ABOUT ME

I have always enjoyed working with and supporting people stand up against challenges in their lives. I spent much of the early part of my career supporting children and young people and later on worked with families, queer folks and survivors of sexual and family violence. I have also delivered training and facilitated gatherings and workshops in schools, workplaces and community settings. I identify as queer and non-binary and use they/them pronouns (read more about what that means here).

Currently, I speak to people of all ages about things like…

​

• Experiences of childhood sexual abuse, relationship violence, sexual violence and family violence

• Challenges and hopes in relationships and sex (including non-normative familial, sexual, romantic or platonic relationships)

• Gender explorations and transitions

• Responding to and surviving racism, homophobia, biphobia, fatphobia, police violence and other forms of structural violence

• The effects of mental illness and of navigating the mental health system

• Abelism, neurodiversity, experiences of chronic pain or illness and dis-ability.

• Mental health effects of the climate crisis

​

I also support loved ones of Queer and Trans folk who have come out or are transitioning as well as those looking to address their use of abuse, and violence.

​

In my work, I use a Narrative therapy framework informed by intersectional feminism, Queer and decolonizing movements.
