I work in English and primarily 1-1. Find out more about my work at Kemoy.de
